My LJ is mostly about two things: my SCA stuff (medieval reenactment - see SCA.org for more info) and my family. I am married to a great guy (Owyn), have twin toddler daughters, R&D, (born Spring '06), and a newborn son, E, (born Summer '08). I used to teach HS Biology, but now I'm homeschooling our kids and trying to get our house in better shape.
In the SCA, I run the A&S 50 Challenge, which you can find out more about at our official website (artsandsciences50.org). I enjoy lots of Arts and Science stuff (textiles, woodworking, period technology, and C&I), and sometimes even get to actually DO some. Current research is mostly around early period garments for pregnancy and nursing; not just constructing pieces that work for modern families, but also looking at extant garments, and how they may have been utilized throughout a woman's reproductive lifetime.
