Once upon a time there was a blogger. A relatively new, naive, innocent, countrified blogger named John Deere Mom. She had a few fans...devoted readers if you will. Readers like Deb, Teachergirl, Cupcake, Kat, Heather, Christy, the list goes on and on. Actually, it doesn't. It pretty much stops there.
BUT, that all changed on June 5, 2008 when I was the featured blogger (the second one ever, mind you) on a fantastically pink leopard print blog called The Secret is in the Sauce. An interesting tid-bit? I THINK I am the only blogger to also have a picture featured. Yes, it was the Russian Peasant in all her glory. Tiffany can't get enough of the Russian Peasant. And really, who can?!
SITS, to those of you IN on the secret, is a wonderful community of women (well, mostly women) bloggers interested only in recognizing awesome blogs and encouraging comment lovin'. And they have featured some awesome blogs. I have added more SITS featured blogs to my reader in the past few months than I have time for! But, I make time for them because that's what SITS is all about.
If you haven't yet checked out SITS, what are you waiting for? You will find new, wonderful blogs to read and when you are the featured blogger, your Sitemeter account won't even be able to keep UP with the demand. You will have more readers than you ever imagined. Here are just a few of the blogs I have found and continue to visit on a weekly basis:
Caroline
The Blarney Spot
Maternal Mirth
One Crazy Chick
On Tuesday, SITS is hosting an all-day Blogathon with crazy give-aways and surprises planned all.day.long. This is one day when I kinda sorta wished I was a stay at home mom. Ha. That will pass soon enough. Like when the kids wake up and start arguing. I won't be THAT sad to have to work. But for those of you who can take part in the SITS mania tomorrow...HAVE FUN!!
Great blog! Found you through SITS :)

I wish I had more time to devote to SITS, because they do have some great blogs featured. I'm barely able to keep up with the ones that I do read, let alone my own! I need another two hours in the day just for blogging :)
ReplyDeleteI love SITS. And John Deere Mom.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Lulu ... I also love SIT and JDM !!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI found you on SITS! =)
ReplyDeleteI love all the love-spreadin' that goes on there. SITS is awesome!
SITS Rocks! I love SITS. But I actually first heard of you from Kat's blog. I think I read one of your comment posts. Anyhoo, I'm originally from the great midwest as well. Born and raised in Hoosier land. Now living in Georgia. Thought I would say Hey!
ReplyDeleteCUTE blog!!
ReplyDeletei recognize a few of your "peeps"...so i am thinking i need to follow too!!
popped over from SITS, glad i did!
Great post, Girlie!!
ReplyDeleteFound you through SITS...uh awhile ago;)
Did not find you from SITS. Found you right next door, being all happy with that awesome class of yours while I got yet another email this morning from a different mom, talking about weird behavior. sigh.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I do love the SITS. I need to do better. I usually click on it once a week just to get the bold to go away because I have no time!
good luck SITSTA!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is an awesome day!! So much sits love going around.
ReplyDeleteOkay, the Russian Peasant may very well keep her title as the only photograph posted with a feature.
ReplyDeleteYou have been with us since the get-go girl, and we love you for it.
Thanks for supporting us. And, for that awesome stuffed mushroom recipe. And for having what might possibly be two of the cutest kids on earth.
I love that Russian peasant picture too. You need to get that one blown up and framed and on the wall. I am usually missing one or two of those steps with my good pictures :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that I knew you when. Pre-Sits :-)
Happy Blogathon-ing from one SITSta to another.
ReplyDeleteWe SAHM's will sherk our duties and have fun for you.

ReplyDeleteI wasn't a SITSta way back when, but that's cool that you were featured so early on. You have a cute blog!
ReplyDeleteYes, who can ever get enough of the Russian Peasant. She's so squeezable.
