BLOG HOP: LINK-UP

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 52nd 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! :)

***This weeks featured post from last week's hop:


Hi sweet friends. This is Tiffany. I loved reading through all of the posts last week. This week I needed some comic relief. I instantly laughed out loud at this post. It is SO true. Social media makes me lose my mind sometimes! 

Tameka Brown's blog is refreshing. She is a humourous, fantastic writer. She has tons of followers, and I see why. I love her transparency. Tameka is a former high school math teacher. She has a bright smile and lots of enthusiasm for life. 

Her post, "Losing My Social Media Sanity", is short and sweet, but it gets to the point quick and leaves you laughing. She shares the realization that bloggers are not just bloggers, they are tweeters, pinners, instagrammers, and Facebookers. I remember realizing that for the first time too, and I was overwhelmed! Sometimes we all need a good laugh. I just loved reading her end line, "Good Grief, Charlie Brown!". Go check her out! 

Thank you all for your fantastic recipes, motivational posts, and heartfelt stories. I love reading about your lives. 

Keep posting awesome content! You make it so fun for me 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! :)
