I feel like I’ve been holding on to this secret ALL SUMMER LONG! But finally, today is my SITS Day!!!

Welcome!!!!
*hits my dougie*
For those of you who don’t know, SITS is a wonderful group of 40,000 women bloggers dedicated to supporting one another by leaving comments and learning about blogging. I am honored and soo happy to be the featured blogger for today! If you want to know more about SITS and want to join the community, start here.
For those of you who are visiting for the first time, welcome to My Life! I blog about struggling to find that perfect balance between work, motherhood, wifehood, and having time for me all while chugging Starbucks by the gallon! And I can usually be found either with my iPhone or Canon in hand to document it all.
To get a better feel for My Life, you can check out the posts featured on the SITS Girls page today OR you can also check out these for a feel of what goes on around here…
- The one where I took photos of New York at 1am…….
- The one where a popeyes french fry almost killed my baby…
- The one where I talk about my job as a Labor and Delivery nurse….
- And finally, the one where I talk about dealing with this 2 1/2 year old who thinks he is grown….
Well! That’s me!!
Feel free to stick around after you get to know me!

Happy SITS day! It’s so great reading your blog. I have an animal protein allergy. Not as bad as wheat but still stinky. I look forward to reading more!

Happy SITS day! Your son is adorable. I really enjoyed your featured article on taking your son to the zoo. My room mate has a 1 year old and she LOVES water. She loves the pool, the bath, drinking it, ect. I’ve been wanting to take her to the aquarium but my room mate and I thought we would wait until she was a little older and would remember it more. Now I’m kind of nervous because she does get cranky and we can’t ask her what’s wrong because she just cries while we guess what’s going on. LOL She’s a little princess though.
Congratulations on your SITS day. I hope it’s a great day for you.
Your header is lovely and your boy is beautiful!

Aghhhhhh!! This is so exciting! Congratulations, momma! *claps hands with glee* This was some secret you were holding on to! You didn’t even slip up once while you were in New York! Well deserved. You’ve got a story to tell through words and photographs and it’s been great being part of your audience.

OMG your little man is adorable!!! Happy SITS Day!
Congrats! Your boy is adorable. I have been reading about your experiences with his wheat allergy… my boyfriend and I are doing an elimination diet to test for allergies which means no gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, sugar, etc. for several weeks….. so I can relate to the challenge, wheat is in in so many things, isn’t it! For us the end is in sight, unless a reaction shows up when we introduce gluten in a few months. For you it’s a much bigger challenge. Best of luck and continued good health for your son. Great to meet you through your blog!

Hope you’re enjoying your day (your son’s such a cutie)! Loved the NYC pics – Manhattan’s the only place I feel safe walking around alone late at night. And I have the utmost respect for nurses (in high school, I candy striped in my local hospital’s L&D unit).
