Lovin' the Weekend Blog Hop


Welcome to the thirty-fifth weekend of Lovin' the Weekend Blog Hops.
Come and see what is new!

Giveaway Linky is the bottom linky!

First things first:
Don't forget to check out my co-host's blog
Adventures of the Mommy Homemaker

In case you didn't know, I have also started randomly choosing a Featured host each week from the Lovin' The Readers linky. This week I would like to introduce you to Jenn from One House Schoolroom


Here is what she has to say:
One House Schoolroom blog strives to offer our readers a wide variety of great homeschooling tips and info, great product reviews and giveaways, and networking opportunities.  We have been blogging at the One House Schoolroom for nearly 6 years and in that time we have shared many great stories from our homeschooling journey, given away amazing products, and made some lifelong friends.  Just this week we have launched the 2012 Great Homeschool Quest, an internet scavenger hunt with amazing sponsors and fun prizes.  This is a free event- open to everyone- so come join the fun!! "

Please make sure to stop by and say hi, let them know you are visiting from the Lovin' The Weekend Blog Hops. Don't forget to link up to the Lovin' the Readers Hop if you would like a chance to be a Featured host next week. Please comment with a way to contact you, especially if there is not an obvious way mentioned on your blog. I would love to include a little write up about you and your blog in the next week's Lovin' The Weekend Blog Hop post, including a link to your blog. And you will get to include the linky codes on your blog. Sound fun? I'm looking forward to getting to know my readers better.

Here's how this blog hop works. I would appreciate it if you would follow me, my co-host and the featured host via GFC. If you no longer have GFC please follow me some other way. After that there are three different linkys you can link to. Whichever one you choose to link to, please grab that button and share it on your blog (the codes are on my sidebar). I'd love it if you could tweet or in some other way share about this blog hop, the more people who know about it, the more potential visitors and new followers of your blog. I'd love to meet some new friends this weekend.  
I have noticed that some people are more interested in just increasing their numbers, while others really want people who appreciate their blog and want to keep up with their posts. So, I decided to create two separate linkys. The third linky is for you to link up your giveaways.

If you are interested in increasing the number of followers to your blog via GFC, Linky Followers, email, Twitter, Facebook or Google+ link up here. I will follow you back if you follow me (just note which one you are linking to):

Tots and Me




If you are interested in gaining followers to your blog who will read and comment and truly find an interest in your blog, link up here:

Tots and Me



If you have family friendly giveaways to link up, here's your spot. Please make sure to include an end date for your giveaway.

I am so glad you stopped by. Please leave a comment if you link up and I will be sure to stop by and follow back.
