Laurie O'connell:  

Life hey everyone! OK, so i have no idea what I'm doing here, so bear with me. I am absolutely computer spastic. Well since the big graduation from WVRHS I've earned an associates degree from good old SCCC. I've taught nursery school on and off over the years. For abut 11 years I was a private nanny for the same family. In August of 2000 I got married (Roxanne Van Acker was there-she's married to my cousin, as is Carl Ross-well not the same cousin, but you understand). My husband, Peter, and I had our first of FOUR children November 2001 and I've basically cranked one out every year or so since! After Dominic was born and my nanny job was coming to an end we made the decision to let Dad be the breadwinner and I became a stay at home mom. Hands down the best decision I ever made. As some of you may know I do work at the Newton Walmart on the weekends, at the courtesy desk, mainly to give my crazy life some much needed adult interaction. We have Dominic, age 6, Peter Jr ( i lost a bet), he'll be 5 in March, Kaitlyn (supreme ruler of all male family members), turning 4 in Feb. and the "angel" of the family, Matthew, who will be 2 in January. Peter and I lived in Scenic Lakes at the begining of our marriage however we made the move over the bridge into Dingmans Ferry 2 weeks after baby #2 came. Let's face it, as much as I love New Jersey, you just can't raise a family on one income there...Expand for more
