Lovin' the Weekend Blog Hops: May 3-5, 2013

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

Karen from Tots and Me, Maria from Adventures of the Mommy Homemaker and Rena from An Ordinary Housewife.

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

I am sad to say that Maria will no longer be able to be a co-host after this week. I have appreciated all that she has done and she will be missed. However, that means we are on the lookout for someone to take her place as the 3rd co-host. 

(If you are interested in this position, please click here to fill out the form.)

We would love for you to stop by each of 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 from the Lovin' The Readers linky. This week we are featuring Stacey from This Momma's Ramblings.

 Here's what she has to say:

"My name is Stacey and I live in a small Midwest town in Illinois. I have been married to hubby number two, for eleven years and we have two kids together and I have a son from my first marriage. I am in my second year of home schooling my two youngest kids, and love most every minute of it. LOL! Three months ago I worked a full time job, for over eighteen years and I quit to become a SAHM for a couple of years...more if I can figure out how. I started "This Momma's Ramblings" in January to share my new daily adventures of being a SAHM, wife, teacher, maid, and every other thing that goes along with being a mom. I share random thoughts, recipes that I make, things that I have learned, and any other oddball bit of nonsense that pops into my head. Friendship, support, encouragement, and laughter are the goals that I hope to acheive and maybe bringing in a few dollars wouldn't be a bad thing either."

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, Adventures of a Mommy Homemaker and An Ordinary Housewife  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):

If you are interested in gaining followers to your blog who will read and comment and truly find an interest in your blog, link up here:

If you have family friendly giveaways to link up, here's your spot. Please make sure to include an end date for your giveaway.

We are so glad you stopped by. Please leave a comment if you link up and we will be sure to stop by and follow back.
