About Me

My passion is learning. Every year, instead of a New Year's Resolution, I choose something new to learn. The start of this blog was one of those learn something new, as was the start of my other two blogs (Twice As Many Moments for Photography and Salina the Ballerina for Fitness and Ballet).

I started this our family blog in 2007 when I became pregnant with our son, Cooper. It was a way for me to journal about our life and share the details with our friends and family who did not live nearby. I continued the blog as baby books for our children, even after we adopted our daughter, and a place for me to take a journey down memory lane whenever I felt the need. I am truly confounded why anyone wants to keep up with the minutiae of our life, but I don't mind having people I know (and don't!) keep up with us.

Who I am to others:
I am a mother to two children, Charlotte and Cooper who are 4 months apart in age (also known as ‘virtual twins’ because there is less than a 9 month age difference). We get asked about the 4 month age gap quite a bit: one is biological and one was adopted into our family, although still biologically related to me (her birth mother is my sister).

I am a wife to a stay-at-home dad, Chris, who is amazing and supportive of all the crazy things I start up. We have been together for over 15 years and married for 11 years. We have the best time together.

I am also a dog owner to a sweet and loving beagle, Scout, who also EATS everything (including underwear, pants, and sheets), and a crazy, hyper boston terrior, Smiley, who will NOT stop playing fetch.

I am an engineer in the petroleum industry.

I have 1 younger brother, 2 younger sisters, 1 older sister, and 2 older brothers. I have lots of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Both of my parents have passed away.
