Friendly Friday: September 24th

Welcome to Friendly Friday!

Remember, YOU can host the link list on your blog, too! Just click "Get the code here..." at the bottom of the list. The code is different every week, so be sure to get the new code when hosting Friendly Friday on your blog. Hosting the list is a great way to get even more traffic to your blog and make Friendly Friday more beneficial for everyone.

Thanks for joining the Friendly Friday celebration hosted by Xenia at Thanks, Mail Carrier, Christi at Frugal Novice and Charla at Healthy Home Blog! We invite you to join us every Friday to make more friends in blogville, get more blog followers and follow other great blogs out there.

To join in the Friendly Friday celebration, include your family-friendly link in our list, follow the hostesses in the first 3 spots and then start blog hopping! Visit other blogs on the list and comment to give them some blog love. Then take a minute to follow them through Google Friend Connect - this is a good way to keep up with other blogs, but also lets us show support to each other! Please DO NOT list your giveaways here, links must be to either your homepage or your Friday posting with your blog title. All others will be deleted.

When people comment on your blog and let you know they're a part of Friendly Friday, return the favor and follow them back. This way everyone gets traffic and followers out of participating, and it's a win-win situation. We would love for you to also grab our Friendly Friday button and post it on your blog and/or in a post - the more bloggers that find out about Friendly Friday and participate, the better!

Spotlight on Friendly Friday Followers!

We love your participation and want to show it! In addition to gaining followers, each week we'll select three blogs at random and will feature links and a write-up for those blogs in the content of next week's Friendly Friday post. There are so many seriously wonderful blogs out there, and this will be a great way to highlight some of those each week. Say hello to the lucky chosen 3 for this week (and feel free to stop by and give them a little extra love):

Blogging about fashion, fun, baking and decorating ideas are some of the things Rebecca writes about at I Just Cherish Today. She is madly in love with her husband and started her blog to showcase building their first house together and decorating it. But it has turned into so much more with her theme being to cherish each day and the opportunities that are right in front of us.

Over at The Frugal Free Gal, you will find a very frugal military wife and stay-at-home-mom to a two-year-old daughter. She loves using coupons, finding good deals at thrift stores and getting things for free or almost free. She gives God the credit for giving her financial wisdom these past few years. By being frugal, she can help others in need in the future.

Teresa at Grammy Girlfriend has been married to her wonderful husband for 38 years and has two children, two children-in-law and four grandchildren who call her Grammy. She loves her family, blogging and so many other things and she writes about all of these as well as her beautiful Christmas and fall crafts - which include a fall wreath she plans to post about soon.

Now that you know about these 3 wonderful blogs, it's time for you to join in! Add your family-friendly link below and we'll see you back here every Friday! And don't forget, you can grab the code to share the link list on your blog, too.

All three hostesses appreciate followers through Google Friend Connect AND Twitter and we'll follow you back - just leave a comment with your URL and/or Twitter username. Have a great weekend, everyone!
