Welcome to the blogosphere, Catherine!
One of my favorite parenting writers, Catherine Newman, has written the final entry in her weekly Babycenter journal, Bringing up Ben and Birdy, and a bittersweet, golden entry it is. She has always inspired me with her conversational humor, her touch of melodrama, and her ability and willingness to describe both the pathos and the ecstasy of motherhood.
Thankfully, she'll continue writing a column called Dalai Mama for Wondertime and some bits for Oprah and FamilyFun magazines. There's her book, Waiting For Birdy, for those of you who want a nice, long drag. And, (hooray!), she's just started a blog. If anyone's voice is made-to-order for blogging, it's hers.
Welcome to the blogosphere, Catherine! So happy we're neighbors! Drop by if you need a cup of sugar!
There's always room for one more great writer. I'll mix the pitcher of bloodies...

My 40 something friend who is trying to conceive again is reading this book and cracks up out loud in grad school class while she sneaks a read of it. I'll have to check it out.

I recently started reading the Dalai Mama column at Wondertime and love it - I didn't even realize she had a journal at BabyCenter. I think I'll save that for a day when I need some good reading. In the meantime, I'm loving her blog. Thanks Asha!
