First time blogger!

Well here it goes, I'm a stay at home mom bored out of my friggin mind and so I've decided to take this time (while my kids are young) to do things that I might not necessarily have time for later in life. Although I'm not keen on sharing my identity on the internet, I can tell you one thing, it rhymes with Shashmika.  I defended my thesis in chemistry while I was 37 weeks pregnant and went from a full time student to a stay at home mom. It was a shock, I've never had more respect for pregnant women or stay at home moms, let me tell you, it sucks. I love my kids to death, but sometimes I just want to pee in private.  When the kiddos are in bed, that's my time to get lost in the world of science and diy!  Of course like many people out there, I fell in love with pinterest on first "site" (haha get it?) and entered the world of diy. Who knew you could re-upholster your own chair instead of just buying a new one. Okay maybe everyone knew that, but pinterest just opened my eyes.  However, after a year of staying home with my daughter, I decided I missed that intellectual stimulation that graduate school had provided and began teaching for an after school extracurricular program teaching science and math. It's been an absolute joy, I feel like I'm having my cake and eating it too.  I get to work a few times a week, an hour and a half at a time and then I come home and have the rest of the day with my kids. This way, I spend the majority of my time with my family but I get to go and use my mad science skilllzzzzzz! Anywho, I plan to blog about the science experiments I am teaching and share the protocol and procedures with everyone. Also, I plan to share my diy creations, and how I went about doing it.  I promise I'll share the ones that didn't quite work out as well :)
