Well today is the perfect day to introduce you to The secret is in the Sauce...or SITS as they call it. It is a blog that encourages everyone to leave comments...lots of comments on others blogs. We all know that "comment love" is the best! They also have some amazing contests with REALLY cool prizes! And they spotlight a special blogger each day who gets to be QUEEN! They link you to the best 3 posts by that blogger and give you a chance to meet somebody new. Today is their BLOGATHON which is a special day to introduce others, not only to SITS but to some of your favorite bloggers that you met there. We're supposed to each do 5 so here are mine....
The first is Anne Lefler....she blogs at "life just keeps getting weirder" I found Anne very recently...and I'm telling you people....you have GOT to go see her. Just a warning though...never NEVER EVER eat or drink anything when you read her blog. Because you will either suck the food and beverage into your lungs...or spit it out all over your keyboard. Trust me you are gonna be LAUGHING! This woman is nuts and in a good way...she is also the only lady who can make a mustache look chic!
I also met Gingela from "my dogumentary". Again...a very very funny lady. I guess I gravitate to blogs that make me laugh. I just enjoy the exercise laughing gives my tummy...it also is my excuse for not having to go to the gym..."hey I laughed today...whew what a workout". Gingela makes me laugh. And I love that she loves dogs! Hop on over there and say "howdy"...you won't be sorry.
Then there is a lady I know some of you already know...that would be Elizabeth over at "Thoughts from an evil overlord". It was actually Elizabeth that introduced me to SITS on her blog. The cool thing about her place is that she does all this research on blog sites and places that have great give-a-ways and other stuff you'll be glad to know. She does all the work and then shares her vast knowledge with us. She's very generous that way. She's also a really amazing lady who has lived through some trials with bravery and class. Quite an inspiration I must say!
One more blog I just recently discovered is called "Even the nice ones" It's another one of those blogs that make me spitlaugh. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't even know the creator of this blogs first name. To me she's just "The nice one". I'm a doofus and she can slap me upside the head next time she leaves a comment. But dang woman...put your name in your profile!!! Go visit her anyway! And ask her what her name is and then come back and whisper it to me. She does these really funny posts that make you squirm a little because you just know she's talking about you...well at least I did when she talked about "big hair". She's great...you'll love her!
You gotta go see Cheryl at "blue berry buttons" Not only does she have a beautiful blog. But this woman is the most generous lady on the planet and has a heart of gold. She makes these incredibly delicious dog treats! (well according to my dogs...I haven't tried one...yet...) Crumpet has asked her to marry him but he hasn't gotten a response yet. Check her out!
And now I'm gonna cheat just a tiny bit. I found one more new blog....kinda sorta through SITS...even if she isn't a member I'm gonna mention her anyway. Like I said I just love blogs that make me laugh out loud....and Jill over at "Jill jill bo bill" is that kind of woman. She is Hysterically funny. So funny in fact...I can even forgive her for being a dog hater! Go give her some comment love anyway. You'll be glad you stopped in.
And I know what you're thinking.....CRAP the last thing I need is more dang blogs to visit...my list is already a mile long and I haven't fed my kids in 3 days! I know...but let the little buggers scavenge for themselves...these ladies are worth a little family starvation!

Happy SITS! Your blog is so fun! And I always enjoy meeting fellow LDS members!!
Mrs. de Miranda is going to think I'm stalking her - she has been the commenter riiiight before me on the past several blogs I've popped in on for the blogathon today!
I share your disease of reading and reading and reading books, too, by the way - I read 3 or 4 books (other than the ones I read to my 5 year old, I mean) each week and also enjoy mystery thrillers! :D
Cheers and happy Blogathon day!
you have quite a cute blog here! it's my first visit from SITS today...you have great style...love the kitchen (assume it's urs...and the song makes me smile!!)))
Spitlaugh and family starvation. Awesome. Great post. Enjoy the Blogathon!! Hope your kids got a good dinner last night! :)
Hi NIkki!! I've been seeing that SITS thingy around Blogland and know Justine entered a recipe there, I think, and she won! I'll have to check it out. How are the little furry ones!!??
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
What a great post.
I am having a wonderul time with this Blogathon business.
Have a wonderful Blogathon Day!
I'll definitely check these ladies out later today!
I just went by Anne's blog and she's HILARIOUS! I'm so glad I found her through SITS! I'm afraid I'm going to have to move her into a category of her own in my reader just to remind myself not to read it during my lunch break!
I am not doing a SITS post today as I am celebrating my 100th post. Please stop by and enter my giveaway.
I've read your blog several times as I always seem to find my way here through the blog chain, lol. Never realized you were a SiTSah, too! Happy Blog-a-thon!
Morning Nikki! Thanks for the info! I usually keep going back and forth checking out blogs that my favorites visit all the time but it is embarrassing if they have live feed cuz they see me clickin on and off their blog when I'm going down their list of favorites!lol So recommendations in a post are easier!(did any of that make sense?? 1 more cup of coffee please!lol) Have a great day. Off to check your new friends out! Til later - Jeannette
Happy Blogathon Day! Great site here, love your blog descriptions...i'll be sure to check them out!
Thank you SO much for including me! I feel so honored! And yes, I'm with you--great minds! haha I hope you have a great blogathon day! I'm off to read blogs while I'm supposed to be working---OH WELL! :)
You are so right about more blogs to visit... this blogathon is sure making my list grow! Great blog! I'll be back!
when creating my blog I very nearly named it the Blah, Blah Blog as well :) Love the title!
Happy SITS day supercute blog!!
I love love love your blog. Happy Blogathon Day!!
Hi Nikki! Just stoppin in to say hi! Hi! I'm still hard at it, you know once you paint and look at the base boards they need painting and then there's the ceiling. Does it ever end? Deb
YIPPEEEEE--I love fun blogs (that's why I visit YOOOOU!). I look forward to checking out these spots!Dana
Hi Nikki...hey, with all of your blog list that you can keep up with and still work and read and travel and so on & so forth, I think I surely could add a few more to check out...especially if they're worthy of your laughing spit & sputter...LOL ;-) Bo
Thanks girl!!!! I have something for you, too at my joint. Hope you don't already have one. There is no exchanges...
Happy blog-a-thon! I love to laugh, thanks for sharing!
hey lady so I had to stop buy after you left a comment that you 'need the cool points' on somebodies blog - it made me laugh - and now I'm listening to your song - and I really really really need it!
Happy Blogathon, SITSta!
Have fun with the blogathon! love some SITS.
Great post! I love that there's blogs in your list that I haven't read yet! Have a great day!
Happy SITS day!! Very cute animals!
Lord give me strength and endurance! I already have so many to try and keep up with! (gulp) and the blogopera~~~I will try to visit these soon;) French
Can anyone just join? I'd love to meet some lovely ladies!
Okay, I am going to look, but I do believe you're going to be in trouble with me.
I just found you, and you have made me love your blog. And, now you're going to compound it by "forcing" me to go fall in love with more blogs.
I'm going - kicking and screaming and protesting. I guess actual sleeping is over-rated anyway - right?! And, spitting helps with weight control - right?! ;-)
It's a little scary, this blog world. I jumped in without thinking what was out there. Lol. I just thought, "Eh, sounds like a personal journal on-line to share with family and friends"
What little did I know ~ so many friendly folks out there in this world. Ok Ok... I've seen the SITS thingie 5 times today - something is telling me to get thee over there!
Ha! Love that last paragraph!
I'm popping by via SITS...fun, fun!!
Thanks for the tip Nikki! Can't wait to check out some new FUNNY blogs:)
Thanks for the list, if they are as funny as you I am sure I will enjoy them!
Laura :)
Hey Ms. Crumpet,
Susan here...go ahead...slap it...you know you wanna...stop denying it.
You are HILARIOUS... who cars if the family eats... momma's gotta blog! LOL... I think my kids would say that about me!
Kewl!
You part about the kids scavenging for themselves made me lol...did you see Desperate Housewives on Sunday? Hilarious! The 2 moms toast and tell each other they are great moms...then the kids come down and ask for food and the one mom says, 'get it yourself and bring mommy some ice for her drink!' Too funny ;)
Bella
Okay, I am going to have to starve my family a little longer and go check out these fun blogs! THANKS!
Awesome blog :D Happy Blogathon SITSta!
Hey Hey Hey!
Happy Blogging! :)
Happy Blogathon Day!
Happy SITS Day!
Crapola, I'm supposed to be doing homework right now, not perusing more blogs, lol!!!!
Happy SITSathon!
Nikki, you are just full of recommendations and I am going to give them a whirl. Nothing is better than a good belly laugh. If I was giving blog advice, I would tell everyone to visit you. You make me laugh often. You are funny and rank high on the laughter scale.
Hugs, Jeanne
Hey MOM, I check ed out some of your recommendations...I must say that most of the humor was over my head...I must not be OLD enough yet :D remember you love me /giggle. I did however find some entertaining blog pieces :) I LOVCE YOU THE MOSTEST!!

Hi SITS friend! Love your puppy pics
Meaghan
By the way Nikki, I am enjoying the Salt City candle. It burns sooo nice!!! Thank you again.
:) Tracey
*snort* You read my mind! The last thing you wrote was EXACTLY what I was thinking! Where am I going to find the time to add more blogs to my list of favourites in this all consuming, crazy addictive, blog habit I have? I'm going to have to start a group therapy club or something, soon. Bloggers Anonymous.
Must. stop. now.
Hey, thanks for visiting my blog today and for the kind words! Hope you had as much fun as I did prowling around checking out all the blogs!
- Margaret
Beautiful photos!
Thanks for your link suggestions!
~Amber
Oh. My. Total. God.
My wrists have fallen off from commenting (and eating Doritos). What an amazing day, huh?
Thanks again so much for linking to me! I just had the best time and you were crackin' me UP! It's after midnight now and I'm toddlin' off to bed but wanted to say one last howdy...
You're awesome!!!
Talk soon!
XOXO
Anna
NIKKICRUMPET! Wake up and go check out the SITS site! Hurry hurry! (It's 3:19 am on the East Coast, BTW.)
Woo-Hoo!
XO
Anna
Thanks for visiting my blog. I can't wait to read more of yours. SITS is awesome, huh?
Hey! Thanks for all the comment love this morning!!!! We seem to be travelling in the same blog circle and didn't even know it! I know most of those guys you listed......Love your blog- so glad we met!
(p.s. your header is so cool- is that your kitchen?
Girl! Get to SITS!!!!!!!!! You're a winner! You're a winner!
Justine :o )
OMG Nikki, you're a WINNER! But we all new that. Thank you for thinking of me again and congrats on your winnings. I was MIA for a few days (you know those dog bones can get to a women):) anyways, I finally have a reply.
AGAIN, CONGRATS -- YOU ARE A WINNER AND SUCH A SWEET LADY!
Cheryl
*ahem*
My sincerest congratulations on your big Blogathon win, you luckiest woman in the whole, wide world!
No, really, it isn't absolutely killing me to say that. I swear. I wasn't ready to sacrifice my kid (and quite readily also my husband, cat and the kid's evil carny goldfish) to win the one prize that you won. I wasn't making bargains with the Giveaway Gods, offering them my very soul for that one, teensy thing that I coveted more dearly than the blogosphere itself. Honest.
I must be off now, to dismantle the shrine I'd set up in anticipation of my win. Ah well, I suppose it is more appropriate to display Kiddo's art on the fridge, or at least more traditional..... ;)
Enviously yours,
Heather the heartbroken
Seriously though, *many* congrats and ENJOY your prize! :D
Cheers!
WOO HOO for You! Congrats on being the big winner!
How Fun! I will check these blogs out!!
I know what you mean...I have so much to do..WHERE am I? at the computer!!!!
It is addicting! Do we all need an intervention??? They should do a reality show on BLOGGING!!!
-Sandy Toes
I will give them a visit! Thanks for sharing them with us. Nancy
Congratulations on being the grand prize winner! I am highly jealous as I heart George Clooney, so if you want to get some martini stuff from me as a trade, just let me know!!
*whistling innocently*
Oh, I love t-shirts.
Yep, that's what it is. I don't, you know, have a specific post label for George Clooney on my blog. Nope, I'm a HUGE t-shirt girl. That's the ticket.
Okay, well, I am HUGE at any rate.
:D
Cheers!
congrats on winning the grand prize!
u r the grand prize winner!!!! woot woot!
Congrats on the grand prize! I love the song you have going with this post, too cute!!
BTW, you've been tagged!
OMG... you are the GRAND PRIZE WINNER... CONGRATS!!!!!!!
Congrats on your fabulous win SITS-ta!
Hope that you had a lovely SITSA day!!!!!
