We Wish You a Merry SITSmas & Lots of Linky Love!

Today we're spreading SITSmas Cheer! The Gals over at The Secret is in the Sauce are hosting the First Annual Merry SITSmas over at their place. Heather & Tiffany, SITStas Extraordinaire, are getting all Festive and Fun by hosting a Day of Linky Love. Please visit them for Gifts Galore, and Share the Comment Love!

I saved a FanTAbulous Foto for just such a post. Here's Big Bear, enjoying time with Grandma Vera. The Always-on-the-Ball Aunt Julie sent me this pic with instructions to use it for a Special Occasion, so here ya go!

Update on Snowy Sunday. Or, as we've started calling it, The Sunday Slip 'n' Slide. College Girl and The Wild One landed at the Milwaukee airport, no problem. They picked up their car from a friend, and started the hour-and-a-half trek to Larry U. About 50 miles short of their goal, they had to pull off the highway; it was either slide into a ditch, or try to wait the storm out at a nearby Exxon station. Big Bear, being the awesome Pop'rs Cousin that he is, came to the rescue in his Tahoe. The girls went back to the Scene of the Crime yesterday, and picked up their abandoned Civic after the roads were passable.

As part of Spreading the SITSmas Cheer, I also wanted to Share a Shout-Out. Or, Several Shout-Outs, to be More Specific! More than 68 percent of my Pop'rs Pals are Fellow SITStas, as well. Please visit these folks and Wish Them a Happy!

Wrap-up Wednesday

Help Save Ratchet!

I first heard about the Campaign to Save Ratchet from Z's Mom. Sgt. Gwen Beberg befriended puppy Ratchet while serving in Iraq, and sent regular dispatches to her home in Minneapolis charting the dog's process, with hundreds of fans tuning in on Facebook to follow the pup's life. But the US Army takes a strict line on soldiers befriending animals, and confiscated Ratchet just as Sgt. Beberg was getting ready to fly home last weekend. To keep Ratchet with his new "Mommy" and allow him to live (the military usually executes pets found under these circumstances), please Sign the Petition to Save Ratchet. Also, please consider donating to Operation Baghdad Pups, which tries to rescue animals such as Ratchet.

OK, SITStas! Time to Share the Comment Love!!

Today's Secret is in the Sauce Blogathon got underway at Midnight, and Heather and Tiffany--those Hostesses with the Mostesses--are going full speed ahead 24/7 today. They're out to prove that SITS--their site that Encourages Comment Love and Blog Support--is where it's at!


Veggie Mom her own self can attest to that very fact. Over the past few months, SITS has promoted my Pop'rs Giveaways (another one's coming up for Halloween, so stay tuned!) several times, and helped Aunt Julie plug her Recipe Week in September. SITS also helped me Celebrate My Bloggy Centennial a few weeks ago. I was a SITS Featured Blogger last Monday, and I'm still getting comments from that post. More than 100 Bloggers have Shared the Comment Love about those darned Goats on the Roof, and they're still comin' in--that's some powerful Comment Love, SITStas!

Heather and Tiffany started SITS back in June. It's a kind of Bloggy Clearing House for all kinds of info, including Recipes, Blogging Tips, Giveaways, Saucy Blogs, and a whole lotta other stuff that's impossible to mention...the List and the Love keep changing all the time!

So, who have I met on this Ultra-Cool, Très Chic (that's for Heather--she says "everything sounds fancier in French"), Uber-Happenin' Bloggy Rest Stop on the Information Super-Highway? All kinds of friends, is my answer! But the SITS gals wanted me to limit my list to five for this post, so here goes:

It's All About Making Friends!

First of all, if you're not a SITS Sister, you should consider becoming one! The Secret is In the Sauce is a, well, saucy little ol' blog, with quite a following, and lots of interesting and entertaining info. Tiffany and Heather run contests, offer advice, and generally have a grand old time in the Blogosphere! T and H refer to themselves as "two comment junkies who love to blog about life..." That pretty much sums up their happy-go-lucky take on Momhood and the world around them. As Tiffany and Heather correctly point out, "The secret to success is support," and they encourage lots of comments on their blog. They, in turn, are more than happy to share the love. Stop by to see SITS today!


Another great Bloggy Connection is the Carnival of Family Life, run by--Who Else?--why, Blog Carnival, of course! Each edition of the Carnival is hosted by a different blogger, who basically collects posts from all over the Blogosphere and organizes them under one basic theme. The current Carnival of Family Life is hosted by Mixed Metaphor, and showcases 34 posts of interest, ranging from Education to Parenting Tips and Advice. Also included are posts on Cooking, Chores, Fiction, Finance, Health, Humor and Family Travel. The next Carnival will be hosted on Monday by All Rileyed Up. So, if you've written a scintillating post recently--and I know you have!--please send it in before midnight tonight, using this handy-dandy submission form. You'll be glad you did!


And last but certainly never least, all the Blog "experts" say that another good way to get your blog noticed is by running a contest or a giveaway. Which brings me to my next point: Uncle Lynn, the Pop'r King, has authorized me to run another fun-filled Pop'rs Giveaway. We're launching the new contest on Tuesday, so make sure you're on board!
