The only testimonial I’ll ever need: “I don’t really know shit about blogging, but I do know that I love this goddamn blog.” Zakary

5/2012 - Was interviewed on ABC News {dot} com about my kids' participation in MMA, which is one of the best parental decisions I ever made, truly. 

Babble named me the #4 funniest mom on Twitter in 2011. They also like my blog a little.

See mom, I told you saying fuck all the fucking time on the internet would motherfucking pay off someday.

Related: John Cave Osborne wrote a lovely piece at Babble’s Strollerderby blog wherein he said ridiculously nice and not totally untrue things about my blog and my writing style , and I didn’t even have to show him my boobies to get him to write it.

*No, I am not sleeping with anyone at Babble

2011: Sexiest Dad Bloggers, #25. That’s right, folks, I’m on the only list anyone ever needs to be on, so there. Now I can quit blogging. (and apparently, it’s caused enough of a stir to land me on She Posts. I gots your Controversial Blogger right here. )

2010: Klout called me “influential” once. I think they meant I am like the Influenza, but still, it was nice.

2009 ish - Was quoted in the Wall Street Journal and interviewed on CBC radio, but can I find the links? Yeah. I can't even find my car keys.
