Happy SITS Day! – It’s a Party!

I’ve been at this blogging gig for four years now.

 

Sometimes it seems like yesterday that I started, but then I go back and look at pictures and realize that my kids have really grown and oh my – where did all of those wrinkles come from?

 

And just like my sagging face and growing children I see this blog-land evolving daily.

 

But the one constant in this land is the support, friendship, love and community that I’ve found through this sport(and I call it a sport because I’ve decided that sitting on my butt for a few hours a day with my fingers quickly working must be a sport right? Has anyone figured out yet how many calories blogging burns? Wait, I don’t want to know. Let’s just continue calling it a sport, mkay?)

 

So I am glad there are communities like the SITS girls where we can find each other and cheer for each other, cry for each other and most of laugh and celebrate this beautiful thing we call life…because that’s what this is all about right? Life. Finding connections. And laughing as much as we can.

 

So I’m honored to have my SITS day today.

 

If you are here for the first time from SITS – my name is Tracy and I write mainly a humor blog. Or if you must – a lifestyle blog with a humorous twist as I document the lighter side of parenting. OHMYHECK so dang official, right?

 

I am married to one husband and we have three daughters. I am a work at home mom as I stay at home and work in fashion and do some freelance writing(and looking for more..hint, hint…) I wrote about my work at home journey here as I begged you all to stop the mommy wars. I also offered wine.

I write humor and but can be incredibly sentimental and serious at time when it comes to my kids as I truthfully started this blog after my forth miscarriage as I needed a space to heal. It worked. Blogging is amazing.

 

If you are wondering about my unique blog name I suggest you start here for some answers.

 

I dabble in photography and my goal is to take it a step further this year.

 

I also obsessively chat fashion which pretty much puts my husband to sleep.  Whatever works, right?

(memories captured)

I pretty much just want this to be a place where you can cozy up with a girlfriend for a cup of coffee and spill your secrets while knowing that they are safe with me because we all need a place to unwind and relax and have a little fun now and again.

 

Thank you so much for the visit. I am so happy to meet you.  I hope you stay around awhile. I don’t bite. Well not hard anyway.

 

Would love to also connect with you on twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest! Feel free to subscribe via RSS if you’re in the mood. Totally worth your time. xo

About Tracy


My name is Tracy Morrison and I live in sunny Minnesota. I'm neither British nor a nun - I'm just a Midwesterner with a headache. This is mainly a humor and lifestyle blog that documents the lighter side of parenting. I am an ex-corporate ladder climber turned freelance writer, social media manager, and fashion expert - and ruler of my own little universe(very small). Aren't we all. I would love for you to contact me at tracy@sellabitmum.com

    Happpppppppyyyy SITS day!

    Having a SITS day, what a huge thing.

    And to all of you here VISITING for the first time: you are going to love Tracy, you can’t help it, and you will love her site.

    She gives you everything. Everything: style, humor, love, bittersweet, reflective, smart, funny, and PHOTOS.

    The PHOTOS.

    So, yeah, don’t try to resist: just add another blog to your reader.

    Because,you’ll be back…you know you want to.

    Just remember, though, it’s got to be Tracy without the E.

    Pssst….freebie for the newbies here: she’s a secret motorcycle mama.

    Hot dayum, amirite??

    And then it’s all good.

    HAPPY SITS DAY, T!
