I was pretty much past the hands-on mothering stage by the time I entered my PhD program in 2003 as my kids were almost grown and one was already out of the house.
But I remain interested in the stories of PhD holders and students, especially those who share the joys and burdens of motherhood, so I was pleased to see the launch of a new blog within Inside Higher Ed, Mama PhD in which seven women blog about balancing motherhood with academic careers.



Thanks so much for the link! I've been browsing around on your blog, it's fascinating.
