In Praise of Busy Mom

It's Monday. You know what that means here at Mommybloggers. A new featured blogger! This week's blogger is none other than the one and only Busy Mom! Her name says it all. Her writing can be both witty and touching. Her kindness knows no limits. In fact, many bloggers tell us that she is one of the first bloggers they read who made them feel welcomed and appreciated.

Whether she is writing about soccer or singing at work, the Busy Van or life as part of the Sandwich Generation, she has appeal that reaches far and wide. We put a call out for Busy Mom testimonials and were overwhelmed with the response. We wanted to share all of them, but there is no way we could. Without a doubt, our suspicions were confirmed: Busy Mom is definitely a well-loved blogger. An admired woman for sure. But enough about what we think about her. This is what a few of her readers had to share with about her:

Buzz the blogger formerly known as Buzz from Buzzstuff.net was thrilled to come out of the depths on the non-blogging world to praise our beloved Busy Mom. When asked about her, he eagerly replied:

BusyMom is one of the special ones. She is one of those bloggers who can make you feel like you've known her all your life. Funny, insightful, wise, and most importantly to us loyal readers, interesting. What do you like to read when you visit someone's site? Super-secret family stuff? Yeah, she's got that. A funny observation on the state of the world? Yeah, she's got that. A silly joke or two? Yeah, she's got that. Tips on how to get the most out of your shopping dollars at Target? Yep, she's even got that. And on top of all this, she's nice. I mean genuinely nice. And like I said before, I feel like I've known her all my life. And I'm richer for it.

Karen of Four Kids and a Dog immediately raised her hand to tell the mommybloggers of her devotion and adoration of Busy Mom:

BusyMom makes me laugh. I first ran across her when I began my blog last year and surfed BlogExplosion. When I tired of BE, BusyMom was one of the few blogs from there that I kept on my reading list. I can always count on her for something that makes me smile or wonder if she's planted a bug in my house somewhere.

Even though we had to wait until after he went to see Harry Potter, we were very excited to get the scoop on Busy Mom from Solonor , a blogger who has actually experienced his very own in-person Busy Mom sighting. He had this to share with us:

When I finally met her in person last April, I recognized her instantly (and not just from the "soccer mom" sticker on the back of her van). We went to see "Kicking and Screaming", because if there's one thing she doesn't get enough of, it's kicking and screaming. After that, we went to dinner with a couple of my co-workers who thought we must be related (or at least had known each other for years). I think this was mostly because of the deep respect we showed to one another ("Ow! Quit hitting! You started it!").

Busy Mom is exactly the same person in person that she presents to the blogging world in third person. She is funny (and not just looking), and she is one of the bestest people I have ever attempted to call friend.

Lauren of Life is Just Ducky couldn't wait to tell us why she adores Busy Mom:

She never fails to find the positive in any situation. Her outlook on life in general is hilarious. Yet, even when life throws her a fast curve she is right there with her wit and her humor to get through it. I can't tell you how long I have been reading her because I have been reading her for that long. She is a joy to read and I make sure to check her blog at least once a day. In short, she is a great read and I absolutely love reading her blog.

The infamous mommy known in the blogosphere only as cmhl of the ever popular Crouching Mommy, Hidden Laundry shared with us part of the reason she admires Busy Mom and keeps coming back for more:

Busymom is one of my daily reads, if for no other reason than to see if any more trees have fallen on Vanna White! She is an excellent writer, and always humorous and inspiring--- plus, I love her hometown...

A relatively new kid on the block, Scott Goldblatt Home of the Parental Olympian, made a great move when he sought out another parent blogger trying to manage their way through this crazy parental jungle and found Busy Mom. He shares this with us:

Busy Mom, what's to say, except that she's busy, busy, busy - with keeping us entertained at our house on a daily basis. I "met" Busy Mom only a few months ago. While being broken into this game called parenting, I decided to find other bloggers who were in the same situation. There was Busy Mom to save the day. Whether the topic is about her family, current events, humor, or anything else she may come up with (though sometimes there are only 84 of them). Day in and day out, she keeps us laughing. I thank her for that as she is an inspiration.

These are just a few of the things Busy Mom's readers had to say about her. We wish we could feature every comment. But, we know you want to hear from Busy Mom herself. So, be sure to check back here later today for our interview with her. It was fun to to kick back and dish with her. She is has a wit that makes you want to keep coming back for more! So, y'all come on back!

I really thought they said BUSTY Mom...

Oh, well, then that's entirely different...

Well, I totally suck, because the powers that be behind the curtain here at mommybloggers totally asked for my input and I totally blew off the e-mail until it was too late so although I love Busy Mom like a sister (well, more than, since you can't have THOSE kinda thoughts about your sister, unless you are like Luke Skywalker or something) I didn't get on the praisy train and now they'll never ask me again.

*sniff*
