About Me
I am excessively diverted!

LIVE from Northern Virginia... I am a perpetually distracted, disorganized and diverted (ala Jane Austen), homeschooling, blogging, literature-loving, flute-playing, artsy-fartsy, caffeinated geekmum of 3 daughters, two of whom have graduated from our family homeschool and are making their own ways in the world - one as a wife and mom - the other as a college student. Thankfully, I wasn't completely inept as their teacher as they have grown to be verbally coherent, socially responsible, respectful, respectable, non-criminal participants in our community (they can also read, write and do a little 'rithmetic!). My youngest dd is still at home and learning under my tutelage for several more years, so I still have time to really mess her up. ;-) Just kidding. As I said, I'm a VERY BLESSED mum to my own 3 daughters and grandmum to 3 granddaughters, as well. Does it get any better than this?! My girls and I also share a passion for historic preservation, specifically 18th century colonial Virginia history. We are historic interpreters at two historic sites, portraying a local midwife (mois!) and an apothecary's apprentice, as well a young gentry lady. We do first-person interpreting which is akin to acting in an interactive play. We work in character (and attempt to stay that way) as we converse with our 21st century visitors. It is challenging, but fun. The best part is seeing visitors get excited about history when they experience it portrayed this way. :-) You can also find me at geekmum.com, pixeldiner.com and other woefully neglected blogs.
