Our big birthday bash is getting closer and closer! Before we dive into a week of utter amazement, here is what happened on SITS this week…
Education
Lynda, our resident blogging and photography expert, kicked off our first #SITSPics Challenge. #SITSPics is a once-a-month feature focused on helping our community learn photography basics with quick, easy to apply lessons. The first month is dedicated to taking pictures of kids or pets, which Lynda describes in a fantastic video starring her own children.

Women on the Move
Mama Kat returned from her trip to the Special Olympics in Greece and described what a life-changing experience she had. Her job was to support, listen, learn, and document her time abroad. It was such a powerful trip for her, both as a mother and as a blogger.
Food & Lifestyle
Emily Louise wrote a beautiful post about summer. I adored the photos she used to help us all appreciate what a truly lovely time of year this is.
SITS Girl in the Spotlight
This week in the spotlight, we are headed to Old San Juan, Puerto Rico thanks to Alexandra from AlexandraRoman.com.
Alexandra writes a bilingual blog in Spanish and English. Here is what she had to say about the lovely photos she submitted…
I’m submitting two pictures of a day at Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. I love to go there with my kids because it’s full of history and so alive. It’s wonderful to just walk around site seeing, taking pictures and teaching my children about their history and heritage.
Mmmm….sounds wonderful! Photos like these make me realize that it has been far too long since my last trip!
Head over to Alexandra’s blog this weekend and say hello!

My daughter calls him “too cute for comfort”! They have a great relationship, he is her shadow, lol.
Our family lived in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico for four years, and we spent a great deal of time in Old San Juan. It’s a beautiful place with blue cobblestones on the streets, and tours of El Morro and San Cristobol are among our kids’ most delightful memories! I’m impressed by Alesandra’s talent for writing powerful, evocative narrative in both languages. And her photos are fantastic. Great site!
It is my daughter’s favorite place. When we have a mother-daughter dates it is always the first place she picks!
Beautiful picture!
Thanks!
Thank you, Kristy!
Enjoy your weekend Sits girls! The little boy in the picture is my four year old too cute baby boy playing with his older sister toy camera.

The picture blog post is definitely something I’ll be heading over to see because I’m trying to embellish my blog with pictures- especially when I do the travel, eating while staying fit posts. BTW, I took the last ones from France with my iPhone!
Love the pics from Monaco!
