I can hardly sustain my emotions....today I am the featured blog at SITS! Welcome Sitstas and Friends! If you haven't heard of SITS before, or would like more information, definitely check it out here!!
SITS is a group of women bloggers dedicated to supporting one another by leaving comments. Lots and lots of comments. Whether you are new to blogging and looking for blogs to read, or a veteran looking to expand your readership, a mommy blogger or a single gal, SITS is for you!
I am so honored to have everyone stop by, it really means so much to me! I couldn't believe it when I got the e-mail,
...I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy....
There are so many awesome moms and ubber cool blogs out there, I absolutely LOVE getting to meet so many great people!
ok, ok, before I chase everyone off-- I'd like to let you know a bit about me and my family before you hop-scotch around our blog. Ok, there I am, the one in the left corner. I know, not a great shot, but I just don't do pictures.
Meet my family. That's my husband (the one holding our daughter) and my parents on a trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan last summer. My parents are a very important part of our family. On a few of our return trips to Matt and my favorite locations, we've asked my parents to "tag-a-long". What good is it to see a beautiful place if you can't share it? And these are great memories for my daughter.
I'm a super uncoordinated, always procrastinating wife to Matt and mother to my 3 (almost 4) year old daughter Taylor. We love to travel, eh well, I love to travel! More specific, I love to visit Lighthouses! I've always wanted to write a book about our lighthouse adventures, so it seemed idealistic to start in a blog...from there this is what transpired. We're not the Swiss Family Robinson, more like the Bundy's or Griswold's, but I'll let you decide on your own!
Matt and I have been traveling for many years together. Since we can't just leave our daughter at home, we wanted take her on our adventures too. Now that she's getting older, we can see Taylor love to travels too. I really think she enjoys getting tugged along, besides we do try to do things she can be interested in too. We've started packing more picnic lunches and visiting state parks and playgrounds along the way. The things you see and learn--simply amazing!
Taylor, my little miracle!
I've got a couple posts that I think you all may enjoy, but this was hard to do! I'm not very good at making decisions or trying to decide what everyone may want to see (it's the people pleaser part of me) I don't want to disappoint anyone! So, to get out of this awkward spot I'm going to point you in a direction and let you go!
You can check out any of these to get you started:
Mackinac Island
Sandy Hook--yes it is!
So sit back, have an umbrella drink and kick off your shoes...put those tootsies in the sand! If nothing else you can do what I do--Just look at the pictures!
Until next time...

Happy SITS day! I haven't had a chance to look around yet but just wanted to tell you I'm a Michigan Native. One of my all time favorite places to visit is Glen Lake, MI and the Manitou Islands. Have you ever been there? If not you have to go! There is a beautiful light house on an island that was once a logging community and is now pretty much deserted. It is such a beautiful place and so much to see including shipwrecks! Well, congrats again! Have a great weekend!
Happy SITS day!
Happy SITS day! We're determined to take our little dude on our adventures too!
Congrats on your SITS day! Hope you have a mah-ve-lous day!!
