Happy Day to ME!

Why helllllllooooo there!

Guess what today is???!!!

MY SITS DAY!

If you are visiting from SITS…howdy!

If you have no idea what SITS is, it stands for Secret Is in The Sauce and is a group of 7,000+ bloggers dedicated to supporting one another by leaving comments.  Lots and lots of comments.

Everyday SITS features a blogger, and today is MY day!  Yippee!

Okay, so if you are new here, you might be wondering what is going on.

For starters, I’m a stay at home mom.  I have three uber cute kids if I do say so myself.  :)

But I’d like to think my blog is anything but a Mommy Blog.  Yes, I often talk about my kids and my life.

I rant and rave about things.

I blog a lot about my bizarre trips to Costco.  Or how I had a Walmart Moment.  Or show you just how large a twin belly can get.

I do all that typical bloggy stuffs.

I even try to be funny.  But the jury’s still out on that one.

But ultimately, I believe in Story.

That everyone has one.

And that NONE of us has it all together.

Each of us has a very different life from the one we…you know…PLANNED.

But at the end of the day, we can learn from one another, and through Story…we can be a little bit better for it.

Every two weeks I host a guest blogger.  (You can find a full list of previous featured bloggers HERE).

Every two weeks that mama tells her own version of how her life was rearranged.  How it wasn’t anything like what she ever thought it might be.

Their lives brought with it tears, sadness, heartache, frustrations, angry rants…but above all, more joy and happiness and love than they even knew possible.

Each guest blogger selects a charityto fundraise for.  AND, the fundraiser also incorporates a giveaway.  Basically, if Sue gives $11 to the charity of the week, she gets 11 virtual tickets for the item/s being given away.  The more she gives, the more chances she has to win.

“Life doesn’t always go as planned.  Help others anyway.”

In fact, if you are visitng from SITS today, I would urge you to please check out the current Feature Blogger.  Maybe even consider giving.  If you don’t click on a single link on this post, I would say that THIS one is that you should take the time to click.

Anyhoo…I hope you had a nice visit!  I would be honored if you took the time to snoop around and maybe even subscribe and stay a while!

For those of you Regulars…thanks for hanging out during my party!

I'm a mom to four. A wife to one. I believe in story. I love telling you about mine and would love to hear yours. There's really no sense in wasting our suffering and not sharing in each other's joy. We're all in this together...even if it doesn't always feel like it.

    Congratulations on your SITS day! What a wonderful site and a wonderful Story you have. While things don’t always go the way WE planned, they always go the way God planned. Even though we don’t always understand His reasoning behind things. May you be blessed throughout the rest of your journey and as you continue to write your Story!

    Well, my life is definitely not what I had planned. I am now a single mom of 2 girls (14 & 20). I have actually been a single mom longer than I was a married mom…but I can’t/won’t complain.

    Happy SITS Day!

    Happy SITSday! When my twin daughters were born last January, I instantly had 3 under 17 months. OY! Completely unexpected and I feel your pain. But also you’re joy once you survive the first 6 months and can reclaim a little sleep. They’re so fun!
    Enjoying your lovely blog today.

    Just read your story. Wow. What a wonderful family you have. Amazing story!!!

  26. 26

    HAPPY SITS DAY TO YOU! This was one of my favorite blog days EVER! Enjoy every moment of it.

    What a fascinating story you have. I enjoyed reading about your kids, and getting to know your situation just a little bit. I can’t imagine how hard it is to have a 2 yr. old AND twins, much less the medical issues you’re having to deal with. Clearly you are MUCH stronger than me.

    Loved your Walmart moment story for it’s honesty. What a sad moment. But again, you seem to handle things with grace.

    As far as Costco (my FAVORITE place to go) people ARE amazing aren’t they? So willing to just say whatever pops into their heads.

    I will say this…you have a beautiful family, and I enjoy what I’ve seen of your blog. So keep up the good work sister.

    Oh, Jeannette, I love your site. I think it is sooooo wonderful that you’re giving back both by featuring mommies who need a little “something” and by allowing them to choose a featured support. Love what you’re doing, girl, keep up the good work.

    Happy SITS Day!

    I read your story about your son and daughters and I was near tears for how horrible those first years were!

    I too suffered an infected c-section and then an infected uterus. I couldn’t imagine deal with that on top of a sick baby and my heart breaks. I’m so happy that things seem to be getting better and I’ll pray for your little ones!

    Visiting from SITS and I love the tile of your blog, because, really? isn’t that how it goes? I’m in the midst of my own chaos and it has been encouraging to hear from other moms and how they deal with–whatever happens!

    Words cannot express how excited I was for you when I opened up SITS this morning and saw that you were the featured blogger for today!

    It made me SQUEEE with delight for you!

    In celebration I do believe you should play a game of Words With Friends with me! LOL :-P

    Happy SITS day!

    You, my dear, are filled with all kinds of clever, interesting ideas. I can’t wait to follow along.
