If you missed the segment, you can watch it here! And read our interviewer, Janet Shamlian's, blog entry. She rocks! Off to enjoy birthday fun with the kids.
Updated for like the 3rd time: Okay. The word is that we're on at the top of, the 10am EST with Heather on at 10:30am talking to Kathie Lee of all people. If that's not worth watching, I don't know what is.
Set your tivos, people. The Today Show segment I shot last month is set to run tomorrow morning -- May 7 -- (unless Miley Cyrus decides to show her naked back or something MAJOR BIG TIME like that). I have no idea when it's on during the show nor am I sure why I'm telling everyone (except because I'm an ambivalent media whore), but I'll update on Twitter and here tomorrow.
It just so happens to be airing on my 32nd birthday. Let's hope that's a good omen!
I just watched the segment on YouTube and had to pop in and let you know how fabulous you looked. Content and verbage aside, you looked like one hot mama.
Congratulations on the major press hit!

I loved the Today show segment - nice work! Mom bloggers are amazing. And if you'd ever like a male perspective, drop by my blog. I'm a single dad offering stories and tips about parenting and relationships formed in an age of online dating, text messaging, friends with benefits, hookups, and booty calls. I'm also raising a teen, so my own modern experiences are hopefully preparing me for the worst! LOL. Even if you're not single, voyeurs are welcome... And I will continue lurking here (I can't exactly comment on waxing before delivery types of posts.)

OMG, OMFG, I can't believe you mentioned The Duck Incident!!! HAHAHAH!
You could've at least dropped my URL. Clearly you're still going to hell. :)
This is as close as I will ever get to 15 minutes of fame.

Who the hell is Kathie Lee expressing concern over Heather's daughter's safety! She used to parade her kids all over the damn place on national TV. What a dingbat.
You were great...I loved your interview.
Posted by: Jill | May 09, 2008 at 01:17 PM
At least, when interviewing successful bloggers, you'd think they'd get someone other than Kathie Lee to chime in. Seriously. Do you think they'd ask Perez Hilton to interview soldiers about the war? Your segment with Janet was great, but poor Heather stuck with Kathie Lee. How ineloquent can one get?
Happy Belated Birthday!!
Posted by: Kelly | May 09, 2008 at 08:40 AM
It was awesome to see you on TV. You looked great. Plus it made me feel cool that I read a blog that was featured on the Today Show.
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Man I can't stand KLG! How the heck did she get a job there???
Great interview!!! CONGRATS! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Posted by: MommyMoments | May 08, 2008 at 01:20 PM
Kathie Lee is a tool. You ladies made her squirm, and that made my day.
Good job on the interview! Happy Birthday!
Posted by: imaginary binky | May 08, 2008 at 02:00 AM
And oh yes, HAPPPPPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Posted by: Julia | May 07, 2008 at 11:09 PM
So, how funny would it be if KLG was a reader now and saw all of these comments about how much she annoyed the shit out of all of us!? =) The interview was great (with the exception of KLG). I'm super happy for you. Thanks for making me laugh each day.
Posted by: Julia | May 07, 2008 at 11:08 PM
Just want to say how proud I was of you today, especially when you said that you didn't give the duck back. That was just so awesome! Made my day. I was pleased with the way your segment played out... KLGifford... well, she made me sick. Dooce was awesome, but I just want to say, Kathy, is this journalism? How are you helping us?
Posted by: susiej | May 07, 2008 at 10:26 PM
You were wonderful in the interview! Thanks for speaking up for us Mommy Bloggers.
So glad I found your blog, hadn't been here before seeing the interview.
I love your honesty!
My blog is on single momminess if you're interested.

I saw the segment (on another blog). You looked beautiful. I was so impressed by all of you.
(Kathie Lee could go back into retirement, though, and I doubt anyone would mind. Or notice.)
Happy Birthday!
Posted by: Jennifer H | May 07, 2008 at 09:25 PM
Kristen, wonderful piece. Thanks for sharing it with all of us at BlogTalkRadio.
Posted by: Luke Armour | May 07, 2008 at 09:02 PM
Happy Birthday! You looked fab! It was fun to actually see you talk and not just imagine what you sound like.
Posted by: Luann | May 07, 2008 at 08:34 PM
Is this what birthdays are for? Looking fabu-sexy on television with hair that is The Awesome? Sure, you had to share it with that TOOL who interviewed Heather, but your segment was really good and I kept pointing at you on the screen and saying to Mallory, "Look! Her! I know her!"
She was nonplussed. But she said your hair rocked. Apparently, we're all about the hair.
Posted by: Mocha | May 07, 2008 at 06:27 PM
Great appearance on the show - you're rockin' the TV wires lately.
Posted by: Ken | May 07, 2008 at 04:42 PM
Happy Birthday!
Loved that you owned up to the sex blogging.
I sure hope your inlaws didn't find out about your appearance on the show. Then they'd know about your blog - I'd hate to miss out on future posts on them. :)
Really don't like Kathy Lee - what a loser she is!
Posted by: Lindsee | May 07, 2008 at 04:31 PM
first - happy bday :)
second - kathie lee really is a dork.
third - you looked awesome!!
seriously i am way impressed :)
and blogosphere?? come on!!
Posted by: amanda | May 07, 2008 at 04:21 PM
You looked good! Boo to Kathie Lee and her obvious ignorance. Yeah for mommy bloggers everywhere!
Posted by: Karen | May 07, 2008 at 03:06 PM
Happy Birthday! You were great in your interview, and you looked gorgeous!
Posted by: Sara | May 07, 2008 at 02:58 PM
I liked the segment, but I AM SO OVER the "Ohh... I'm so not into computers. What is a blog? How do you turn those dang computers on anyway?" UGH. Kathy Lee is an IDIOT and her little snide comments to Heather was ridiculous. Seriously, I think Kathy Lee's brain is made of pudding.
Posted by: Katie | May 07, 2008 at 02:45 PM
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!
We Taurus gals need to stick together.
Loved you on the show.
My favorite part? When asked, "Do any of you blog about sex?".....you were all over it. You rock!

First, Happy birthday!! The show looked great. I was sitting there, fast forwarding through all the freaking weather segments, vice president house crap and stuff and FINALLY found you guys! I said to my kids, "Oooh! I kinda, sorta know them!! In a Reeeeeeallly roundabout way..."
:) Good job. Love that you talked about the dang duck.

West coast time and just got a chance to watch. You guys did great and looked beautiful.
I think we all agree that Kathie Lee was a bit out of line....oh well....we know mommy bloggers ROCK!
Posted by: Christine | May 07, 2008 at 01:43 PM
Hi,
I'm watching you guys on Kathy Lee, and I think the work you're doing--opening up a venue for moms to talk honestly about their lives--is incredibly important.
My book is also about motherhood--How to Sleep Alone in a King Size Bed is a memoir of how I went from married mom to single mom (out just last momth from Crown).
I also have a blog about being a divorced mom at www.theonestor.com
Keep on blogging!

hi, i read here everyday, as well as mominatrix-loved that do you blog about sex question, or more specifically your answer-"i do"
you looked great. kathie lee has always struck me as ummm a little left of center, poor dooce! i wish they would just air a whole interview instead of snippets, i know how much you lovely intelligent ladies have to say!
Posted by: ali | May 07, 2008 at 01:31 PM
I don't really have a comment, I just felt like Coming On Your Blogosphere.
