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 for everyone to get even more traffic to their blog.

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 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):

At A Houseful Of Boys it is a toss-up which is more adorable – the pictures in the header that show Michele’s three boys young and then in the exact same positions years later… or her amazing handmade jewelry – what talent! This is the type of blog where you feel like you are pulling up a cup of coffee and catching up with an old friend. Whether reading about her house of males, delicious foods or what being a mom to three boys entails, you’re always sure to have a great time visiting.

There are so many great things going on at Mommy 2 Two Girls! Having been a dedicated blogger for one year means it is time to celebrate and Eloise is doing it in style. However, not only does she have a huge list of wonderful anniversary reviews and giveaways posted, she is also thanking her readers for passing the 1,000 followers mark with even more special giveaways! Head over to find out about this blog-hopping SAHM, her two adorable girls and her wonderful husband what is keeping them busy and making them laugh today!

You never know what you’re going to get when “whatshername”, also known as T, shares at Little Secrets. Notes to herself, deep thoughts, beautiful pictures, humorous tales (have you just missed getting a traffic ticket recently, too?) or must-have products (a purse that can charge your gadgets with solar power? Amazing!) are just some of the many things that you’ll find. With a warm and friendly style, Little Secrets is a great place to find a new friend and a fun read about this eco and health conscious college student’s life in Detroit.

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.

All three hostesses 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!
