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 [email protected].

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!

    Texas doesn’t “officially” have seasons. We know it’s Fall when footballs starts! We have been extremely lucky that it’s only been in the low 90’s this weekend, and actually in the 70’s at night. Love waking up to a breeze instead of humidity. Hope it gets cooler from here !

    I’m new to SITS, but I’m loving it! I have found so many amazing blogs so far. I read a few entries to each of those women in this post and are following them now, too. 🙂 My goal in getting into blogging is to join other mothers and learn from them. I’m looking forward to reading more and getting to know more people!

    Happy Labor Day everyone!

    Labor Day – why are we all working? 🙂

    My latest entry is about my husband who is a blind film director. It’s a feel-good story, please watch the vid and tell me what you think.

  8. Dee says

    Happy Labour Day to those of you in the States.

    I’m labouring too although I’m hundreds of miles away.

  9. Melissa says

    OMG, they’re beautiful. I must have them…and a new (indoors, please?) laundry room to go with them.

    Not that the SITStahs aren’t gorgeous, but you know…I have a thing for household appliances!

    looking forward to checking out sunday’s blog! as a parent of high functioning end of ASD- I can only imagine how hard it is on low end times 2. It is a rough life even where we fortunately stand.

    swing by http://www.sublimebynature.com to read my post about an encouraging movement called Operation Beautiful!

  12. Jo says

    Please kindly remind my city that fall is indeed nearly upon us and, so, it’s time for the high temps to take a flying leap and go annoy someone else until next year.

    Wishing you all Autumn breezes and colors.

    Peace and serenity,

    Yup, I can definitely say it’s fall! I started going through my closet today and putting away a few of my ‘extreme’ summer clothes. I’m sad to see them get sent to the wood chest, but I’m also happy to see Fall! 🙂

  14. Sunday says

    I’m loving all the great conversations we are having on the SITS Blog Frog Community this month and I can’t thank my SITStah’s Tiffany, Kat, & Francesca enough for asking me to help out!

  20. SharleneT says

    Happy Labor Day, y’all… I just love this time of year… that washer and dryer set looks great and I hope one of you fine SITStas will be giving it a home before long… It’s my birthday tomorrow, so I’m heading out to give myself an early present… come visit when you can…

  27. Lauren Ahier says

    Love love love the turquoise washer and dryer.
    Can’t believe I’m talking about a love affair with laundry, but anything turquoise is the just fabulous. I’ve done a lot of decorating with turquoise, and the washer and dryer is certainly on my dream list.

    Check out my blog to see what life is like living on an island in the Caribbean that is just 5 square miles.

  28. Libby says

    Wow! Hello helper SITS-tahs! Look forward to hearing from you this week.
    Happy Labor Day all you in the States! The clouds seemed to take pity on us rain drowned Ex-pats today and granted us one last beach day.

  32. Jennifer says

    I’m so excited to be helping out this month. I can’t wait to meet tons of great bloggers. I hope lots and lots of new relationships come out of it.

    I cannot believe it is Fall already!! Time always flies so fast when you need more of summer vacation!

    So what is Black, White, and Red all over? Not a Zebra with a diaper rash… but my new blog layout! Please stop by and give it a peak.

  39. High Heeled Life says

    What a wonderful way to kick off Back to Blogging!! Your conferences sound amazing … must see if I can get a couple of the Canadian gals to attend one. Do you think you might consider hosting one up here in Canada ~ say maybe the Toronto area?

    Cheers,

    Happy Labor Day everyone.

    Will the winner of that turquoise washer and dryer have to redecorate the laundry room?

    Thank you to SITS. It’s been a great community. I’ve learned so much from everyone and looking forward to helping however I can.

  43. Tisha Twitter: InspirationsTM says

    Happy Labor Day! Everyone, I hope you all are having a good time. I’m ready for the last 3 holidays of the year, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. So I can put back the 10 ponds which took me all summer to loose. lol just a little extra cushion to keep me warm.

  45. Carrie says

    I am SO glad it is fall and back to school time. It’s only preschool but damn, my 4yr old need the structure! She’s driving us CRAZY 🙂

    Have a great last day of summer fun before back to school officially begins

  46. melanie says

    i love fall, it’s my favourite season. the special light, the leaves, all the colours – just beautiful.

    hope you all had a great start into the week 🙂

    ps: wrote a new blog post today – i’m still looking for a webdesigner who is into that shabby chick vintage style.

  47. citymouse says

    I really need to get involved in the Blog Frog community… but it’s all I can do to keep up with my blog some days! How do you gals blog, twitter and spend time elsewhere on the ‘Net and get it all done?

    Hope everyone is enjoying the most perfect labor day ever!

  50. OwningSingle says
