Thanks for joining the Friendly Friday celebration hosted by Christi at Frugal Novice, Xenia at Thanks, Mail Carrier 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. 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):

Is there a mom out there that doesn’t feel like she’s trying to figure out how to do it all? At A Mom’s Balancing Act, Jenna and her adorable children give their honest, well-written opinions on products and services for parents, children and babies. Not to mention coupons, deal and money-saving tips that everyone can use and enjoy. You won’t want to miss the huge array of wonderful reviews and giveaways that are going on, especially right now during Jenna’s Gearing Up For Summer event!

How often do your kids say, “Ewww… is that for dinner?” In a quest to create more edible-looking meals for her children, The Bush League Cook was started to document one mom’s life and cooking experiences. Mixed in with her tasty-looking recipes and Profound Conversations that she has with her children (which are quite humorous), you’ll find her 100 Cooking Goals, many of which I would also like to try… particularly the completion of #87: Serve banana splits for breakfast. Yum!

There’s no way to visit Aubut Family and not leave with a smile on your face. Cassandra shares everything about life with her fun kids to random facts about herself to touring her gorgeous Arizona home to her love of pink and animal prints. You also can’t miss the long list of great reviews and giveaways going on and with Cassandra’s humorous and personal writing style, you’ll want to return just to see what product or post she is sharing with her readers next!

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.

We appreciate followers through GFC and Twitter, and we’ll follow you back – just leave a comment with your URL and/or Twitter username. Have a great weekend, everyone!
