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.

The Battle Over The Baby Perm-Video Post

The Facebook picture

If I had a dollar for every time my husband told me I needed to get Sayle’s hair cut, I would be a millionaire.  He and I were constantly engaging in a battle over Sayle’s hair.  My husband felt that I was making him look like a girl (whatever) by keeping it long and I felt that his hair was adorable and I was afraid if it was cut, he would lose his curls.

The battle turned nasty when he posted a bad hair day picture of Sayle on Facebook.  We had taken Sayle to the pool that morning and he had sunscreen in his hair, making it quite easy for my husband to make Sayle’s hair stick straight up.  He snapped a few pictures, loaded them into Facebook under a folder named “does Sayle need his haircut?”  These pictures certainly rallied the troops in total support of Sayle getting a haircut.  I was livid that people actually thought I would let Sayle walk around looking like Kramer from Seinfeld!

After taking all the “school yard bullying” I could possibly handle from my husband, family members, and other various Facebook friends who felt obligated to voice their opinion, I finally broke down and had it trimmed.  I honestly wasn’t ready to trim his hair.  Yes, it was long when it was wet, but when it was dry, his curls were so tight you couldn’t tell how long it was.  Reluctantly, I agreed a little trim wouldn’t hurt anything and vowed to never let my husband live his Facebook rally down.

I waited until I went home and had my best friend trim Sayle’s hair.  He crawled all over her chair and required some distraction in order to sit still, but she did a fantastic job.  She didn’t cut too much off at all and Sayle’s baby perm looked perfect!

Here is a video of Sayle’s reaction to his new haircut.  He loved himself!!
