Let's Be Friends Blog Hop

So guys, this is crazy! I've been suffering from a lot of physical and mental fatigue...we are wondering if it is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome...I'll talking about it with my doctor in a few weeks. And, we are packing up and getting ready to move on Saturday. Because of that, this blog has kind of taken a back seat. I want to have incredible content, with awesome images. I want to network like crazy and grow this little space of mine (while adhering to my mission of community and being true to myself). I also have so many plans to implement here, including starting a newsletter that I should've started sending out two weeks ago. I've also put She Teaches Fearlessly on the back burner and that has hurt since I am helping to spread the Gospel with that site. But, taking care of my mental health and being present for my family is more important than this blog is, even though I dearly, dearly love this little space of mine. So, please be patient with me for the next few weeks while we finish packing up, moving into my parents' basement, figuring out our place there, and as I make the move to WordPress at the end of the month. I love you all!
But, for today, I am really super excited to cohost the Let's Be Friends Blog Hop! I participate in this linkup every week! It's a great way to socialize in the blogesphere!

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 154th 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! **IMPORTANT HOUSEKEEPING NOTE! We are looking for co-hosts for our blog hop for FEBRUARY ! This is a great way to gain new followers and network with other bloggers! If you are interested please email thedwellingtree@gmail.com! Thank you!

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!

Photo Credit Blog Post: DIY Photo Blocks

Hello all! This is Chelsee this week. Do you love photo blocks? I admit I am a sucker for even the clear ones that are not as creative as the one that the one Laura made from Over the Apply Tree! I tend to browse pinterest looking for the cutest ways to display photos. When I saw the adorable photo block in this post I knew I had to make on for myself. I think the best part of this photo block guide is that you can go in many different ways in terms of design. Not only will this be the best decoration in my home, but also I can see myself giving this as a gift to friends to remind them of the memories we have shared. I highly suggest that you check out Laura's blog! She provided a quick and easy DIY for these adorable Photo Blocks! Thanks to Laura for linking up this post last week!
