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!

    It’s Fall, already? I hope the weather here in AZ listens to y’all and starts doing its part to make it feel like fall.

    I can’t believe we’re closing in on the last quarter of the year. What a year it’s been so far!

    Looking forward to more fun this last part of the year.

  3. Heather says

    Happy Labor Day to all! I’m beyond intrigued by the washer and dryer tease!

  4. Brenna says

    Last day before back to school. Bittersweet… and a little strange thinking of all those children around the world that don’t have the chance to go to school. Happy Labor Day.

  6. Meredith says

    I just finished writing about us fixing our 11 year old washer before I can here and saw I was going to win that new washer and dryer…must be fate! 🙂

  10. Jessica says

    OMG… those are the washer and dryer you see in the commercial with Kelly Ripa…can you see my drool on my laptop screen from that side? OMG… I’m so excited. I’m not even sure I can go to sleep tonight.

    Woo hoo!! What a way to kick off the fall!!

  11. Amy says

    What a great way to celebrate Labor day by having a new grandbaby! Little girl born at 6:45 pm EST, 7 lbs 4 oz, 20 in. Baby is fine, the mama(my son’s GF) had a bit of a rough time and had to have c-section. Say a little prayer for 17 year old new mommy Jessica tonight!
    BTW, the baby is beautiful of course, lol!

    we do not have fall here in our side of the Planet but I’d like to join hands with you as you welcome Fall!

    Have fun at the boot camp and enjoy the falling of the leaves 🙂

  27. Mary at Deep South Dish says

    Boy, I really need that washer dryer set! 🙂 You have me curious.

    There’s still plenty of summer left – especially down south, though at least this weekend was a bit cooler, yay! Couple more weeks till fall. Hope it remembers to show up here!

  28. Becky L. says

    Summer seemed busy for me. Something to do on half the weekends and then a few days vacation last month. Now it’s cooler and the apples are coming in. Right now I’ve got apples cooking on the stove for applesauce. Earlier today I went out to a dahlia farm where there’s 40 acres of dahlias! So beautiful…yes there’ll be a post about them eventually. Hope you all have a wonderful day and a great week as we move into cooler weather and a different season soon! Hugs!

    Happy Holiday!

  35. Liz@LovingMom says

    oh those are so so so yummy!!! I need to not just come back to blogging but back to SITS too!!! Hooray for the school year and one less child at home 🙂 (wait….is it bad to say that?!)

  36. The Drama Mama says

    These are some awesome ladies. I am so sad to kiss summer goodbye myself. Come over and visit my tribute to summer through pictures.

    Happy Labor Day!

  37. The wife says

    I’m hoping we have a nice thunderstormy day tomorrow! It will really help it feel like fall around here.

    Have a fantastic week, girls.

  43. Karen G says

    Kim has been so gracious, informative, and fun to get to know since I joined BF in July and I’ve been seeing a lot of Jenn and the great things she has to say. I will make sure to connect with Sunday & Jennifer too! :> Happy Labor Day to the gals in the States…and hope everyone else’s weeks are off to a great start!

  44. Linsey Wilt says

    We had a fabulous summer and it ended with the perfect labor Day weekend, but really looking forward to fall, my favorite time of year!!! Routine is also a plus!!!

  47. Serene says

    Happy Labor Day, everyone! I’m celebrating by doing next to nothing and eating leftover potato salad.

  49. Teresa @ Too Many Heartbeats says

    Wow, the featured bloggers sound great! Do you think if I bribed them with lots of chocolate, coffee and such, they might pick MEEEEEE for those gorgeous hunks of metal up there, which, by the way, are way too pretty to be called a washer and a dryer?? Doing laundry with those just HAS to be fun! :o)

    Seriously though, I would LOVE to win those for my family. Due to my illness, I am no longer able to help them with our laundry. Plus, our W&D are so old it takes HOURS just to do one load of clothes. What a blessing these would be! *fingers crossed, prayers going up*

    Hope you all are having a wonderful Labor Day!

    Blessings,
    Teresa <
