Ready to Make You Smile with #LOBS

Sharing is caring!

Kindness quote

Welcome back to the Ladies Only Blog Share (aka #LOBS).  This week we are celebrating Random Acts of Kindness week. If you’ve done something nice, or someone has done something nice for you, and you’ve blogged about it, we’d love for you to share it with us. If not, please feel free to link up any recent post that you feel would make us smile…recipes, crafts, inspirational stories, even how you’re dealing with all the snow days!

Random Acts of Kindness Ladies Only Blog Share

Before we get started with the party, I want to share something with you.

I read a post that really resonated with me last weekend, from Trish at DayngrZone, about #FF. I don’t want to assume everyone knows what #FF is, so I will explain. It stands for Follow Friday, and it is a widely used hashtag on Twitter for sharing favorite Twitter accounts with others. It’s nice to give (and get) a #FF.

The problem is, most of the time when you click Follow via a #FF, you have no idea why you’re following that person.

#FF (1)

Trish suggested an alternative that I really loved in her post 3 Tips to Grow Your Social Networks and Improve SEO. Instead of just throwing those #FF’s out there, why not tell people WHY you want them to follow someone, in the form of a blog post?

So, with that in mind, I am going to share with you some blogs that I have come across this week during the SITS Girls blogging challenge for #FF.

First up, Mila at Girl and the Kitchen. If you like good food, you need to visit Mila’s blog! NOW. (Well, maybe not right this second, but after you read this and link up with us.) I think I’ve pinned half the recipes on her blog already. Do you know how to roast the perfect garlic? Make Chicken Kotletky? And then there’s the desserts…pass me the Nutella Fudge Brownies please!

Kim and Chloe at PopCosmo are in my group for the SITS challenge, but I actually “met” them a couple months ago. They’re a mom and teen daughter duo, and I love their blog! If you like fashion, beauty and DIY, they’re definitely the place to be. One thing I cannot wait to try is How to Make a GIF…without Photoshop.

Then today I came across Petro at The Seaman Mom, and she just happened to have a post up on a topic I am very interested in learning more about right now: How to Increase Traffic to Your Site Using StumbleUpon. Her post answers a lot of questions for this “stumbling newbie!” Thank you, Petro!

Before we head over to the party, I also want to share a great giveaway with you as well, in case you missed it on my blog yesterday. For more details, please stop over at Power Up on the Go with RAVPower®.

I'm a little out of the loop myself...I did the SITS comment challenge this last week and got really behind on everything else! I'm still playing catch up!! Craziness!

I like your idea for FF. I don't initiate it much but I try to follow whenever my blog friends do it. I trust their judgement to establish social relationships at least. I don't do much on twitter so I guess I'm not truly building relationships but I still do it nevertheless.

I loved Trish's idea too...I don't know if I will do it every week but this week I had some great ones to share and was excited to do it!
