We are proud to introduce you to our friend Stefania Pomponi Butler. Stefania is an unabashed, prolific blogger, with four sites currently featuring her work: CityMama, Family Food, Kimchi Mamas, and Contributing Editor, Arts/Entertainment, BlogHer.

We adore Stefania's take-no-prisoners look at life. With her keen eye for observation, and her sharp wit, Stefania takes on a variety of subject - parenting, urban life, pop culture, cultural identity and world events with equal aplomb. Not one to mince words, she doles out praise and throws down rants that leave her readers nodding admiringly and keeps them coming back for more.

From her eagle-eyed and timely contributions to BlogHer's Arts and Entertainment roundup, to her thought-provoking essays on Korean culture at Kimchi Mamas, we are in awe of Stefania's ability to bring it, day after day. We were delighted to meet her in person, and quickly realized that her City Mama tagline - "Mama ain't raisin' no fool" suits her to a tee. Warm, witty, and well-spoken, Stefania tells it like it is, and we just can't get enough.

We asked a few of her readers to tell us about Stefania's impact - and we were flooded with praise. Take a look:

Charlene Prince Birkeland at crazedparent loves a fellow celebrity gossip pro -

I started reading CityMama when Stefania lived in Portland and was immediately hooked because she 's just this sassy straightshooter. And how lucky am I that of all the places she had to move, she ended up in the Bay Area near me. I met her "in real life" about six months ago and was even more impressed, awed and inspired by her. The best, though, is that I can dish celebrity gossip with her and not feel a single ounce of guilt for admitting what I know...because she knows the same thing!!

Lisa Stone of BlogHer | Surfette finds Stefania fabulous:

Slaps me across the face with her keyboard as she fabulously, unapologetically rolls her eyes at what shouldn't be going on in the world. The reason Stefania's writing is so good, I think, is because she me makes me howl at the same time I'm nodding at my screen and uh-HUHing her. Turns out that Britney and Mel don't need parents anymore -- CityMama's in town and she nails them both. She's prolific on many sites, but I have to give her special kudos for Kimchi Mamas; an important blog that does a brilliant job hosting many voices exploring "what it means to be Korean (or married to one)." I hope she keeps writing after her gorgeous kids turn into models and make her a kazillionaire.

Nonlineargirl found more than a blog - she found a friend:

I started reading Citymama after I had my daughter. I loved that she was writing about in living in a city (at the time, my city) with kids. Her blog-style is very welcoming and friendly, qualities that help explain her strong following. When I met her in person I learned that she is also this way in real life; she offered to put me up if I come to SF to see my sister.

MetroDad brings it on home with his glowing praise:

Stefania is like my long-lost, half-Korean, pop-culture-obsessed, food-loving Seoul sister. Seriously, some day we’re going to find out that our ancestors were best friends who spent their days together critiquing cavemen drawings and trying to find the perfect spice to go with grilled Mastodon. Like many of you, I absolutely love and adore her. She’s an incredibly honest and open writer who captures the highs and lows of life with humor, grace, and dignity. She’s never afraid to speak her mind or share herself with her readers. But, in my opinion, the thing that comes across the most with Stefania is love; her love for her husband, her two adorable daughters, her family, and all of her friends. Her ability to express this love on her site is what makes her special and what keeps me coming back on a daily basis (that, and of course, her weekly critiques of Rockstar Supernova!)
