On Valentine’s Day, I had the honor of being the featured blogger at SITS (Secret Is In the Sauce). Due to this, I’ve met so many wonderful bloggers, and am still catching up with comments.
I was taken aback, though, when I realized I had been censored. The first thing I noticed was my blog header was cropped, removing me entirely.
My interview was very nice, but I was startled by the warning posted at the end.
Luckily, the turn out was incredible, and those that commented were supportive of my header.
Later I realized that my favorite posts were not included in the published interview, so I’ll include them here now.
Here are 3 of my personal favorite posts: FB Profile Hack combines humor and tech, while A Haunting at Chuck E Cheese adds humor and photoshop to the supernatural. The salacious Man Stories took me out of my comfort zone which I found exhilarating.
I’m not sure how featured bloggers are chosen, but I can share how I was picked. In October 2010 I was contacted by one of the SITS leaders and asked to host a “tribe” (group of bloggers with similar style). For my efforts, I would be featured. A few months later, I received a schedule with a tentative date for being showcased, and was interviewed via email prior to the Valentine’s Day.
All in all, I am still a member of SITS and encourage you to get involved if you haven’t already.
• Is your header censor-worthy?
• Do you read blogs with your child/ren on your lap? (I actually do!)
• Which celebrity would you photoshop your head onto?
I don’t know how the ladies juggle all that they do, but they manage to lead bloggy boot camps, feature a daily blogger, give helpful advice, organize & lead tribes, and have just started a book club. Are you as exhausted as I am? Be sure to check them out.

Next thing you know, I’m back peddling and hosting a Vermont Teddy Bear give-away. If you’d like to be eligible for the Jean Has Been Shopping teddy bear, leave a comment below.
First off, our oldest daughter was finally accepted to a local, private school. She had been on the waiting list for four years, and being accepted was like receiving a golden ticket. You may or may not be familiar with the drama we experienced at Montessori, but we are pleased that she excelled at public school and made the transition to this private school with ease.
