wow! So this is even worse that it’s a family member! Not yours thankfully, but I’ll tell you,you are a class act! You conduct yourself & your words like a true lady! I’m again so sorry you have to endure this. But to go to the lighter side for a moment…..my sons & any one that comes to my house……Knows to NEVER say the “3 letter F word”…..I understand that I am “fluffy” but never, ever that word……..(fat) ..I can’t even type it. Let her blow herself out of the world that we all love here. She will & then we all can ignore he for life & go back to having fun & never talk about her or to her again! I’m SO proud of you! I feel like you’re the daughter I never had! I hope you got a good shot in! Oh I wish I was 20 yrs. younger…….LOL

I have been to Kristin’s website and I saw nothing special about it. I, like you, saw a lot LOT of bad spelling. That is so horrible for a college student. Sheesh, what does she do, take funds for schooling and buy crap with it because it sure isn’t going towards anything good. That, or her teachers need to be fired for horrible teaching. I was stalked by her a well about a year ago, so I completely sympathize with you. She finally left me alone. I am so glad that someone finally came forward and spilled all about her. She is rude. She is mean. She is not anyone that any reliable company should or want to work with. I heard all about her work ethics and getting product but not posting about them. Thank you for being a TRUE blogger and a TRUE friend to Amanda. From the sounds of it, it seems as if Amanda is the only SANE one in that family!!!!!!!! Go YOU for standing your grounds!

I came over here to find out what was going on after seeing an Anonymous post on another blog saying you did something at BlogHer (blah blah blah, whatever). I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that someone has nothing better to do with their time than to stalk someone else. I hope this gets resolved, and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it. Stay strong.

I would keep filing complaints on her the more you do the more it adds up against her, then she’ll get what’s coming to her. Plagerism is against the law so you are wrong if you don’t file charges on her and for stalking harrasment….it all adds up sounds like a few fries short of a happy meal LoL I would press charges for each one of them, they can’t throw them all out of court.

I am glad you stood up to her. Hopefully you get her ass in jail where it seems she would be in her like company.

Wow! I can’t believe how some people can act like a little immature high schooler when they are a mom. Stand your ground sister! Hopefully someone can shut her down. Love your blog

Her ‘new blog’ is ourordinarylife.com. All she does it bitch about companies and people.

Dang! I completely believe you, even though I’ve never met you or Kristen (though I probably have since I enter lots of contests and follow lots of blogs.) In every case, she came looking for you. You walked away whenever you could. I support you completely. Please announce her new blog names so I can avoid her like the plague. I like entering contests and following blogs, but I won’t enroll/follow nasty people. The more people that are aware of her plagiarism, abuse and her brand of business tactics, the less people will follow her blogs. Please keep us posted. Thank you for sharing, Heather
P.S. She’s just like my sister, who left me stranded in COSTA RICA! Rag.

I agree Sandra, but as you told me in an email, she and you have been ‘friends off and on for ten years’. Um, friends are FRIENDS. Friends don’t decide one day they hate you, then the next day, they ‘lubbers’ you (as Kristin told me numerous times). She needs medication. Seriously. If she isn’t in control, then she isn’t happy and refuses to have people above her. I was the one that had the balls to walk away from Satan. I refuse to have someone hurt myself or my friends. You can do it once, but after that – you are done. I am very loyal, very trustworthy. She cannot say that. Honestly, I feel sorry for her. She needs help.

Thank you so much Kayla. I have run in to one or two ‘similar’ to her, but nothing exactly like her nor do I wish that upon anyone.

By: Tanya

Tanya — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 19:57:20 +0000

Yes, karissa. How did you like that? That was a nice touch, especially being that neither of them know how to type. I did like how they both (this time) used spell check, but their grammar was pathetic.

By: Tanya

Tanya — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 19:56:00 +0000

She changes the link from time to time because she fails to pay her bill, so this week, I believe it’s ourordinarylife.com
If she isn’t the puppet master to companies, bloggers, friends and her own family, then she gets psycho. They do make medication for that now.

Let me know her blog…so I know to stay away!!!!

dayum. exactly how far can ones head enter their ass?

i love her post, by her husband, who gives a totally unbiased review of the situation….

Seriously I am not a blogger, but am on blogs and honestly I am confused with some of the talk/lingo out there and I am starting to learn what it is. I love your blog and sorry to hear you had a issue with a certain someone. I am not sure what blog is hers, but I would love to know so I can check out the chick who is obviously imbalanced and needs some help.

By: Kayla

Kayla — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:48:01 +0000

Wow. That is all I have to say to that post.
Unfortunately, there are many Kirstens in life-You just have to know how to handle them when they come at you and it sounds like you did a damn good job.
I totally agree though, when you get over 1000 woman in one place, there will be problems.
But other then that, I’m glad you had a good time and you took out of the experience

All of this just makes me really sad. If you look at the bigger picture is this really worth it? After all this is just the internet. Please remember that we all have feelings and some of the things that I have read about her in these comments makes me sad.

I, also, have had run ins with Kristin in other internet arenas. She is a vile, ugly human being, and has no concept of just how nasty she is. She runs around the interwebs, acting as though she is wonderful and perfect, that she is unfairly picked on, she is the victim. Kristin isn’t any more a victim than OJ Simpson! I have been called fat, ugly, stupid, she has insulted my children, she has said that all “fat chicks” are nasty, and that all mommies on message boards are fat and ugly. She is seriously unbalanced and I honestly fear for her children. It’s always amazed me that someone so nasty, thinks she’s beautiful, and that someone so unintelligent, thinks she should write for a living. I am honestly amazed that any companies are willing to work with her. All of the drama and meanness I have read on her blogs, if I owned a company I wouldn’t advertise with her. She thinks she is such a big player in the blogosphere, and really she’s just a big joke.

Sorry if this post is incoherent, I had surgery the other day and am surfing on pain pills at the moment. I’m sorry that you continue to have to deal with Kristin. I’m lucky in that she’s not allowed on my message board, so i don’t have to deal with her. But I’d give my left leg to have seen you punch her!!!

Wow, person below..not being “at all like a mexican” is the most racist thing I have ever heard.

Thats disgusting that anyone would have that kind of attitude!~

I am so so sorry that you had to deal with that.

I am sorry that you have been stalked. That is terrible! I am glad you stood up for yourself, I applaud you for that. [hugs]

I’m not a blogger. But I heard through the grapevine about this. I have had many encounters with Kristin online, and have been stalked online by her. She has started numerous fights with me, and then blogged about how I started fights with her and she’s the victim. I, too, have proof that she was lying about me. She is also very racist which surprises me since her “baby daddy” is Mexican. I particularly loved the blog a few years back about meeting her FIL and him “not being at all like a Mexican.” I have the full blog saved. (And it’s obvious it’s her by her atrocious spelling and grammar.) She also stole my pictures and put them on her blog to make fun of me and say I was “fat” and “ugly”. She also insulted a friend of mine’s children by also calling them fat and ugly. She is the least professional person I have ever run across and I would never ever do business with her if I had a company. I’ve met dead bodies less offensive than her.

Oh, I also know that she stole leads and blog entries from other’s as well. Many others, in fact. I hope she loses everything she DIDN’T work so hard for, and then some.

I hope she gets some help before her children suffer and learn her awful behavior toward others. I’m also so glad she is no longer pregnant so she cannot blame her behavior on “hormones”.

THANK YOU for hitting her! I wish I could have done it… you are my hero!

Wow! Holy crap this behavior is appalling! I’m surprised adults are acting this way.

Congrats on your charity drive! Sounds like you did a great job!

Hey Tanya, so glad you are ok. Don’t worry, we all know how great you are and that you don’t need to steal others info or start drama.

So glad to meet you at dinner. Wish we had more time to chat and laugh!

I’m with you Firefly. I totally have mixed feelings about Blogher now. I’m sure that overall it was an AWESOME time and can’t wait until I can go!

Way to go Tanya for standing up for yourself and your friend AND for donating all the swag…you wouldn’t be stopping by my daycare with some of it, would you? : )

Well, at least the truth is out. That woman needs medication and serious therapy.

I wonder if any of her minions will actually hear the truth or just go on believing her drivel?

Sometimes you just have to say enough is enough! I would have loved the chance to meet you at #bowlher rather than me just yelling at you that you had my shirt on

Tanya, you should be standing proud! You stood up for not only yourself but a friend too. Some people need to get a clue and DISAPPEAR.

By: Tiffany

Tiffany — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:07:05 +0000

Wow, it sounds like some are just desperately jealous of you. I will never understand some people. Thanks for the informative post….now will I go next year or now…hmmm….I DO want to meet all of the MomDot girls but hopefully it will happen before then.

By: Stefanie

Stefanie — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:02:40 +0000

I’m proud of you for standing up for yourself and your friend. I hope she gets what’s coming to her!

And all the swag talk is actually making me not want to go next year! I can’t believe all that I’ve heard about how grabby people were being. (insert eye roll here!)

By: Tanya

Tanya — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 02:57:22 +0000

Yes. It was so much like high school. The ‘clicks’ were for sure there. It was a great time though! It’s just sad when drama has to follow and get in the way of a great time.

By: Firefly

Firefly — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 02:54:18 +0000

Wow I have such a mixed feelings about BlogHer. I am still sad I didn’t go and didn’t have a chance to meet all the MomDot girls. But hearing about all of the drama, I really didn’t expect it to tell you the truth! It reminds me of high school LOL

By: Tanya

Tanya — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 02:53:29 +0000

I didn’t get hurt. I am just sick of being stalked. It’s been long enough. Seriously.

LOL Kim! Green piggy is sad that he didnt get to meet you or Blue Piggy
