Good news is sure to put a smile on one’s face. And a few short weeks ago, I got the best of news in the form of an e-mail informing me that Friday, July 18th, would be my SITS Day, which did indeed make me smile from ear to ear!! To check it out, click here!!
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.
Today, the site is home to over 75,000 members and I am proud to not only be one of these members, but also be a community lead, who gets to help with campaigns, such as the SITS Summer Social Love, as well as gets to write and share featured articles on the SITS Girls website (Stay Tuned on Monday for My First Feature Article to Appear).
I also love how I have met and gotten to know so many wonderful and new bloggers from this online affiliation, by belonging to their closed Facebook group and visiting their open Facebook company page daily to connect with other SITS Girls, too.
For those, who are new 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. Coincidentally, yesterday we just celebrated my older daughter (my girls are Irish Twins and 16 months apart), 5th birthday. So, I am still coming off the high of yesterday’s celebration.
But still welcome and please check out a few of my favorite posts that I would love for you to look at better if you haven’t already:

Oh happy birthday to them! They’re adorable!!!!!! I actually just joined SITS (after 8 years of blogging) but found you through the pin it party. Congrats on the SITS day! (I’m not totally sure what it means, because I just joined, but I’m thinking congrats are in order!). π

Hi Janine!
I’m excited as I hadn’t heard of SITS before! It sounds perfect for featuring on my site “When Women Inspire.” Maybe you could do a write-up about it for the site and your experiences with it? If you’re interested let me know π I’d link to this site and J9 as part of your bio. Happy Friday!

Eli@coachdaddy says
I was always worried a SITS day involved some sort of secret ritual and that on your SITS day, they’d cut your hair really short or brand you like they do in that one fraternity. Apparently, it’s kind of a spotlight on an outstanding blog and all kinds of support.
Who knew?
Tiki says
Congrats! I love seeing awesome things happen to you and I’m glad I met you through our online groups. π

Amy says
Hey! I happened to be scanning recipes for pork chops on Pinterest and ran across a cute little webpage. I get to the bottom and TADA, the creator was YOU! No surprise there, but I just had to come tell you. Oh, it was Bitz and Giggles. I am sorry I just am not around very much anymore, but I am trying to keep up with social networks and I REALLY want to start a new blog later on when I have the extra cash and time to devote to it. I am loving that you girls are twirled around Frozen’s finger still. π Congrats to everything going on in your corner and HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!
karen says
sorry I missed your SITS day…YOU ROCK…and so glad you got asked, you so deserve it babe.
