ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Caroline Hoppe and I live in Pawleys Island, SC with my husband (Jeff) and daughter (Norah.) We also have two dogs, Darcy and Benny, who are named after the book characters Mr. Darcy and Bennett (both from Pride and Prejudice.) Jeff and I met in April 2002, married in November 2004, and had Norah in June 2007. We moved from Charlotte, NC to Pawleys Island, SC in the summer of 2012.

I started this blog in 2010 as a personal scrapbook to keep my pictures and memories in one spot. I wish I had started it sooner! There are a ton of grammatical errors and over usage of the ..., but I warned everyone with the first post that I write as I think and never worried about those details. So if those things will drive ya crazy...you have been warned. 

I graduated from Clemson University in 1999 with a degree in Financial Management. After working in the finance/insurance/legal field for 10 years, I had my precious Norah and stayed home for a bit. Then I went back to school and received my graduate certificate in Teaching Middle School Mathematics. I worked in school in Charlotte and Pawleys Island for 4 years before deciding to stay at home again to be with Norah more. After a year at home...I knew I wanted to get back into working again but needed the perfect schedule. I was lucky enough to get a job at a preschool where I worked 8:30 am to 12 pm each school day so I was able to still have time for Norah and her activities. Then I briefly went back to teaching middle school math for a little over a year in the mist of the Pandemic. Now I work at a public high school in the virtual lab so I can balance family life, getting my Masters Degree, handling everything involving my mother who suffers from Dementia, and still try to have a life too!

For my reading and personal life, I use my Instagram account @carolinehoppereads so head there for the latest!
