Today I am so excited! I am the featured blogger at SITS. What's SITS you say? Well...it stands for the Secret is in The Sauce and it's a fabulous community of bloggers that love supporting each other and comments. If you love comments too then you need to go HERE and learn more.
I thought I would share a little bit about myself for those of you that are visiting me for the first time. I'm a domestic goddess and stay-at-home Mom to a set of Irish twins (they are 10.5 months apart). To answer your first question....Yes, I know how that happened and no one was as shocked as I was. I used to say that raising Alex and Mallory as twins was a piece of cake and I'd recommend it to anyone but then Mallory turned 2 years old and I take all of that back. Life is crazy and hectic and I drink a lot of coffee and wine.
When I'm not
I've been married to Calvin for 5 years and we relocated to Utah from Denver in 2006 when he took a job working as a Software Engineer on a very special project for the space program. We miss Colorado and hope to get back there someday.
I'm looking forward to making a ton of new friends today and hope to meet many of you at SITScation in October!

Hey! A hearty howzit from sunny South Africa. I,too, share your love of trashy reality tv but I do have a severe averson to COOKING!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are 10.5 months apart? Omishatteredcat. I thought my life was hectic....I started blogging when they were 6months, 2.5 and 5.5yrs old; they are now 3,5,8 and the sun is starting to shine in my life again!

Congrats on being chosen as "featured blogger". Woo Hoo:) Your little ones are adorable, too. I always thought that being born in the same 12 months was called "greek twins", so I learned something today.
