Let's Be Friends Blog Hop!!

That's right!!! You get 2 posts from me today!!!


Welcome to the Let's Be Friends Blog Hop!

A blog hop is a set time frame for current or aspiring bloggers to find new blogs and quality content. It is a great way to make new friends and find inspiration! It is also a fabulous way to promote your own blog and posts.

Dear Friends,

What a day to celebrate! This is the 69th week of the Let's Be Friends blog hop! Thanks for joining us on this special day. Chelsee and Tiffany are extremely delighted to see the way this hop has grown and love to see your faces each week! 

Join us every Tuesday at 7am (MST). This blog hop focuses on content. LINK UP YOUR FAVORITE POST from last week in this fun content-sharing blog hop! I love the idea of blog hopping, but I love the idea of reading posts and quality content on new blogs I've never been to even more. Instead of simply linking up your blog button, you are now able to link up your favorite post you recently wrote. Have a delicious recipe to share, DIY tutorial, or heartfelt post? Share it with us! All hosts and co-hosts put up some unique and fun content from the past week. Make sure to check them out. P.S.- you may still link up your blog button and blog name, but it is encouraged to link up your favorite post instead. You will get more page views and interest if you do so! Some of the most successful blog hops I have participate in focus on content rather than just exchanging follows. You never know who will become a loyal follower or pin that delicious new recipe you posted!

The BEST part of this blog hop? Each week there will be a WINNER! That's right, each week we will choose one lucky blog to feature from the previous week's hop. This hop receives thousands of page views every week, so your blog will have the chance to be center stage for free. You must follow all the hosts and co-hosts in order to win. Only those who link up a specific post are eligible to be featured! *You must follow all the hosts and co-hosts in order to win.

The last exciting change is that the co-host spots will now be available to all sponsors of  The Dwelling Tree or Southern Beauty Guide. If you are interested in co-hosting the blog hop, email Tiffany or Chelsee about sponsorship opportunities and how to co-host the weekly hop!

There are a couple of great giveaways going on right now at Southern Beauty Guide and The Dwelling Tree. Go check them out! :)

The 15 Second Kiss

Hello! This is Chelsee this week.  So you all impressed me so much by the posts you submitted last week! I have to thank all of you for linking up and giving me some great posts to read! This week many amazing posts were submitted and many of them I referred a few friends to for them to also enjoy. I personally love reading about your lives and thoughts on just about anything, as well as seeing the delicious food you recently made! Some posts had me in tears and some made me laugh so hard I had tears rolling down my face. Anyways I would like to Thank all of you once again for your continuous support of this blog hop. I know that Tiffany and I sincerely appreciate it. I hope that you all continue to linkup your posts (not blog url) each week because I must say that they are all very interesting to read! 

Now onto the winner! 

I through reading all of your posts and found one that I just couldn't help but send along to all of my married friends.  This one really made me think a bit more about my thoughts on marriage. I find that Kirstie's post was so real and honest that I had to share it with all of you, in hopes that if you are are going through a rough patch that you think about the 15 Second Kiss. She expressed how much of a difference taking 15 seconds out of your day to spend time with your loved one makes on your life. I highly recommend that regardless if you are married or not that you head over and read this post. This post has influenced me to try to stop and smell the roses more often.

Go say hi to Kirstie today! I am sure she would love a comment from you! Be her friend and expect fantastic posts from her blog! 

Keep posting awesome content! You make it so fun for us to read all your posts! If you can, please link up a specific post. It makes it easier for us to come and visit! 

*Remember YOU can be next weeks winner! :)
