Thursday is my SITS Day!


Howdy, SITStas! I just want to thank y'all for stopping by my blog for a look-see. Please make yourselves at home and feel free to look around.

Here are a few fun facts about me:
  • I have 3 blogs! I know - it's alot. But I've split up my blogging so that people can read what they wish. Besides this blog, I have a knitting blog and a digital scrapbooking blog.
  • I just launched a social network for moms -also called Momma 'Tudes. It's in it's infancy and I hope that I'll get oodles of members! {Hint, Hint}
  • In conjunction with my blogs and social network, I've launched the Momma 'Tudes Weekly Radio Show. It's live each Monday @ 1:30pm EST. We chit chat about knitting and crafting and some mommy stuff. Those who listen LIVE on Blog Talk Radio can actually call into our show and talk w./ us or enter the show's chatroom and chat with us DURING the show!! (If you can't listen live, you can subscribe to our podcast on iTunes - search for 'Mommatudes' under podcasts.)
  • I married my HS sweetheart and we've been together a total of 19 yrs, 12 of which we've been married.
  • I have 2 kiddos, 1 of which has Asperger's Syndrome. Our story is HERE.
  • I'm new to this SAHM thing and hope to get better at it!
  • I'm an avid knitter. I also crochet, scrap, and craft.
  • I joke ALOT. I have alot of serious challenges in my life with DS having special needs - so I love to joke and have fun with life.
  • We just moved the entire family from the Buckeye State to PA for their autism services. We still can't sell our house. But our son is so much better off.
  • I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE Twitter and am a social media addict. I'm known all over social media as KnitPurlGurl or as simply, Karrie
  • I'm a complete goober - In my spare time, I LOVE reading & writing Twilight Fan Fiction. I write at Twilighted.net
If you're just popping by my blog and you have NO idea what SITS is - let me explain. SITS is The Secret Is In The Sauce. It's a bloggy support group of sorts. It's an awesome place where bloggers go to meet new bloggers and find new and interesting blogs. It's AMAZING! If you get a chance, pop on over to SITS and join in the roll call!

Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to meeting all of you! Please visit again soon! :)

Best to you on the house selling. We moved from Fla to Ky last fasll due to hubby's job change and it was the scariest thing ever. Finally the right buyers came long, out of the blue from Montana - with cash! I still can't believe it! Keep the faith!

Mama Nut said...

Wow! We have a lot in common! My little boy has "special needs" too. People ask me all the time if he has asbergers, but he doesn't. I joke around a lot too, it helps me deal with daily life. It is really hard to have a child with problems.

I came by from SITS. Congrats on your special day! I'm off to check out your stuff.

Lacie E. said...

I am so excited to go and check out everything that you do, you are so involved I love it!

Lady Di said...

Happy SITS Day!! I read your story about your son. I too am going to a similar struggle with my son who is six. He has all the symptoms you described and we have even seen doctors and UC San Francisco because my pediatrician thinks he has Aspergers. However, as of right now the experts are leaning toward a ADD diagnosis. However, he also has OCD tendencies, is very rigid about routines and so forth. Not to mention his over the top obsession with tractors. Anyway, I am glad things seem to be getting better slowly but surely for your family.

Mammatalk said...

Sorry I am a day late! I hope you were lathered in lots of bloggy comments!

Chandy said...

Sorry for the late visit, but congrats on being featured!

Hi! Hope your SITS day was fantastic! Are you still reeling from all of the comments? Holy Canoli that is a ton : ).

I live in PA. How are you enjoying it? I live outside of Philly. I think the people are nice here. You have to let me know how they compare to Ohio : ).

I will pray today that your house sells quickly. I imagine that is VERY stressful!

Mama Nut said...

Congrats on your SITs day!!! Yay! I love your blog :) Off to check out your featured posts :)
