Almost one year ago I sketched out a sexier version of myself wearing a hat topped with PB&J on wheat, scanned it into the computer and step-ball-changed into the fast lane of blogging. OK, so I’m more of a jalopy clogging traffic. But I try! I joined up with
and immediately filled out that infamous little “feature me I’m desperate form.”
I can’t think of a thing to write about. I’m dancing center stage!
Months of hilarious outtakes from my life with 4 men, mortifying mommy moments, and just plain parental bragging have come together to turn the crazed twitching of motherhood into a perfectly spasmodic choreographed dance…
But the rapid growth of the twins and the midget triplet have added a few new items to my crown making it quite a load to dance under at times. The onslaught of impossible questions from Twin B, emotional outbursts of Twin A, and absolute defiance of the little dictator guy sometimes make me want to run and hide from the responsibility and future indictements of blame if I don’t get this job right.
The Mommy Mambo helps me fix the broken heels of my dancing shoes and find the humor in the most trying days or haircuts . And I hope it will do the same for you!

Happy SITS day!! I am a new follower. Cant wait to read all about your little guys!
Thanks for stopping by and for following along! So far this day is so awesome! (that is between laundry and milk poured across the kitchen table…)
You are awesome! I am excited to have found you, also being a mama to three very small boys. I love your sense of humor! Enjoy your SITS day filled with lots of love!
carina@a punk, a pumpkin and a peanut recently posted..it’s love
So you know all about the Mommy Mambo!? How old are your guys? Hope to see you back on my dancefloor again soon!
Congrats on your SITS feature! And congratulations for having multiples AND three boys under six AND still being alive! How do you do it?!? You’re my hero!!!
Deep breathes. Mommy time-outs. And wear em’ out as early in the day as possible. It works. OH and an occasional bottle of Kendle Jackson Chardonnay
yay! congrats on the long awaited SITS day! I’m hoping for my own someday
Glad I found your blog.

Thanks! Dance on back soon! And good luck in that long line over at SITS
Happy SITS Day! As much as they cause a ton of chaos, I wouldn’t trade my children for the world. I’m sure your 3 boys bring you a lot of joy.

Congratulations on your SITS day. I hope it’s everything you’ve been wishing for.

Lovin’ it! Found you via SITS and I’m a mamma to Twins (plus their baby sister). I’m notorious for doing silly-mummy dances in my kitchen just to see those giggly smiles on my girls! I’m more the Mummy-Fandango, myself. Cheers from Australia xxx
Jess WhoaMamma recently posted..Mummies are Magic
Well sounds like we have opposite problems! I’m drowning in testosterone and you are washing away in estrogen! LOL
Your Mommy Mambo is probably prettier than mine, as is your crown, but we are soo in the same boat. And lovin’ every minute of it!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you dance on back soon.
I love that drawing! I had fun looking at all the little details. Happy SITS Day!

Oh good, you perused my crown of crud! What’s on your crown? Thanks so much for stopping by today. So far this day is blog-awesome!
Congrats on your SITS day! I love the drawing! Can’t wait to explore your blog some more!
Barbara recently posted..Vlog: Italy
Please do! And follow along and come back everyday. (OK that might have sounded desperate; at least once a week will do) Thanks for dancing along today!
You’ve only been blogging for a year? I’m impressed. You must be doing it right, judging by how many followers you’ve got! It’s nice to meet you through SITS!
Lynn from For Love or Funny recently posted..There’s a bird of prey on my thumb, and I like it.
Really? Cause I was wondering if after one year I was seriously lagging in improvement and followers? I’m not big on hosting giveaways (mostly because I can’t get anyone to give me anything to give away). I like to keep it real! All about the creativity and sanity outlet!
Your comment has renewed my sense of accomplishment. Thank you. And come back anytime
That’s some crown! Sometimes I wonder how we mom’s stand up straight under all that stuff!
Great Sketch! Happy SITS Day!
Sorta Southern Single Mom recently posted..PYHO: Another Mother’s Child
Yup. And there only 6. 12more years and I’ll be the hunch back of the mother game! LOL
What’s on your crown weighing you down? I’m sure its a fantastic load to bear. As is mine!
YAY! Congrats on your feature!
Your boys are very cute, very beautiful family!
Stephanie@Geezees recently posted..Back from OBX

Love your blog! Congrats on you SITS day! Very handsome boys you got there!
Thanks! I must agree. And I’m currently brainstorming ideas to keep the girls off my doorstep and phone lines in the near future
Congrats on your day!!!! Going to start reading now!

And I you
The flood of comments have been awesome and some have brought me to tears (especially yours). Thanks so much for being a great Mambo buddy!
Oh my goodness- how adorable is this lovely little boy-heavy family?!? I’m loving your writing style and humor and I cannot wait to stop by more often for a good laugh!!
Thanks for the fabulous comment about my writing style. I know I ooze sarcasm, but I’d like to think I ooze with pizazz….
Please follow along and dance on back often!
I do the Mommy Mambo myself sometimes, except I have two left feet and not an ounce of grace so sometimes I end up falling flat. I think you are hi-larious and I’m your newest follower.
Have a very happy SITS day!
OH NO! You don’t understand. The leap to a twirl and a face plant is a common yet difficult move in the Mommy Mambo!? Your doing it perfectly
Thanks for dancing along 
Happy SITS day! Love the sketch!
Ericka @ Creative Liar recently posted..My Resume. If I Weren’t a Mother.
Loved your comment over at SITS about trying new ways of expression with sketching! When I started this blog I tried to make up for what I lacked in tech-spertise with my pen and paper. And I discovered how much I loved to draw sarcasm! THanks for noticing
happy happy sitsday!!!

Awesome! I love your sense of humor to get through the tough parts of your days and to express yourself creatively!
Craftwhack recently posted..Eternal Grandma Ginia
It’s not always kicks and grins, don’t get me wrong, but I do try hours, days, even months later to look back and laugh it off. With 3 boys I have lots of material to work with for this blog! Thanks for the “awesome” comment and hope you dnace along again!
Happy SITS Day! Enjoy your awesome day!

Happy SITS’s Day! Your blog is wonderful.. and your boys adorable! We are sisters and have 6 boys between us… so, we know how crazy and fun an all boy household can be… Can’t wait to follow along!
Yes you do! WOW 6! That’s like a basketball team with a bench warmer to spare
I bet your toilets look worse than mine some days? LOL
Thanks for following along!
Hello again!…..little did I know, when I visited last night, that you would be the featured SITS blog today.
WooHoo!
Congratulations on your day in the SITS sun!
I hope your day today is most beautiful.
Robin recently posted..Wednesday Words
HAHA! Your visit was sincere. Love it. And thanks for coming back. Please dance back anytime!
You’re doing a great job! I love the focus, the style and the humor! You’ve done it in a very original voice, and I admire that– congrats on your SITS Day!
Leah Rubin recently posted..More of the Birds and the Boys
I love that word. “original” Awesome compliment! Its hard to be original in the blogging world and I’ve given it my best shot. Your comment made my day!
Happy SITS day to you! You have a beautiful family and I love your quote about dancing in the rain!
Paula@Simply Sandwich recently posted..Beware of the Burnout Monster!
Thank you. That quote has deep meaning for out family. See, I gave birth to #3 at a hospital that was then evacuated during hurricane Ike. All the while a tree was falling into our house and destroying it. Then to add insult to injury our insurance stiffed us on the rebuild.
But…..I couldn’t be more thankful that we were all safe and healthy staying with family until the ordeal was over. We danced in the rain!
Happy happy SITS Day! May you meet many new e-friends – love your humor and writing voice!
After today and all the great comments I really feel that I have a voice! Thanks for being a big part of that
Happy SITS Day! I love blogs that make me laugh at mommy moments — looking forward to following your adventures
Everyday Mama recently posted..Falling for a sale…!
Well I’ll do my best to keep the antics rolling on so dance on back soon!
Happy SITS day to you!
I am now your newest follower. Looks like you have your hands full with 3 active little boys. Hope you enjoy your fun filled day!
Tammy recently posted..Wordless Wednesday
Thanks for following. Its been a great day with best comments ever!
Happy SITS Day! I enjoyed checking out your site and I am looking forward to reading more by becoming a subscriber! I have one little boy but feel like it’s two sometimes (with my husband). And, I am at the point in my life when I want another child but it must be a boy! (Though, after reading about some of your adventures, I may change my mind and want to mix it up with a girl)…
Hmmm….can’t help you about trying for a girl, but we’ve got making boys down to an art form. (that rarely happens anymore due to said boys) You’ll love whatever you have so go ahead and give it a whirl. Who knows, could be twins!
This description sounds like my mind working and threw up on your blog!!! Ok, so I only have one child, two ridiculously crazy dogs (no, really, my son at age 2.5 said “mommy, these dogs are crazy!!), and a husband who is a perpetual child (the boy will be half asleep after 10 spankings, three trips to the bathroom, a snack, two cups of milk, and an episode of Mickey Mouse and he will start tickling the boy!!!), but my mind is constantly spinning like this!!! So happy that SITS featured you and looking forward to following you!!!
I had that day once…or maybe 3 times. Its all a blur, really!? Sounds like you’ll fit in nicely around here. LOL Do dance on back soon
Happy SITS day! I hear ya: everyone’s listening and you haven’t much to say at the moment! Just do what you do everyday; that has gotten you so much love! I hope you have a great day and I’ll be stopping back again!
Love your blog. Hopped over from SITS and can’t quit laughing. Your life sounds fun and fabulous…love the adventures!
Alene Snodgrass recently posted..The Cause Within You…
Glad you hopped over. Not sure about the fabulous part, but loads of fun, yes. And loads of fights, and tantrums, and dirt, and bugs, and pee on the toilet seat! And I wouldn’t change a thing. (well except for that pee part, anyways
)
Well…don’t think I could handle that many just yet but I am working on one!
Lovely boys and lovely blog! You are a strong woman to handle three boys under six!
Priscilla recently posted..Diet Fads
They say God won’t give you more than you can handle. I’m glad he’s got the faith in me! Somedays I wonder? Thanks for stopping by
HAPPY SITS DAY!!!
I’ve subscribed. I’ve been checking out the blog and I loooove what I see so far. I look to forward to reading more of your posts! 
PS Your boys are soooo cute.
Great! Glad you are perusing my dance floor. And thanks for the awesome compliment on my cuties! Come back soon
Happy SITS day! I waited over a year for mine too but it was such much fun when it finally happened!
Love your sketches… I had to go back and double check the PB&J & wheat bread on your head *LOL*. You have a great sense of humour and a 3 gorgeous kids!
zeemaid recently posted..Don’t Come to Me in A Crisis
It’s a main staple around here. Why not wear it on my blog. I certainly have it smeared somewhere on me at least 3-4 times a week! Thanks for the great comment and hope to see you back soon
I absolutely love your tag line! It is all about dancing in the rain, isn’t it?
Make the most of what you’ve got before it too slips through your fingers. I try to remember, even when I’m desperate for a break, that I’m going to miss this one day.
Congrats on your SITS day! 3 boys under 6 – oh my. You got to find a way to laugh at the 24-hr plight of mommy hood or it can take you down. And you’ve done it beautifully. May you keep this shiny, positive attitude all the way through the teenage years (good luck with that – I’m there)
Saying hello from hot and humid Baltimore, MD and from SITS. Happy SITS day! Enjoy the spotlight!
Joanne recently posted..The Blue Dress and other Fashion Feuds
Hot and humid, huh? I didn’t realize Baltimore MD and The Armpit of Texas had so much in common. I raise my sweaty glass of iced tea to ya. Cheers and thanks!
Great introduction to your life. Your boys looks super fly. Congrats on your Sits’ day. have great fun.
toi recently posted..Thoughtful Wednesday: Desperate Housewives?
I can’t wait to tell them they’re “Superfly!” That’s going to rock their world tomorrow. Unless they get it confused with that kids book Superfly Guy? LOL Thanks!
Congrats on your big day!! Hope it’s amazing. And I thought two boys under 6 was a handful!
It is. One more just gets to do what he wants. Cause I’m out of hands. I think I just answered my own question about #3′s behavior?? LOL
Congrats on your SITS day and may I just say that I love the dancing lady and the quote on your blog. =D
http://www.theblogforbrides.com
http://www.journeyofawoman.wordpress.com
Yes you may. LOL Living with small children (especially all boys) and loving it is like dancing in the rain. I try and find the fun and enjoyment in every moment. Each is a gift from God I know I’ll miss some day. THanks for stopping and dance back anytime!
Lol by far one of the most hilarious takes on a SITS feature! lol
Really! That’s an awesome compliment right there. I tried. And thanks for noticing.
I love your blog! Great writeup for your SITS feature. Congrats!

Brenna @ Almost All The Truth recently posted..The Oregon Zoo – fun, education, and conservation
I’m so much prouder of my sketches after all the great comments today! Makes me feel a little more unique in the blogging stratosphere. Thanks for the ego boost
I hope you’re enjoying your moment in the SITS sun. I have to say, I’ve read a lot of blogger spotlight interviews and yours was so refreshing. THANK YOU!
And I don’t know how you do it. Just found out I’m expecting my second boy and I’ve started building a bomb shelter. Seriously.
That’s not a bad idea. LOL You’re going to have soo much love in your lap. Boys LOVE their momma’s. That is until some hussy in a cheerleading skirt waltzes by in high school, I’m told. Soak it up while its flowing freely!
Thank you so much for the “refreshing” compliment! Made my day
Just arrived from SITS – new follower! Congrats on your big day. Love your concept and design. Totally creative.

Thanks so much! My sense of humor is best on paper. When it comes out of my mouth my sarcasm sometimes gets misinterpreted??? Imagine that!? LOL
Hey HAPPY (late) SITS day!!!!!!!!!
I stopped by yesterday to check out your FABULOUS blog and I totally forgot to comment!!!!!! Since Monday (my SITS day) I have been looking forward to seeing your blog and feature!!! Boy was I pleased!!! We could be sisters, I LOVE your blog! You can bet I’ll be back to see more!
Hope you enjoyed your SITS day!
Well glad you came back and put your stamp of approval on here! Thanks for the awesome comment and I do hope to see you dancing back this way soon!
Oh, you are soooo sweet + cute, momma
I love your blog and am so glad you were featured over at SITS today so that I could leave you some bloggy love. I dunno how you do it, but I do know that I have some very overwhelmed mommy friends who are flirting with the idea of blogging… and they need to come here. Thanks for the early morning laugh. Also? Your children are incredibly adorable.
Charlotte recently posted..the 10-hour date with ariel
This was one of the greatest comments I got for my whole SITS day! (tear) Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to look around. Please follow along and send your friends. If you can’t laugh about the chaos then what else is there? LOL Very sweet of you
So I’m pretty much behind on dang near everything, but I did want to stop by and wish you Happy SITS day.
I’ve been cracking up reading some of your posts and look forward to reading more.
Stephanie @ Our Marriage Adventure recently posted..Our State of Ovary

I don’t care that you are late. This experience has been so amazing and given me a serious ego and blog boost! THank you.
Mambo!!! You are hilarious – I’m loving your crown sketch! Watch out for that Wii remote…it could topple over and crush you!
Tammy recently posted..Strange beauty
OH that blasted Wii!! I loathe that thing. It is the basis for most of the wars and emotional outbursts in this house. I guess that’s not such a bad thing now that I think about it??
I’ve never felt so good about my “art” since having this SITS day!
Thanks for stopping by and enjoying my sketch
Love your blog… I definitely needed some laughter this morning. Happy SITS day finally!!! You have such a beautiful family

Jennifer recently posted..Memories Part III

Of course I would forget my web address to my blog and accidentally place a www in front of the entire thing. Ha!
Jennifer recently posted..Memories Part III
no prob
AWESOME site name. And wow, your boys are cute!
I admire your sketching skills. I’m too chicken to even try.

THanks for the great comment! Just grab a pencil, pen, pricked finger and give it a go. It took boredom and being stranded with nothing but paper and pen to dicover I could doodle!
Thanks for stopping by!
I just realized that by waiting a year for SITS feature, we discover a lot of blogs that we probably wouldn’t have found! Thanks to SITS (and the waiting list to be featured) I am finding all kinds of new blogs to follow
Like Yours!
