Hi there! I’m Maricar, wife to a wonderful husband, stay-at-home mommy to a happy little boy (who will soon have a brother), scrapbooker, scientist-on-hold and writer-in-the-making.
Professionally, I’m a plant scientist by training, with a Master’s Degree in Plant Breeding and Genetics. I’ve worked in the academe since I finished college, in both instruction and research. My single biggest hobby these days is scrapbooking (did I say that already?). I’ve also dabbled in cross-stitching, which I would like to go back to doing someday, in addition to crocheting and knitting and sewing… someday, someday…
For now, blogging is letting me explore and develop as a writer. My first professional blog was AboutWeblog’s Housekeeping and Homemaking Blog, now called Keeping the Castle under b5media. I’m also a contributor at The 80s Club and editor of my personal project Mom@Home.
