Welcome to Friendly Friday!

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! NOTE: My Google Friend Connect badge is in the sidebar, and I will follow back! 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. If you’d like to post our Friendly Friday button on your blog or in a post, grab the link code at Thanks, Mail Carrier – the more bloggers that find out about Friendly Friday and participate, the better!

Remember, YOU can host the link list on your blog, too! Just get the InLinkz code from the link on any of the hostess blogs each Friday and copy it directly into your post. 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!

Happy Friday, everybody! Can you believe how fast this week went by? Last week’s refreshingly cool weather gave way to downright chilly, we’ve had the heat on at night all week. I wish it would stop raining so we could rake the leaves up and get the lawn mowed!

If you are following me on Google Friend Connect for the first time, and you have the Google Friend Connect widget on your blog, please mention that in your comment so I can visit you back and follow you, too!

Approved commenters will see up to ten recent posts to choose from when leaving their comment, please choose your Friendly Friday post if you did one. If not, choose a post you’d like me to read and comment on! Remember, your comments here are DoFollow, which means Google sees your link and follows it over to your site, giving you a tiny boost in your site’s page rank. It’s just my way of letting you know I appreciate you as a reader!

Thanks again for stopping by Table for Five today, hope you all have a great weekend!
