About Us
Them 3...
Them 3 and Me has very humble beginnings. Named after my 3 daughters (the them) and of course, myself (the me), the company first started as an instagram page. The goal was simple. Documenting my life as a stay at home, homeschooling momma. However this idea eventually grew into something so much more. I have always had a passion for writing and as I grew, this passion grew with me. As a mom, I am always coming up with fun stories for my kiddos, so I finally decided to put the stories on paper and take on the task of self publishing.
My first book, Kid De Cuisine: Hadasah’s Breakfast Delights, came about because I was looking for a cookbook for my daughter, that wasn’t just a simple “cooking with mom” book. I wanted her to be the main chef in the kitchen. At the time there wasn’t anything on the market that fit this description. It took a while, but almost 2 years later, I was able to self publish the type of book I as a mom, and others like me, would love to use! After finishing the writing for the cookbook, the floodgates were opened! I then started writing numerous kids books and poems, which includes titles such as: “10 Rockets Blast into Space ” and “From Sand to Sea and Back Again”.
Publishing these books, really kicked off the establishment of Them 3 and Me as a legitimate company. Kid De Cuisine: Hadasah’s Breakfast Delights is the first in a 3 book, cookbook series. One book dedicated to each one of my girls. Of course we still have our Blog and Instagram account to document all of our homeschool adventures, which are filled with activities, free printables and how-to’s. There is so much more to come, so stay tuned for our upcoming clothing line, podcast and other merchandise!
Them 3 and Me is our comfy little corner on the internet. A fun place for any homeschooling stay at home mama or parent who is looking to have a great time with their little one. So if you are looking for cool new ideas, fun crafts, exciting reads and cool merchandise, you have come to the right place! Stay tuned for all of the upcoming awesomeness that we have in store!
... And Me
Chanel grew up in Detroit and adopted a love for writing at an early age. As young as 8 years old she participated in various writing and oratorical contests to hone her skills. As Chanel advanced through school she continued to participate in writing contests, published poems and participated in creative writing programs.
Chanel graduated from the University of Michigan-Dearborn with a double major in Psychology and Criminal Justice and a minor in Communications. She had the dream of pursuing a law career but life took a different turn. Instead, she worked in the social services field, working with underprivileged youth in group homes and independent living programs. Chanel eventually came to the realization that she wanted to reach children much earlier in life. The goal being, to help alleviate some of the issues and problems that plagued the children within, her then, current position. It was at this time Chanel started working at the Georgia Institute of Technology – Child Study Lab, as a research Assistant.
In her position at Georgia Tech, Chanel assisted with research to help in the early detection of Autism and other developmental delays. While working as a research assistant, she was co-author on scholarly articles that were published in journals such as: The Journal of Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, Nature Communications and the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.
At Georgia Tech Chanel also became a co-instructor for the Universities freshman seminar course, for incoming first year students. During this time, she started to pursue her Masters in Public Policy at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, at Georgia State.
Shortly after starting schooling for her Masters Degree, Chanel got married to her husband, Justin Miller. After getting married and having children, her career goals shifted. She put her masters degree on hold and left academia to become a stay at home mom. Once her children grew, she started the blog,Them 3 and Me, where she wrote about life as a stay at home mom who also homeschools. The blog led Chanel to start self publishing her own literary works, the first being, Kid De Cuisine: Hadasah’s Breakfast Delights. Some of her other works include: 10 rockets Blast into Space and From Sand to Sea and Back Again.
