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 family-friendly 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 great crafts, recipes, child-rearing tips and fun ideas to try with your kids, Holly at The New Hampshire Nanny has them all. With 20 years of nanny experience under her belt, it is no wonder that each of Holly's posts feature great pictures and clear instructions - and make her readers want to run straight for their art supplies or to the kitchen!

When it comes to a blog that makes you feel right at home, Steph at Sharing the Pages of Life knows how to make her readers feel welcome and keep the conversation going. As well as writing about her beautiful family and sharing pictures of her gorgeous daughters, Steph includes a spiritual aspect to each of her posts that will make you want to take a moment and worship right alongside her.

By taking "A brief look into life, going green, recycling & saving money," Anne at Mommy Has To Work shares a great collection of tips, reviews and giveaways for products for all aspects of life. From cleaning to music to decor to food, you'll find this working mom has an item that can help in your efforts to go green and along with her adorable children, she'll show you how.

Now that you know about these 3 wonderful blogs, it's time for you to join in! Add your family-friendly 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.

All three hostesses appreciate followers through Google Friend Connect AND Twitter and we'll follow you back - just leave a comment with your URL and/or Twitter username. Have a great weekend, everyone!
