Faye Lippitt (nee Alexander) was born and raised in Calgary Alberta and educated at University of Calgary (BA English 1975). She is a columnist and freelance journalist. Faye and her husband Greg crammed their family of six children into eight years by having two sets of twins in the mix. There was turmoil. There was noise. And there was always something to laugh about. And write about. When Greg and Faye left Canada for sunnier climes in the Caribbean, she compiled the articles and thoughts written over twenty years into this book, named after just one of the adventures of one busy family.
