Friday Blog Hopping!

Welcome to Friendly Friday!

Remember, YOU can host the link list on your blog, too! Just click "Get the code here..." at the bottom of the list. The code is different every week, so be sure to get the new code when hosting Friendly Friday on your blog. Hosting the list is a great way to get even more traffic to your blog and make Friendly Friday more beneficial for everyone.

Thanks for joining the Friendly Friday celebration hosted by Xenia at Thanks, Mail Carrier, Christi at Frugal Novice and Charla at Healthy Home Blog! We invite you to join us every Friday to make more friends in blogville, get more blog followers and follow other great blogs out there.

To join in the Friendly Friday celebration, include your link in our list, follow the hostesses in the first 3 spots and then start blog hopping! Visit other blogs on the list and comment to give them some blog love. Then take a minute to follow them through Google Friend Connect - this is a good way to keep up with other blogs, but also lets us show support to each other! Please DO NOT list your giveaways here, links must be to either your homepage or your Friday posting with your blog title. All others will be deleted.

When people comment on your blog and let you know they're a part of Friendly Friday, return the favor and follow them back. This way everyone gets traffic and followers out of participating, and it's a win-win situation. We would love for you to also grab our Friendly Friday button and post it on your blog and/or in a post - the more bloggers that find out about Friendly Friday and participate, the better!

Spotlight on Friendly Friday Followers!

We love your participation and want to show it! In addition to gaining followers, each week we'll select three blogs at random and will feature links and a write-up for those blogs in the content of next week's Friendly Friday post. There are so many seriously wonderful blogs out there, and this will be a great way to highlight some of those each week. Say hello to the lucky chosen 3 for this week (and feel free to stop by and give them a little extra love):

If you're looking for adorable kids, great reviews and giveaways, interesting personal anecdotes and fun memes to get to know other bloggers, you've come to the right place at The Life of Rylie...& Bryce, too! LeeAnn's honest, open and humorous writing style draws you in and whether you are reading her Saturday Playdate posts, tales of her family or about the latest product out there, you always end up with the feeling that you've made a great friend.

Maureen from Maureen Makes It! is talented in so many different ways! Her blog is filled with sewing, painting, cooking, tutorials, reviews and giveaways and is the perfect lead-in to her great Etsy shop. If you're looking for monogrammed towels, hand-painted wine glasses, throw pillows, wristlets, personalized backpacks and nap mats (think back-to-school!) and much more, Maureen's items feature hand-crafted beauty, excellent customer service and 100% positive feedback. Head over to find the perfect thing for your next gift!

Is there anyone who can't appreciate a blog titled Just Hide the Dishes in the Dryer? We've all done it (or wanted to) before! Reading through Jennifer's blog, it is difficult to decide whether to "awwww" at the great pictures of her cute kids or just laugh out loud at her hilarious stories - but you'll end up doing both! With posts titled Completely Random, I Nearly Broke His Finger! and Well Ain't That Just The Dog's Ass? you know that you're definitely in for a good time.

Now that you know about these 3 wonderful blogs, it's time for you to join in! Add your link below and we'll see you back here every Friday! And don't forget, you can grab the code to share the link list on your blog, too.
