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.

Life According to Serophina

Everything makes sense when you're three.

Kids say the funniest things, which is always a sweet reminder of their age and innocence. I love to hear Serophina’s point of view on things and get a glimpse of what goes on in that little mind of hers.

Here are some of her insightful moments from this past week:

In response to me getting out the fiber bran cereal for her to eat for breakfast, she takes it from my hand. “No mom, not this one.” She hands it back to me and says, “Just put it away, put it where you can’t reach it.”

Her favorite place these days is Monkey Joe’s and she’s always thinking of new ways to get us to take her there. When I tell her we can’t go because it’s too far (three hours from here) she says “It’s not too far! You just go straight, then go left then take a right.  The GBS (GPS) will lead us there.”

On the history channel we were watching a program about the Titanic, this was Serophina’s take on it:

“That ship went down, down, down into the ocean and all the people starting falling back and back and back until they fell into the water?”

Me: “Yes, isn’t that sad?”

Her: “Yes. They got covered in all the animals poop and pee.”

She also likes to lay pillows on the ground then jump onto them from the back of the couch. I could see from the corner of my eye what she was about to do and reminded her that she’s not allowed to.  She, of course, had the perfect solution: “It’s ok mom, just turn your head away for a second and I promise you won’t see me do it.”

What kind of things do your kids say that make you laugh?
