AMEN! That was Kari’s introduction post — she’s now doing an ongoing column on GeekMom. I especially liked her affirmations for a working mother.
LIKE LIKE LIKE! Kari Byron is my HERO! This just multiplies that by, like, a million! Thanks for sharing!
I love Kari. She’s realistic and really amazing. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for posting this. I have been a fan of Kari for a while.
Love her on Mythbusters and I think she is a good role model for Offbeat Mamas!
