Friendly Friday Blog Hop

Welcome to Friendly Friday!
Remember, YOU can host the link list on your blog too! Just click “Get the code here…” at the bottom of the list. 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 for everyone to get even more traffic to their blog.
Thanks for joining the Friendly Friday celebration hosted by Christi at Frugal Novice, Xenia at Thanks, Mail Carrier 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! 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. We would love for you to also grab our Friendly Friday button and post it on your blog and/or in a post – the more bloggers that find out about Friendly Friday and participate, the better!
Spotlight on Friendly Friday Followers! We love your participation and want to show it! In addition to gaining followers, each week we’ll select three blogs at random and will feature links and a write-up for those blogs in the content of next week’s Friendly Friday post. There are so many seriously wonderful blogs out there, and this will be a great way to highlight some of those each week. Say hello to the lucky chosen 3 for this week (and feel free to stop by and give them a little extra love):
If you’re like most people, you fall into a rut of cooking the same meals over and over again. Well, Inspired 2 Cook can help pull you right out – this is a blog all about recipes, and it’s filled with a variety of meals that are sure to add some excitement back into your meal planning. She takes her own photos, which is really nice so you know what you’ll be ending up with! All recipes posted on the site have been tested by the blogger, so you also get a review before you go to all the trouble of making the meal.

Debra at Since That Moment writes about life since her son Matty was born in 2009. She says at the top of her blog, “3.26.2009. A boy named Matty was born. I would never be the same,” a sentiment I think all moms would agree with. Debra loves photography and poetry too, and shares some of her work on her blog. You’ll also find recipes and posts about day-to-day life with her husband and adorable son!
Roz at La Bella Vita says that her blog is a written and visual journey about all the things that she considers beautiful in her life. She likes to use her blog as a place to reflect on the beauty God has placed in her life. On La Bella Vita, you’ll find beautiful photos of her gardens, great recipes, and links about Italian life. Roz hopes that after visiting her blog you feel inspired to welcome more beauty and deliciousness into your life.
Now that you know about these 3 wonderful blogs, it’s time for you to join in! Add your family-friendly link below and we’ll see you back here every Friday! And don’t forget, you can grab the code to share the link list on your blog too.
All three hostesses appreciate followers through GFC and Twitter, and we’ll follow you back – just leave a comment with your URL for GFC. I haven’t been able to follow everyone back because of not having the URL.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Romance 101

What is the number 1 complaint from women in committed relationships? Not enough intimacy. The second half of the year is the worst for intimate encounters. The end of summer brings Back To School excitement and hectic schedules. This is followed by the Holiday Season that brings high stress, tight budgets, and more often than not flared tempers.
So how does one feel sexy after all of that!? The need for intimacy does not diminish; rather it is placed on the back burner of our minds while we tackle more meaningful tasks. But what is more important than strengthening the intimate connection in your relationship? Below you’ll find some tips and tricks you can utilize to enhance the romance in your love life.


• A night of great sex starts in the morning. Leave your lover notes around the house, in his briefcase etc. I recommend the 52 Naughty IOU’s.
• Leave him text messages describing the evening you have in store for him.
• Plan out your evening and keep your toy box stocked! Try something new and exciting to add some extra spice!
• When the kids are away the folks will play! Use every opportunity to spice up your relationship.
• Enjoy your partner and don’t skimp on the foreplay!
• Try the 30 Day Sex Challenge. You have to do it. No matter what. For 30 days. Check out the challenge at - http://www.relevantchurch.com/30dayblog.html
• Communicate about your needs and desires.

I hope these tips help aid you in quest for a more meaningful fulfilling relationship with your partner. For info on the latest Passion Parties products or for information on how you can stock your toy box for free or at a discount, check out my website at http://www.IndyPassionLady.com
