Lovin' The Weekend Blog Hops Week 31- May 4th-May 6th

Welcome to the thirty first weekend of Lovin' the Weekend Blog Hops.

Come and see what is new!

Giveaway Linky is the bottom linky!

First things first:

Don't forget to check out my new co-host's blog

In case you didn't know, I have also started randomly choosing a Featured host each week from the Lovin' The Readers linky. This week I would like to introduce you to Julie from Naptime Review

Here is what she has to say:

" I was so honored to be featured on Tots and Me: Lovin' The Weekend Hop! It is so awesome how the blogging community really tries to help out other bloggers. It is great since I am brand new to this blogging world. I almost wish I would've taking Blogonomics 101 in college to help me navigate though my new hobby. My name is Julie and I am from Naptime Review. I just completed my first month of blogging and I am really enjoying it. I am a SAHM to 2 small girls and I have my Masters in Teaching and BS in Marketing and Sales. I love to find awesome and unique products and share them with my friends and family. I blog about health, fitness, education, and household items. I also share recipes and things to do with your kids. Most importantly, I contact companies and ask them to share special savings with my followers. My readers have received some great savings on meal planners, Babba box, 479 Popcorn, GiggleBellies, etc. I have recently created 2 blog hops during the week. Feel free to link up and join Mom's Monday Mingle and Favorite Product Fridays. I love blog hopping! It is a great way to network with others who share the same passion. "

Please make sure to stop by and say hi, let them know you are visiting from the Lovin' The Weekend Blog Hops. 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. I 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? Looking forward to getting to know my readers better.

Here's how this blog hop works. I would appreciate it if you would follow me, my co-host and the featured host via GFC. If you no longer have GFC please follow me some other way. After that there are three different linkys 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 my sidebar). I'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. I'd love to meet some new friends this weekend.

I have noticed that 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, I decided to create two separate linkys. 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. I will follow you back if you follow me (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.

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

Don't forget to check out my "Blog Hops" page for other great weekend blog hops!!
