There's a Party Going on Right Here

Today is my birthday! And.....drum roll please.....I am also the Featured Blogger at SITS. What a great day!

Welcome SITStas! Who or what is SITS, you ask? SITS is a huge, diverse group of bloggers who offer support and comments to others; truly a unique community in the blogosphere.

When I started blogging I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. Gradually it became a very important (and sometimes all consuming) part of my daily life. Soon after getting started, I was introduced to SITS. Along the way, I have been entertained, educated and encouraged by so many.

So let me tell you a little about me. The title and design of my blog, It's a Jungle Out There was inspired by a safari in South Africa a few years ago.

Unlike many in SITS, I am not a WAHM or a SAHM or even a mother. Married for nearly 25 years to a man who made me giggle and blush at 16, I do, however, have a wonderfully blended family that includes two stepchildren and five grandchildren who often find themselves mentioned in my posts. In my day job, I'm a full-time Realtor who finds time to be involved in my community. I'm a traveler, animal lover, photographer and genealogist. Life is good.

Want to know more? Take a look at the posts I've linked below. Hopefully you'll find them interesting, maybe a bit entertaining, and worth sticking around for more.

Our neighbors are from South Africa and they tell us such amazing things as well as some pretty funny terms that we have vs what is used in South Africa.

Hey, you gave me a present on your birthday? No fair. So now I'm following you back. And I'm #101, but you're only #40 on my little affair, so your gift was bigger and shinier. But I do what I can. You post pictures of graceful wild animals, and I post shots of my 4 year old with marker all over her face. I'll try to jazz it up in the years to come...
