New to the Blogosphere: EconomistMom.com

Diane Lim Rogers -- formerly of the House Budget Committee, now Chief Economist for the Concord Coalition -- has just launched EconomistMom.com. The site officially debuts (fittingly) on Mother's Day, with an op-ed that's running in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Diane is a new friend and I've been helping her get up to speed online, so I'm a bit biased, but I think EconomistMom.com is on its way to being a great blog. The push for fiscal responsibility -- already being made by CRFB, New America's Fiscal Policy Program, the blogging trio at Capital Gains & Games and others -- needs as many strong voices as it can get. And the challenge of striking a good work-life balance is something that looms ever larger for me these days, so Diane's approach -- carving out a niche "where analytical rigor meets a mother's intuition" -- is doubly appealing.

Check out her first two posts, and I think you'll agree.
