About Me
Name: Chelle Y.

I am a mother of one beautiful six year old boy, and I am a Die-hard Oakland A's fan. I was a history and algebra teacher for nine years before my son came into my life, then became a stay-at-home mom. That has been one of my greatest joys.

I love to play the piano and now I teach other children how to play piano too.

  2. Oh Connect Four! I used to love that game as a child! You can definitely tell by reading this that you have children! It’s amazing how much stuff that accumulate, isn’t it?

    Happy TT!

  15. I’ve just finished rereading George Orwell, so I had to blink a bit when you wrote Little People’s Animal Farm. I must ask, are all the animals equal?
