Hey there! I never really know how to introduce myself properly but here it goes. I am originally from New York but when my husband joined the Marine Corps we had to move to Jacksonville, NC. I absolutely love the south. The people are nicer, the weather is better, and it's a great place to raise a family. Which is why I'm here. My husband and I have a beautiful daughter Abigail Yvonne. He has been deployed for her first year but will be coming home shortly. It will be an interesting transition that I look forward to sharing with you! My life might not be all that interesting but being a mom sure is! Follow my blogs and see what I'm talking about.

I grew up in here in North Carolina and attended Duke for my undergraduate and UNC-Chapel Hill for my master’s degrees. I moved up north to Boston after completing school and worked there for five years as an inner-city middle and high school history teacher. While in Boston, I met my husband, Chad, who was there for school, and we were married the summer of 2004. 2007 was a big year for us – we welcomed our son, Nathan, Chad finished school, and we moved to Jacksonville for a great job opportunity for Chad. Nineteen months after Nathan was born, our daughter, Emily, joined our family. Twenty-two months later, Joshua came along. I’m now a stay-at-home mom to my little brood, having “retired” from teaching after Nathan’s arrival. When I’m not busy feeding, cleaning, dressing, and keeping up with Nathan, Emily, Joshua, and their dad, I enjoy reading, quilting, and going to the beach. I also still cheer for my beloved Blue Devils whenever the opportunity arises and thoroughly enjoyed last season’s national championship. Go Duke! Life can be a little busy around here (hello – three kids under the age of four!), but I’m looking forward to sharing life with three active little ones with you.

Goldfish In My Bra

I swear, these things only happen to me!

I have made it a mission to keep my “unorganized mom” sign on my forehead camouflaged and my mess contained to just my purses, but I have undeniably failed my mission as of last week.

GoldfishCrakersI was doing my daily routine of the mad dash around the house to pack up Sayle’s bag and food for the day. He loves Goldfish crackers, so as I packed up his snack, I handed Sayle a couple crackers. I finished packing, gave myself a once over in the mirror, grabbed Sayle, and headed out the door. Even though I was running late, I was in a great mood. The weather was sunny and warm, and I was wearing my favorite black dress and heels to work that day. I was going to have a great day!
I dropped Sayle off at day care, kissed him good bye and then headed to my appointments. I had three appointments that morning, plus I ran a few errands around town before going to the office. While I was in a check out line, I noticed that the clerk kept looking at my chest. Unimpressed by his lack of discretion, (really, it’s not like I’m Pamela Anderson) I chalked his ogling up to being a male with no social know how and carried on with my great day.
When I got to the office, I had some paperwork to complete. As I was bending down to pick a stack of records up, I felt something weird in my bra. Upon my investigation, I found that while I was carrying Sayle to the car, he had somehow stashed a Goldfish in my bra, and I had walked around with that little cracker tucked away for the past three hours!!

PS-The next time you think someone is ogling your chest, it may not be lack of social know how, you very well could have a goldfish in your bra!

    I have visions of being at the check out and the little goldfish popping his head out of my bra and giving the shhhhh sign and then waving(however a goldfish would do that)!
