it's a SITS kind of day

When I began Baby Meets City just over 2 years ago, SITS was one of the first websites I landed on. Basically, I wasn't sure what the heck I was doing, but I was intrigued by the new community I had discovered online and excited to be a part of it. These days, I suppose I'm yet another "mommy blogger," but the truth is, while the definition varies, I'm more than happy to own up to it.  The reason is simple -- this blog has given me a creative outlet that I was craving. I don't have the opportunity to write in my full-time job, so in a sense, blogging helped save my creative side. Writing again on a regular basis has given me a renewed sense of purpose and a motivation I was lacking.

... and for that I am IMMENSELY grateful.

In a way, to finally have my "SITS Day" means I've come full circle. I remember signing up for this special recognition and then totally forgetting about it as I became more involved with my own blogging, reading other great blogs and attending events for bloggers here in NYC (that's me below at the Madame Alexander doll factory- so fun!). To receive an email last week saying my SITS Day was finally here, well, that's like icing on the cake. I so appreciate this recognition, and it only inspires me to keep moving forward.  Thank you, ladies of SITS!

Last, but certainly not least, I'll save the biggest thank you of all for the 2 little ladies you see below. Baby Meets City began as a way of sharing my adventures in urban parenting in NYC, so if not for Toddler S I would probably still be spending my downtime twiddling my thumbs. Thanks to this sweet gal (naturally I'm biased), I no longer have any downtime at all. BUT- I also have an endless amount of things to write about. We all know life changes in an instant when you have children, and mine is no different. I am endlessly grateful for the blessings I've been given... my babies are happy and healthy, I have a supportive and generous partner in Husband, and I've enjoyed the experience of living 10+ years in the best city in the world... which happens to be more kid-friendly that you might expect!

Now that Baby Sister has arrived, our lives have changed even more. The adventure continues, and I do hope you come back again to join the ride!
