Punky Brewster’s “Happy Chaos” 30 years later, the quintessential 80’s kid, Soleil Moon Frye, is now a married mom of two, entrepreneur of a successful kids’ clothing line & social media whiz. Happy Chaos invites women into Soleil’s world. She believes that “happy chaos” is the sign of a family operating at its best-when parents accept that they’ll make mistakes, that there will be messes, tears & skinned knees. She learned to love a jumbled life during her own childhood, when her own mom created an atmosphere that was thoroughly unconventional. In this book, she shows how her happy but chaotic childhood informed her parenting: Each chapter begins with a telling reminiscence before moving into insightful advice & fun stories about her life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejy-shnW0vQ
