Good news is sure to put a smile on one’s face. And about a month ago, I got the best of news in the form of an e-mail informing me that Tuesday, May 7th, would be my SITS Day, which did indeed make me smile from ear to ear!!
Well, that is today! What is SITS? For those who, don’t know SITS is a website that is a wonderful community of blogging women that was created and found back in 2008, by five women (Tiffany Romero, Francesca Banducci, Ashley Abele, Shell Roush, and and Kathy Bouska), who according to them simply wanted to create a space where bloggers could find their tribe and grow their audience. Although the site has evolved over the years, its commitment to this mission has not changed.
For those, who are knew to my blog today, thank you so very much for stopping by and hope you will stick around for a bit to get to know me.

That is totally ok and would love for you to got to my sponsor page and do a swap on here. It is totally free with the code swap!!! And thank you so very much Stephanie!! 🙂
WhenCrazyMeetsExhaus says
Will do, lady!
Janine Huldie says
Awesome!! 🙂
WhenCrazyMeetsExhaus says
Sooooo I went to your page and can't figure out how to do the free swap. Can you help a technologically challenged gal out?! 😉
Janine Huldie says
Sure, I can totally!! Once you are on my advertising page, click on Tiny Confessions. This takes you to Passionfruit. From there you are prompted to upload your button file from your computer. Then write note (don't worry about this, I know who you are). Then put the promo code: Swap and enter. You should be brought to a payment page and it should be all paid for with the code. Let me know if this works!! 🙂
WhenCrazyMeetsExhaus says
Ohmygoodness–how did I miss that?! It worked–thank you!

Diana Chastain says
I have been a SITS member for a while. And I don't know if I've been featured or not. 🙁
Janine Huldie says
Diana, I literally just got an e-mail telling me they were going to feature me and to send my info and links to them. I did and about a week later, they sent me an e-mail with my feature date, which was about a month away at that point. I honestly didn't do anything special to get featured. So, I am not sure.
Barbara says
Hope you had a Happy SITS day, now following.
Janine Huldie says
Thanks so much Barbara, it was a wonderful day. And so happy having you follow me now!! 🙂
