Did you know I write weekly blogging tips every Saturday over at the SITS site? SITS is a community of bloggers who support each other through commenting. Each weekday a featured blogger is chosen and today is my day. I want to take this chance to thank all the SITStahs for the wonderful comments they leave on my weekly blogging tips posts and for visiting me here today.
A bit about me? I’m the homeschooling mom of two awesome kids. Logan is 11 and Cassandra is 5. Here’s a photo of us. I have been married to a fantastic, brilliant man for 16 years. There’s a photo of him here. I’m a big fan of Star Trek, Star Wars, Twilight, and Harry Potter. I’m reading Catching Fire now and would like to thank Tiffany at SITS for recommending the Hunger Games series. Awesome.
I like to design blogs and play around with SEO and social media. I’m a libertarian (quite sad today about the healthcare reform passage) who thinks the government should stay out of everyone’s business. I love to scrapbook and ski. I love to exercise, yet love food even more. And I’m always trying to be the kind of parent I want my kids to become.
I have been blogging since March 2005. I started out as PHAT Mommy and blogged there for 4 1/2 years. Then I briefly moved to Mom, Reinvented. And in just the past month, I’ve settled here at Mom Improvement. I’m not quite sure where I’m going with all these changes, but I think this will be home for awhile.
Want to read my life story? Start with “How Did I Get HERE?” That was several years ago, but will tell you a lot about me and where I’m coming from. I’m basically just a girl trying to make everyone happy, and have some fun for myself in the meantime. Life is good. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy SITS Day! As a fairly new blogger, I have to tell you I LOVE your Saturday tips. I started blogging last summer and only post about once a week (horrible compared to others – but it is not a competition – and this is all I can reasonably do). Your tips are fabulous and really help me to improve my blog. Although, I bookmark a lot for later. :-) Stop by for a visit some time!!
