FIFTY-SOMETHING MOMS AND I’M ONE OF THEM!

Fifty_something_buttonThis is really exciting.  Silicon Valley Moms has launched a Fifty-Something Moms blog and I’m honored to be one of them.  Although it’s been around for a while, the site’s OFFICIAL launch is today.  I’ve only posted twice so far, once on being a "fake grandparent" and once on  childbirth for us in the First World versus for women in developing nations but hope to post at least once every two weeks.  There are plenty of lovely posts already so have a look.  I’ll be mentioning posts from this sister blog as we move forward.  It really is an exciting project – as are the other blogs that share the franchise –  Silicon Valley Moms Blog, Chicago Moms Blog, DC Metro Moms Blog, New York City Moms Blog and New Jersey Moms Blog, with a Deep South Moms Blog launching soon.  So get over there.  Now!

What are the odds?  I spent what would have been my prime mommy-blogging years, before the Interweb was anyone’s darling, working at CBS News at 524 West 57th St.  Now, some of my sweet, funny mommy blogging friends went through the same door I used every day for 7 years to meet with Katie Couric.  Here’s what happened:

Pretty cool, huh?  My 9 years at TODAY never crossed with Katie and clearly my CBS years were the "Place to Be" years, well before hers but it sure was fun to see the girlfriends sashay on in and charm her to pieces.  But then, that’s what they do.
