Lovin' the Weekend Blog Hops

Welcome to Lovin' The Weekend Blog Hops with your co-hosts:

Karen from Tots and Me, Rena from An Ordinary Housewife, Erin from For Him and My Family and Aurie from Our Good Life

Thank you to every one who has stopped by, whether this is your first visit or you have been a faithful ongoing participant!

Please note, there are 3 linkies, please scroll down to the 3rd one to link up giveaways! Thank you so very much!

(Giveaways linked up to either of the other linkies will be removed. Thank you for your understanding.)

We would love for you to stop by all the co-hosts and follow us, then feel free to add your links to any or all of the following linkies.

We also randomly choose a Featured host each week. This week we are featuring Meredith from According2Meredith.

Here's what she has to say:

"I started blogging as a teenager, but I've been writing for as long as I can remember. I've created blogs on randomness, frugal living, yarn arts and now on personal perspective According2Meredith. I persist with writing to silence the curse of my parents who said I was a horrible writer. I write because I have a high need for cognition and blogging gives me the opportunity to sort out my thoughts on the cards life has dealt me. The blog showcases my life lessons as a thirty-something college student who is remarried with special needs children. My key topics are adoption, relationships, Christianity, and special needs. Outside of blogging, I am in training to become a school counselor and will eventually open my own counseling practice. I also train in martial arts with my family, three dogs, 9 fish and two snails. I love my life."

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. We 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? We're looking forward to getting to know our readers better.

Here's how this blog hop works. We would appreciate it if you would follow Tots and Me, An Ordinary Housewife, For Him and My Family and Our Good Life then please head on over to our Featured Host and follow as well. If you no longer have GFC please follow in some other way. After that there are three different linkies 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 Tot's and Me's sidebar). We'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. We'd love to meet some new friends this weekend.

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, there are two separate blog hop linkies.

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. We will follow you back if you follow us (just note which one you are linking to):
