In Praise of Jennster

Mommybloggers is proud to feature the lovely and hilarious Jennster, of Jennster.com. We first met this free-wheeling mommyblogger at BlogHer in 2006, and were instantly drawn in by her infectious laugh and outrageous sense of humor. Okay, well, we were a little scared first, but THEN we were ready to commit to matching tattoos, so great was our admiration. In searching for a photo to run with this entry, we struggled to find one of Jennster alone - this girl knows how to have a good time, and is apparently surrounded with laughter and friends at all time.

With her forthright writing style and irreverent take on everything from wedding plans to parenting, Jennster is a authentic individual. Never mundane, Jennster keeps her readers coming back with hilarious entries and great photographs. We just adore her. And we knew her readers would have plenty to add to our praise -

Mieke thinks Jennster rocks -

What can I say about Jennster? She is one of the very first bloggers I found, and was instantly "hooked". I love her no-nonsense and the way she just puts her feelings out there. I can really relate to a lot of the things she talks about. She is also incredibly hilarious and when she posts pictures you will see what I mean! I love reading her posts! Jennster Rocks!
Kristen from Motherhood Uncensored thinks Jennster is cool -
Jennster is the kind of blogger where you just don't know what you're going to get, but whatever it is, it's awful tasty. She can go from crazy pics of herself at a work party, to thoughtful posts about mothering. She's definitely the queen of the unexpected. And she doesn't use caps. If that's not cool, then I don't know what is.

Mary Tsao of Mom Writes sees Mieke's "rocks" and raises -

Jennster is one of the funniest and most honest bloggers I know. She's just a fun and a nice person and her posts clearly reflect those facts. For some reason, I'm bummed that I never got the chance to live with her in the dorms, even though she's probably ten years younger than I am and I have no idea where she went to school. I just think she would be a really fun roommate. I'm so glad I got the chance to meet her at last year's BlogHer conference. She rocks!

Marsha, the very enthusiastic blogger behind sweatpantsmom gets all up in the spirit with her praise -

How can you NOT like someone who has the balls to put an exclamation point (!) at the end of their name? In fact, before I started reading Jennster!'s blog I was definitely more of a period (.) person, or even a question mark (?)

But her enthusiasm is catching! Her love for her son and her fiancé is apparant in every post she writes!! Even when she writes about having unanatural feelings about her wedding cake, it's with an underlying spirit that just makes you want to hit that exclamation point key!!!!!!!

Love you Jennster!

Beth's praise arrived after we published, but we're adding it in now -

I enjoy reading her blog because of the humor, obviously, about everyday things. something could happen to her that could be really horrible, but she'll put a crazy spin on it and get a laugh out of it. Like recently, she was talking about how she doesn't fit in with the other moms at her kid's school....and I feel the same way! It's nice to know that you're not the only crazy person feeling this way, ya know?

I think she's great.

Be sure to check back later this afternoon as we post our interview with the fantastic Jennster!

um. i love you guys- even if you put a picture up that makes me look like one giant freckle! LOL

this is so awesome and THANK YOU!!!

Jennster rules the world.

I had never heard of Jennster til BlogHerCon last year and she is FUNNY! Totally nice and VERY FUNNY.

Jennster was one of my first commenters ever and I remember thinking, "Hmmm, this girl is absolutely crazy. How wonderfully refreshing!" In the year since I've loved getting to know her better and I know I'm always in for a laugh when I go to her blog. She definitely brings something unique to mothers, blogging and the Internet!

I heart you, 'Ster!

Jennster is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. I adore her!

Jennster's one of my most favorite blog friends and even though she never comes around anymore, I still love (and MISS) her and I so wish she was going to Blogher :)
