My name is Laura.

SeaBird  AT  SeaBirdChronicles  DOT  com 

This site chronicles my life and interests,

which at the moment include: 

raising three boys,

art/design/food,

life in Miami,

homeschooling,

and perhaps a smattering of securities trading.  

I’m 39, 

Married to Jonathan since 2000, 

with fraternal twin boys Benjamin and Jonah 

born in January of 2006.

And our third son (SURPRISE!), Silas, 

was born in July of 2009.

I’m currently living in Miami, Florida, 

by way of Texas, Virginia, North Carolina,

Germany, and Argentina.

My previous jobs (in chronological order) include:

frame shop assistant,

veterinarian intern,

White House intern,

writer/editor of software training guides,

software product/acquisitions manager, 

Wife,

church bookkeeper,

Mom,

summer camp director,

homeschooler (kingergarten & 1st grade, so far). 

The bookkeeper one is ironic since I failed accounting

the first time I took it in college.

The words “debit” and “credit” still send shivers down my spine.

I didn’t mention this in my interview. 

My dove, Wooda, lived with me for nearly 19 years

until she died in 2006. 

I smuggled her on the plane to come to my wedding. 

At this exact moment I am in Uruguay

drinking Turkish coffee

made by Jonathan’s uncle Jorge. 

It is delicious.

I use SquareSpace software to manage SeaBird Chronicles.

Nettica provides the hosting.

I highly recommend both.
