It’s time for my favorite day of the week here at The SITS Girls! Saturday Sharefest is an opportunity to increase your weekend blog traffic and meet some fabulous new bloggers. It’s the day we get back to our bloggy roots and help you build your blog community!
I don’t know about you, but I have Spring Fever. I’m ready to lay on the beach, put my feet in the sand, and sleep-in. Anybody? So, in celebration of my fantasy, I’m sharing my favorite sun-inspired posts from the week.
I came across Chelsea’s blog, Sunny With a Chance of Sprinkles this week, and if her cheerful blog name wasn’t sunny enough, she put a smile on my face with this post about her day-to-day. I loved her writing style and creativity in how she shared a glimpse into her life as a mom raising her sweet little burst of sunshine, Alea Lou.
Tamera Camera shared a lovely post about living in a state of “on” as a parent. Tamera not only captured me with her words, but she also pulled me in with her photography. Just look at how the sun shines through the house in these beautiful photos of her daughter painting a birdhouse. Make a Little Birdhouse in Your Soul is a perfect fit for my spring state of mind.
My round up of favorite spring finds would be incomplete without something sweet to eat! A Day in Candiland shares her recipe for The Best Lemon Bars, and they look sunny and delicious! Now I just need something cute to wear…
Marissa from The Modern Austen is ready for spring too! She shared some adorable outfit ideas for those of us who are in those transition months from winter to spring in So Long, Winter! Her ideas are adorable and light enough to welcome spring, but warm enough to get you through the last bits of cooler weather we still have.

Happy Saturday! Yay for a work free day:)
I missed the twitter party, but here is my favorite post of this week… it was tough to choose because I have been (almost) ridiculously productive!
I look forward to visiting everyone!

This week was a week of truths, inspiration, encouragement, and education. I choose two posts to share: The Color Complex & a post on National Healthcare Decisions Day! Please visit be-quoted.com for the goods.
Happy Saturday from us! My favorite post this week was one that my sister wrote (we write together) about how sometimes getting your gourmet on can be a nice frozen pizza. And that is quite alright.

Happy Saturday, everyone!
We’re finally getting nice weather so I plan on taking my daughter out to try and teach her how to ride a two wheeler!
Boy am I late to the party. Happy Sharefest everyone.
My reaction to all the negativity Pinterest has been receiving as of late. http://momamusings.com/index.php/2013/04/does-pinterest-make-you-feel-inadequate/
Morning all. Happy Saturday 🙂
I’ve really been writing a lot more lately. Submitted my first novel to be published, now I’m just waiting. Can’t wait to check out your sites listed up top 🙂 Have a great day!
Morning, ladies! Happy Saturday!
For those of you on the east coast still freezing your butts off, you will likely enjoy these gorgeous flowers at the Bellagio Conservatory. We’re already warming up quite nicely here in Vegas. 🙂

I was so blessed by all the LOVE you guys showed me…that’s what makes this community THE BEST!! Hope you ladies have a fantabulous rest of your weekend!! 😀 xoxoxo
I’d love for some SITS girls to join me in Guatemala. Let’s go make a difference and love on some children in poverty.

Happy Saturday!
Happy Sharefest, everyone!
My post is about how important it is to take time to do things that make us happy — time out for ourselves! I included a long list of ideas, gathered from friends during a difficult time in my life. Friends can be so smart.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
A happy weekend to you all! Excited to read your writings this morning 🙂 XOXO
Thanks for hosting this, ladies! It is my first time linking up here and I am really new to SITS as well. I’m really enjoying the information. Is there a way that you would like us to link back to this link party? Thanks again,
KC
This is only the 2nd time I’ve had more than 10 minutes or so, for Sharefest. I’m so excited to dive into everybody’s blogs and hang out on Twitter this morning. Happy Saturday ladies!
I linked up a recipe for chocolate peanut butter mousse. It’s dairy-free!

I actually posted twice this week! It’s been hard getting back into the groove. Happy SITS Sharefest everyone!
Happy Sharefest and yay to spring temperatures!!!! Enjoy your weekend!
Happy Sharefest, everyone!
See you on Twitter soon! Happy Sharefest ladies!
Woohoo! Happy Saturday everyone!
Happy SITS Sharefest everyone! The post we wrote this week that inspired the most conversation and definitely amazing comments is about whether or not we are giving our children too much too soon. Would love your thoughts.

Good Morning Ladies! Enjoy the Sharefest!
I didn’t manage to post at all this week, but it wouldn’t be Saturday if I didn’t visit a blog or two at Sharefest. Happy Sharefest everyone.
Good Morning Adrienne! Hope you have a fantabulous day!
Good Morning to you!! I’m heading to yoga in about 5 minutes, so the day should be wonderful!
Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you’ve all have a great week… feel free to share one of your accomplishments in my comments box. Brag away! 🙂
I’ve been all over the board this week. From a repost that highlights a conversation only two sisters can have to an update on Daddy (which I linked up) to my regular Friday Frags in which I give details of our Spring Break trip. Alas, Spring Break is over, so it’s back to the grind next week.
Happy Saturday! It was a quiet week for me on the blog. My favorite post would have to be my only post.
This was beautifully written. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Rhonda. I’m so happy to read your comment about your daughter. I love meeting other moms who know first hand what a struggle OCD and Anxiety can be for our children. Nothing has ever made me feel so helpless as a mom.
Good morning! Happy Saturday Sharefest.
Happy Saturday Sharefest! Hope it’s a great day. My favorite post from the week was about clipping curtains with bag clips and cleaning http://dinoheromommy.com/2013/04/04/next-thursday-link-up/
ooops I think I messed up a link. sorry about that.
Have a great Sharefest, everyone!
This week we looked at the Mommy Wars, and found ourselves on both sides. We asked our readers for their stories for a longer, deeper look.
Sucks that the linky is broken this morning .I love sharefest…it has become a Saturday morning ritual that I really look forward to. I’ll keep checking back today in hopes that it works later. In the meantime, April Fool’s day was three perfect time to blog about fun and what’s more fun than Peter Pan? I hope you’ll check out my post http://exaltedpeacock.com/peter-pan/
You weren’t able to get yours up?
I just did it. thanks so much for making it work
Probably my update on 2013’s new year’s resolutions, three months in: http://blog.rachelcotterill.com/2013/04/2013-goal-review-q1.html
PS I had to post in the comments because I can’t make the linky load today (in any browser)
