Happy 4th of July weekend, y’all! Hope everyone is enjoying a relaxing weekend filled with BBQ, fireworks, and sparkle!

Here is what happened on SITS this week:

Education

Our final week of the Problogger Summer Challenge wrapped up in the Education channel. {If you are still following along in the forum, the daily activities will finish up by mid-July.} Some of the highlights this week included a post on how to spot spam comments and a link-up to drive more comments to your blog.

Women on the Move

Andrea, our #SITSBooks Book Club lead, hosted a small giveaway for a book on 101 off-line things to do with your kids this summer. It is something I’m sure we could all use!

Food & Lifestyle

Emily Louise got us thinking outside of the box for dinner with her idea to create pizzas using a waffle iron. Yum!
