It’s an honor to be featured today on one of my favorite websites, a site I’ve been reading for several years for its great blogging tips and friendly community. I’ve utterly adored the photography posts, writing challenges and blog tips on SITS in the last year and am thrilled to become one of the women with her own SITS Day.
I’m Penelope, the mom of two boys and wife of a police officer. I’m the only girl in a testosterone filled house, but I’m definitely up for the challenge. I love to cook and do crafts, I’m creative, love Jane Austen novels and writing and travel, and I especially love beauty and hair tutorials. I love all things homey and healthy and pretty and sweet. Summer is my favorite season, and when my children are older I plan to take them and travel around the world together. I feel like everyday life is buzzing with excitement and there is so much to do and look forward to.
I share some of my favorite hair style tutorials at the bottom of my site (if you are looking for some great ideas for pretty summertime hairstyles), and I also offer links to some of my favorite marriage and relationship posts (because I’m a big believer in building a strong family and happy marriage), but I won’t make you scroll down. Instead, here are some links to favorite categories:
and my newest hobby, Photography!
I hope you enjoy visiting, and come back often for future posts. I have lots of thoughts spinning through my mind at all times, so I’m a big chatter, and I love twitter, so if you’d like to stay in touch and chat, email or tweet me.
I also LOVE Pinterest so feel free to connect with me (I pin a lot of food, beauty, fashion, and home stuff!).
Thank you Francesca, Tiffany, Ashley, Shell and Kathy and everyone visiting from SITS!
Happy SITS day! So exciting!
