In praise of Kristen
This week on Mommybloggers, we are thrilled to introduce you to the incomparable blogger, Kristen of Motherhood Uncensored. Personally, we totally have a crush on her. She is smart, funny and will tell it like it is! If you want to get insight or just a laugh, go visit Kristen because you will find both. She is one of those bloggers that rises above and shows everyone that mommybloggers can rock the Internet.
Kristen is also the co-editor of the fantastic Cool Mom Picks - a fresh and funny source of insider tips on the best products for parenting. But enough of our gushing. Let's let some of her readers tell you what they think of the wonderful Uncensored Kristen.
Lucinda of Suburan Turmoil thinks Kristen is a wonderful choice to feature and was more than happy to tell us how much she adores her:
Kristen is a talented writer who makes me feel like I'm her best girlfriend meeting her for coffee every time I read her blog. She is refreshingly honest without being self-pitying. She has a knack for choosing topics that make mothers think. She is unapologetic about her opinions and best of all, she is hilarious. Beyond all of that, Kristen is a good blog friend, quick to compliment others and to send nice e-mails to show that she cares. Congratulations, Kristen! You deserve this honor!
Hillary Cannon of "...I Drank What?" loves Kristen. In fact, in her words, let's let her count the ways:
Oh my gosh!! HOW do I love Kristen...let me count the ways!Kristen has long been a "real life" idol of mine, who has recently moved into the realm of blog idol. She is an incredibly strong, independent, positive woman who truly sets a great example for other women. She is always
growing, learning, expanding her horizons, her interests and her success and I SO admire her for the ability to be in constant forward (and upward) motion. She has retained her own individualty and her own interests while
embracing motherhood with a grace I can only hope to imitate when I become a mother. I am always interested in what Kristen has to say, and will be looking forward to reading her on your site as well. Congratulations on your
excellent taste and on discovering such an incrediible talent!

The obvious things to say about Kristen are that she is smart and cool and wickedly funny. What is also worth – most worth – saying, however, is that she accomplishes, through her blog and through her online interaction with other parents, something that I would have once upon a time thought impossible: she demonstrates daily that in addition to being smart and cool and funny, she is a good soul. That the Kristen of Motherhood Uncensored is lovable beyond measure is obvious; what is extraordinary is that she is able to make you feel/believe/KNOW that if or when you ever meet her in real life, you’ll find an immeasurably lovable whole person. Who you’re gonna want to have as a good friend.
Nancy of Mom/ Ma'am/ Me jumped up to share with us how cool it would be to gush about Kristen, seeing as she is one of her favorites:
I love Kristen's blog because I never quite know what I'm going to find when I click over to read it each day. It seems like she's willing to tackle almost any topic, and her mix of excellent storytelling and humor makes me hold my breath until I'm finished reading (and then I expel my breath in a fit of laughter and/or tears!) Kristen keeps it real, and that keeps me coming back for more.
We love her. Her readers love her. Check back later today to read Kristen's interview and fall in love, too!

You girls are sooooo nice. I'm totally in shock and I'm printing this out to carry in my wallet.
For real.

Kristen rocks. I still remember the first post of hers that I read, and I loved what she said so much that I began reading her regularly after that. She never disappoints.

Let's hear it for mamas who speak their mind, and speak the truth. You deserve the spotlight, Kristen. You're a gem.

Here here!!!!
As my first out-of-blog contact, I can assure you she's everything you think she is from her blog. (In a good way. Shut up, trolls.) I'm inspired by her every day. She deserves all the love and attention she gets and more. Like cash. Send her some cash. That way she can hire a little more childcare and spend a little more time blogging.

I'd like to think I "discovered" Kristen...lol
I nominated her for the very first Crazy Hip Blog Mamas "Member of the Week" because I saw in her something that I and many others could relate to. While I've never met her in person, I can say with the utmost confidence that she is a kind person with a big heart. I'm very happy I clicked on a "Rent My Blog" thing and found her and I actually consider her much more than a fellow blogger.
I consider her my friend :)

All true, all true! A funny and stylish woman and a great blogger to boot. What more could you ask for?
