New to SITS? Welcome!! Go read this to get started.

Happy Labor Day, everyone!  Hard to believe the summer of beaching, picnicking, and enjoying ice cream is officially coming to an end. Although we are sad to see our carefree days go, there is plenty to look forward to this fall on SITS.

We are kicking the season into high gear with several fabulous events…

For starters, Bloggy Boot Camp is in full swing, as we host one event per month through November.  Tickets for Philadelphia and Austin are now sold out.  If you are interested in getting on the wait list, send an e-mail to tiffany@bloggybootcamp.com.

And don’t miss out on the final conference we are hosting before the new year: St. George, Utah!  Registration is still open.

In addition to our conference series, we have tons happening here in blogland.  You can expect several fantastic educational challenges, and even a giveaway or two, starting with this…

A Turquoise Sky Washer and Dryer from Electrolux, valued at $ 4,000!!

Interested?  Then be sure to check back with SITS this week and next as we explain how you can get involved with our Back to Blogging event and qualify to win this beautiful washer and dryer.

Finally, as a way to  keep our momentum going and engage our community on BlogFrog, we’ve enlisted the help of the below SITStahs for the month of September.  If you don’t know them yet, stop by their blogs and say hello.  They’ll be popping up everywhere as the month goes by.

Maker of the cute and the yummy, patron of the odd & the offbeat, erstwhile cake sculptor and chocolatier, Jenn Erickson of Rook No. 17 describes herself as both punk and preppie, sweet and spicy, and irresistibly drawn to shiny, glittery objects. Teacher of the pastry arts, student of life, avid reader, collector, and decorator, this crafty bird has worn many hats and played many roles, but her favorite remains that of “Mama” to her two little girls.  Connect with Jenn on Twitter @rookno17.

Jennifer is the mom of a just-started-kindergartner (sob) and a toddler.  She writes about navigating the world of being a mom, surviving the ups and downs of being married to her high school sweetheart, balancing a full time job outside of the home, and managing life’s daily challenges at her blog, Momma Made It Look Easy.  Sometimes she tries to tweet @jwilliams057.

Kim Luu owns a financial management and consulting firm in Newport Beach that manages pension plans and 401ks.  She also runs the insurance division for an independent full service brokerage firm.  She has extensive experience working with small business owners for over 25 years.  Kim volunteers frequently for children and senior causes.  You can find Kim at Money and Risk, a personal and business finance site, and on Twitter @moneyandrisk.

Sunday is the frazzled woman behind the screaming Banshee mask. She is also a mom of two special boys, Samuel age 7 and Noah age 5, both diagnosed on the severe end of the autism spectrum. Sunday’s blog, Adventures in Extreme Parenthood, is a window into her family’s daily trials and triumphs in the world of special-needs parenting. She can also be found tweeting her Banshee heart out on Twitter @xtremeparnthood.

Looking forward to another great season of blogging!

    I’m so glad that I found SITS. I’m learning so many new things and reading lots and lots of new blogs. And now, a chance to win a gorgeous, high-end washer and dryer that would not fit my budget. Bonus!

  2. OMG! Yummy says

    Don’t want this weekend to end. Heading into a REALLY busy Sept for my whole family. Hope everyone is getting some much-needed family time and R&R today.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Austin Tickets can NOT be sold out! Tell me it isn’t true. Bloggy Boot Camp Austin tickets were supposed to be my 26th Birthday present =(

    Not good news. Not good at all. On to the waiting list I shall go.

  6. Rhea says

    Hello to the new SITStahs! And the color of that washer and dryer is FABULOUS! I can’t believe summer is over. But, I’m ready for cooler weather for sure.

    I’m exhausted beyond belief. But that doesn’t stop me from moving forward with our giveaways this week. Starting with the one today: a custom card design and ONE HUNDRED CARDS from Less Ordinary Designs! I’m so excited for that winner!

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to take advantage of my husband’s kindness and go take a nap.

  18. Karen says

    I had some really great things happen this summer, but I’m SO happy to see it end. It’s time for something new.

    I’m excited for the new things coming up. Sounds like you all have been busy!

  21. MeCassieMarie says

    Oh the fall! I love it so much. 🙂

    That washer and dryer looks pretty awesome, and if I wasn’t 21 and still living with the ‘rents–who are amazing by the way– I’d want them for myself!

    Good to see more goings on in the blogfrog. I really need to be more active there myself.

  28. Shell says

    Wow, that is an amazing prize!!!!

    I know 2 of the ladies you are talking about, need to meet the other 2!

  29. Allyson says

    Are you kidding me with that washer and dryer? I may or may not have wet myself a little when I saw that. I will do whatever it takes to enter and win those badboys.

    In the meantime….Happy labor Day ladies! Hope it’s fantastical for all! I have to figure out how to make some potato salad with no potatos. What? impossible. Whatever.

  30. Cheryl D. says

    Wow, if anyone can breath life into BlogFrog (or anywhere else for that manner), it’s Sunday! Yay! I’ll have to check out BlogFrog more than once a day now! LOL

    I hope everyone is having a great Labor Day weekend!

    • Sunday says

      WOOHOO! Thanks Cheryl! I certainly do try to bring some fun to almost everything I do!

      Frankly, I’d like to win that washer and dryer and bring some turquoise fun to doing laundry!

      Can I get an amen?!

  32. Kerry says

    I’m one of the weirdos that loves fall! i love summer too but there is something about breaking out the sweaters and jeans.

    going to go check out the ladies above now!

  35. Amanda says

    It smells and feels of fall and it makes me so happy! I come alive in the fall. And what makes it extra special is that I get my dream of a fall wedding.

  41. Brittany Ciara says

    What an amazing thing to giveaway, how exciting is that? The color absolutely pulled me in.

    I’m insanely excited for Bloggy Boot Camp in Austin. My professor was so impressed with me going that he gave me an alternative assignment to fit in with me attending. I can’t wait to turn in my report on how BBC helped me!

    Yay! More wonderful blogs to check out. I’m clicking away at links!

    May the fall bring many wonderful things here to SITS along with everywhere else in Blognia!

    Happy Labor Day, SITStahs!

    x’s and o’s to each and every one of you!
