It’s my SITS day!!

Posted on by

Alright so if you didn’t guess by the title of my post today then I’ll say it again…. It’s my SITS day!! That deserves a double #WOOHOO and then some! To say that I’m pretty excited about this is an understatement! I’m above the top excited! Doing flips excited! Screaming from the rooftops excited!

You know what SITS is right??? They’re a community of over 9000 women bloggers who support one another through their blogs (commenting…. and lots of it), education, and of course by being the featured blogger or by being the SITS girl in the spotlight. If you’re unsure of which community you should join when first starting out in the blogging world I would highly recommend this one!

A huge thank you goes out to the SITS girls behind the scenes running the entire show, Tiffany, Francesca, Kat, and Angie for all the hard work they do and for celebrating all of us bloggers out there.

Thank you for featuring me today!

Ghosts of Halloween Past

Posted on by

I recently happened upon this awesome contest that the SITS girls hosting and knew that it was one that I couldn’t pass up. I mean who wouldn’t want to win an awesome new camera! Wondering who SITS are? Check them out! They have some great blogging tips & ideas and link you up with other great bloggers.

So, Halloween has come and gone and we had a pretty good time this year! Looking at the pictures of this year and of years past make one a bit nostalgic. I miss how cute and cuddly my kids were when they were little! You could just hug and squish them! Now they try to get away and look at you like you’re really weird or something.

Here are a few pics of past Halloween’s.

Snow White This is Natalie and she loved Snow White! She loved her so much that she had to be her for Halloween one year. So being the good mom that I am I made her a costume. It took forever! But it was worth it because she loved that costume and she wore it all the time. As a matter of fact that costume is still around in the dress up box!

Puppy CostumeThis is my little Lauren and isn’t she adorable! She was dressed up as a puppy and it was another costume that I made with the help of a friend. There’s a hat that goes with her costume but she didn’t want to wear it all the time, it was damn cute though!

If you’re interested in taking part in this great giveaway go here! Now I know you don’t want to because you all want me to win this pretty cool camera!
