Bloggin & Popcorn

One really cool mom, author & blogger that I love reading is Catherine Newman. She wrote, "Waiting for Birdy..." which I still think of & grin at how much fun that was to read & how I found her writing, when I too was waiting. I remember feeling like she wrote so eloquently what I felt as a new mom.. I think it was an article she wrote when Jack was a baby, babycenter emails maybe, I can't remember, but I'm so glad I found her writing. She's definately one of those moms I admire virtually. She even has her own recipe spot over at http://family.go.com/blog/catherinewman/maple-rosemary-popcorn-1008185/
Her blog is even better www.benandbirdy.blogspot.com.

I've been trying to think of some homemade gift giving ideas.. & this recipe Catherine posted for "maple rosemary popcorn" sounds delicious! I'm also hoping I can pull off the pretzel bark..yum. It' s funny how the world of blogging opens up so many avenues to finding people you enjoy..people you wished you actually lived near, maybe even on the same street, you could just walk over & see their lives up close without peeking into their windows. Some bloggers I wonder if I will outgrow or read until we are old & gray..drifting in & out of our lives without our kids to document, but maybe grandkids to blog about by then. But blogging will be so old-fashioned, something filed alongside mixed cassette tapes. Will the cycle of technology & recording all our thoughts so publicly spiral into everyone disconnecting their computers & actually writing in their old scratchy diary hidden beneath their mattress. Hmmmm, I dont know, but I'll still have this yummy popcorn recipe to whip up. I'll let you know how it turns out.
