If you're following this blog by email, first of all:

Hello!  Thank you *so much* for following!  It's both humbling and exciting to know that people are reading my writing... I hope I can keep it interesting, even as I attempt to keep this blog true to its original purpose of documenting my family's life (and recipes).

Anyway, if you are following by email, I just wanted to invite you to "like" my new Facebook page, "Married to Medicine Blog."  I'm experimenting with having a page because:

1. It's a pain in the butt to "comment" on Blogger posts; I'd love to see more comments and what I'd really love is to see discussions.  This "former" lawyer loves and needs discussions!
2. There are lots of things I'd love to share with my readers beyond my own blog entries.  For example, my friend Dani's amazing series on what drew her to home birth and what turned her away.  Seriously - if you have any interest in childbirth you won't be able to put this down; and
3. Along those lines, I'd love for my readers to share things with me.  Whether it's a good debunking of pseudoscience, a good food find, or anything else fascinating (like this), post it!
4. I have no clue how many people follow me by email.  It could be 5 or it could be 500.  It's very strange to write a post and have no idea if your audience is just a few close friends or if it's pretty broad.  I'd love to get a better idea.

So consider this your invitation to "like" my Facebook page.  No pressure of course!  Just experimenting over here.  And a huge thanks again to all of you who do follow by email.  This blog has been a really neat outlet for me during some slightly rough spouse-in-medical-training times!

Sincerely,
Lisa
