My name is Laura.

SeaBird  AT  SeaBirdChronicles  DOT  com  

This site chronicles my life and interests,
which at the moment include: 
parenting twin kindergarten boys, 
and a toddler,
art/design/craft/food,
life in Miami,
homeschooling,
and perhaps a smattering of securities trading.  

I’m 36, 
Married to Jonathan since 2000, 
with fraternal twin boys Benjamin and Jonah 
born at 34 weeks in January of 2006.

They both had GERD for a year. 
We survived. 

[Could you survive?
Take my short yet surprisingly
accurate quiz to find out now!] 

And our third son (SURPRISE!), Silas,
born at 36 weeks in July of 2009, 
had GERD as well - woo hoo! 

 Thank you, God, for Prevacid!

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,
and creator of SugarChills! 

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.
