Four Tuesdays have passed since my last Forum column. With my latest turn, I’ve taken up the subject of how I learned more about the depths of a mother’s heart from a house finch named Franny. Above are photos from my brief time with Franny and her babies. Read about Franny here: http://www.in-forum.com/columnists/ (Hint: you’ll have to scroll down the list of columnists to find me.)
Previously published column articles from the Forum’s “Parenting Perspectives” pages can be found here, including my first three and those of the other columnists: http://www.in-forum.com/collections/index.cfm?collection=parenting. So far, I’ve covered depression, breastfeeding and the sighting of a laundry critter.
Fly high in your parenting this week!
What a beautiful story. I found your blog after reading your column in The Forum. I am enjoying it so much! I too, have recently started a blog. I find it therapeutic, even if no one reads it. As a new (and very proud) mom, it’s wonderful to read about your adventures with five. I am looking forward to purchasing your books. Thank you!

Marie,
How fun to find your sweet comment. It’s feedback like this, knowing others have been inspired and encouraged, that makes the writing life so rewarding. I would love to read your blog. I’ll try to find it. Perhaps we can swap links.
Also, congrats on new motherhood. You have many thrilling (and a few exasperating too) adventures ahead. All the best to you as you continue to embark on this amazing journey of parenthood.
