Let's Be Friends Blog Hop #99

Hi there! Would you believe what’s been happening to us this week?

After our 3 week vacation in CA with family, we traveled with both kids to San Francisco and then flew back to Texas.

We put our CA house back on the market and a week later accepted a fantastic offer, which has just been a whirlwind of emotions (more on this later!).

The day after we got home, I had a bad reaction to something I ate and got sick, and then my little AJ went and got himself super sick, with a 103 temp and a very junky cough that I am just starting to get now. Must be the fact that I was up taking care of him almost ALL night as he was struggling to breath 🙁 Traveling is always the worst for our health!

With ALL that being said….

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 99th 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! 🙂

Easy Cheese Ball Recipe

Hello everyone! This is Chelsee! I hope you all had an amazing New Years celebration! So last week I was scrambling around looking for a recipe for a house warming party. I needed something quick and easy recipe to make. This is one reason why I just adore this blog hop. It gives us all access to many, many blog posts that contain tasty recipes. This recipe from Merissa at Little House Living is just simply delicious. I felt it was one that we all could use in a pinch. It requires ingredients that most will already have in their kitchens. I felt I just had to pass this one along to you all:)

Oh and make you you Go check Merissa out and follow her blog!

Thank all of you for your amazing posts each week. I love reading all that you share!

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!
