		<description>ha ha ha. I got here by googling &quot;influential mom blogs&quot; so that&#039;s something. Also, in my defense, I wasn&#039;t around for your tweet for help, nor would I have known what to say.

If you do solve the mystery, I&#039;m all eyes.

		<description>Oh, I think you got your blog braces off a long time ago. And when I throw an exclusive VIP blogger event, you&#039;ll be on the top of my super elite list.

		<description>You know, this is something I ask myself everyday. How influential am I? It would be nice to pretend that you don&#039;t care about what others think, and only &quot;blog for yourself&quot; but it&#039;s not true at all. I try to keep my reader in mind, but always stay true to myself during the process. I wonder how PR decides how/when to pick a blogger. How popular do I have to be? Bottom line, I know how you feel!</description>

		<description>Hey wait - 
You got invited to that cool Nikon camera party at BlogHer - remember?  With the limos and no babies allowed?  You are apparently more popular than me (look at all your commenters!) and I actually won a BLOG AWARD in 2008.
I was the best blogger in Buffalo, NY in 2008.
And I have like 10 readers.  And one of them is my mom.  The other is my sister.
So buck up!

		<description>Okay, so clearly, I&#039;m spending far too much time here lately. And judging from the other comments, I&#039;d say other gals do too. So you are influential - and I&#039;m sure soon, you&#039;ll get invited on one of those trips.

		<description>Your&#039;e not influential? Then what am I doing here, wasting my time? 
Serousy, I love your blog. If I were at all influential,  I would tell everyone to read it.
On our site, writing about the Gosselins always gets massive amounts of traffiic and Michael Jackson&#039;s kids were reliable fodder for awhile, but we&#039;re affiliated w/ a big news site so don&#039;t know how much that would work for other mommy bloggers.
You should also pester reporters in your area if you haven&#039;t already and offer yourself up as a mom pundit. They won&#039;t realize you&#039;re not influential. Just pretend.</description>
