Teens

I've always been kinda obsessed with words -- finding the right word, using unusual words, even making up words.  This began when I was a very little girl.  My dad loves to tell the story of how he would stand just out of my line of sight to listen to me playing.  I would speak as if I was reading aloud a script, saying things like " 'Oh, no!' she exclaimed" as my dolls had crazy adventures.  (My boss Jeremy claims I still do this.  He calls it narrating my life.)  Anyway, words are a thing with me.  And I love any and all games where words are important, like Scrabble and Boggle.  But I completely love, love, LOVE Mad Libs!

Today is National Pizza Party Day!  Now this is a holiday worth celebrating!  Here's what you need to have the best NPPD ever!

1. You need pizza.
You can order some for delivery, grab a frozen one from the grocery store, or whip up your own -- like these octopus-shaped pizzas or pizza bagels.  Sometimes it's hard to decide what toppings to include, especially if you have a larger family with a variety of preferences.  These cute pizza order forms will help you get organized.  Don't want something savory?  Why not try mini fruit pizzas or a pizza with a watermelon crust?
