Something SO special is happening on SITS next week that it has been nearly impossible not to shout it out for everyone to hear.

We’re turning 3!!

birthday bash

Yes, it’s true.  The SITS Girls have been around for 3 years.

It’s fun to look back at the original posts and see how from we’ve come.  One of the very first posts on the Blogger site looked something like this:

We’re SO excited to welcome you to The Secret is in the Sauce.  What is this blog all about?  Well, it’s all about you. About us.  About girl power in it’s best form.  Supporting one another as we journey through the blogosphere.

Monday through Friday, we will be featuring a new Blogger every day.  We will tell you a bit about why the blogger ROCKS and provide links to their “Best” posts.  Once featured, the blog is added to our “Saucy Blogs”.  Only 20 at a time will be listed.

Your job is to follow the link and COMMENT.  Comment often.  Not sure how to start?  Try “Hey! Came on over through SITS, great post.”  Then give her some props and read another post.

Three years, almost 10,000 community members, and over 1,000 posts later, our mission remains unchanged.

And we think that is a pretty big reason to celebrate our birthday, don’t you?

Starting on Monday, we have a TON of surprises planned for our community!  Yes, there will be giveaways, but for an event like this, we wanted to do something more.  That’s why we’ve been hard at work figuring out a gift that we can give to every.  single.  community.  member.

During the week of July 11-15, we’ll be unveiling all of the fantastic things we have been working on for the past few months.

So, say yes, and join us for a five day birthday celebration of girl power, comments, and all that The SITS Girls have come to represent.

    Congrats! And Happy Birthday to SITS!

    It’s amazing what a community you’ve been able to build. Though I haven’t been blogging long, I do know that SITS is the one place that felt like “home.”

    Thanks for everything.

    I think we should all break into our own renditions of Happy Birthday all at once. Hey, your birthday week ends the day before my birthday!

    Happy birthday!!!!!!! You’ve done so much for the blogger community, I’ve always been impressed with your ability to reinvent yourselves as times change while staying true to your mission.

    How about some cake? Could you give cake to all 10,000 of us?!?

    Awesome!!! Happy Birthday, SITS! Although I am a fairly new member, I am glad that I joined the community of such awesome bloggers. With an addiction to reading different blogs, coming onto SITS has become ‘my pusher’ (lol). Can’t wait to see what’s in store! I’m excited!

    Happy Happy Birthday, SITS!! I remember seeing you back in the Secret’s in the Sauce days and wondering who you were and what you were all about. And ever since signing on a year ago, I’ve wished I had signed on sooner. There is such a……..to use my kidlets’ term…rockin’ awesome group of women here and I’m so glad to come visit and meet new peeps! :> Looking forward to seeing what you all are up to next week!

    Happy Birthday SITS! I do remember when you started, I won your first give-a-way a new camera, a recorder, the t-shirt I’m wearing now “Comment Junkie” a Target gift card, and you even sent my son a t-shirt (you sent me chocolate, but it was returned to you, so you appoligized for the delay of sending it to yourself with the tshirt)

    I’ve made friends I never would have, and have even been featured as a blogger, Thank you again. I have to say your site is busy, and not as ‘simple’ as it once was. I’m trying to get back into SITS and visit regularly again.

    Much love, and congrats again!
