Grilled tailgating food at it's finest! Tumbleweed Contessa gets us ready for gameday with her grilled Sausage and Pepper sandwich.

Taylor Made Ranch provided us with some sound financial sense. Just because we bring more money in, doesn't mean we have to increase our spending habits.

With Halloween right around the corner, Scarlett's Excellent Adventures gave us some excellent pre-trick or treating meal ideas. 

Alright, so after the kiddies are all tired from trick or treating, the parents can relax with this awesome martini, courtesy of Vashti Quiroz Vega.

Kinda sums up our hop! Just like this post from Menopausal Mother, she makes a love/hate relationship with football list that I'm sure plenty of us are feeling as we enter week #7.

This is the hop where you link up your best post of the week, tailgate recipes, DIY decor, whatever you want, then go and enjoy the games.

Blog Hop Blitz Week #5

Full speed ahead into Week #5!

How have you been spending the football season so far?

Made anything interesting?

Here's one of the things I've (Tiffany) been up to:

My husband is a HUGE fan of the Jacksonsville Jaguars (yeah, I know). In an effort to raise his spirits and send some mojo to Jacksonville, I am embarking on making a football wreath. I was inspired by Mom Paper Scissors who linked up with us on Week #3 of the Blog Hop Blitz.

My lovely co-hosts have been busy, teaming up to host/co-host the Four Seasons Blog Hop. Week after week, these ladies are showcasing awesome recipes and blog posts. 

And speaking of co-hosts...

You think we've been busy, check out our Most Valuable Bloggers (MVBs) from Week #4:

A Purpose Driven Wife gave us some ideas on how to create the family night atmosphere.

How about some Halloween Witch cupcakes? This Ole Mom provided a great tutorial on how to create these delightful, frightful treats!

Perseverance at it's finest! A Daily Dose of Del Signore defines perseverance in her triumph over losing and maintaining weight. 

Our own Betty @ A Gut and a Butt found some awesome pieces at the Atlanta New Earth Festival.

Check out our Football Blog Hop Blitz Pinterest board, where you'll see all four MVBs pinned.

This is exactly what this hop is about: doing/creating things we enjoy while the football season rolls on!

Blog Hop Blitz Week #3

The air is a bit more crisp.

The official start of fall starts on Sunday.

We are well underway with the football season.

We are forever banning the existence of the football widow, unless of course, she's a bigger fan than he is! She has her head in the game because she's joining our team and linking up her tailgate recipes, game day decor/rituals, inspirational posts, funny posts, her best post of the week. She's sharing all of this here at our Blog Hop Blitz!

Now, give a big shout to the team:

Terri and Shawna from Easy Life Meal and Party Planning are two amazing sisters who team up to produce amazing foods. They've kicked off the fall season with their Four Seasons Blog Hop.

Check out co-host Betty's amazing weight loss, let her show you how to maintain your new body over at A Gut and a Butt.

Stay in shout mode, cause here are our MVBs from last week, Week #2:


Lydia's Flexitarian Kitchen cooked up some awesome meatballs, perfect for game day. They look delicious!

Here on our hop, we enjoy any link that you link up with. The old saying goes "laughter does the heart good", Starting Over...Again provided us with a bit of humor. Keep the laughs coming!

What would game day be without some salsa? Turnips 2 Tangerines gave us not one, but 2. Who's gonna be brave enough to try the Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa or the Salsa Verde? Both look yummy, bring on the tortilla chips!

Congrats to the Week #2 MVBs! All three will pinned to our Football Blog Hop Blitz Pinterest board.

Alright, let's do this! But before you link up, be sure to grab our button, letting everyone know where your linking up this football season.

Blog Hop Blitz Week #2

Week #2 looks to bring some heated battles to the field:

Eli vs. Peyton (brothers who come from a football legacy family, they play on separate teams, Peyton is the oldest).

Seahawks vs. 49ers (showdown on the west coast, both teams have sensational, young quarterbacks).

Your tailgate recipes, game decor and rituals, your best post, being put on display (you, yes you, linking up your best of the best).

Speaking of the best, here is our awesome host team for week #2:

Terri and Shawna, from Easy Life Meal and Party Planning are two amazing sisters who team up to produce amazing foods. Hopefully, some of their skills will rub off on me.

Betty shares her victories of weight loss and how she maintains keeping it off over at A Gut and a Butt.

Jessica gives us a peek into her Wondering Brain, sharing insight on being wife, mom, and doctoral student.

Please be sure to show them some love by clicking their linky to follow them. 

Alright, the moment you've been waiting for, well, one of the moments you've been waiting for! Right before you link up, take a look (and a follow would be awesome) at our Week #1 Most Valuable Bloggers (MVBs)!

1. Thank you Esther at Enchanted Beginnings for getting us in the spirit. Esther points out "10 things she loves about football season". She gets us motivated while...
2. Getting Stuffed takes care of our hunger pains with her Buffalo Chicken Mini Muffin Poppers. 
3. The title says it all, "I don't care for football chili" from Such a Mama! She found a way to cope by making her chili and now, hopefully, linking up with us every Sunday. 
4. This Picadillo Stromboli Braid from Sourdough Native made our mouths water. Simply delicious!

We had an awesome time picking the Week #1 MVBs. All 4 MVBs will be pinned to our Pinterest board for additional exposure.

One more thing before we get to the moment you've been waiting for. Grab our Blog Hop Blitz button (say that 10 times fast), letting everyone know where you're linking up this football season.

2013 Blog Hop Blitz - Week #1

Que the music (imagine the NFL theme music), bring on the food, and link up! Let the Blog Hop Blitz commence!

Who are you representin'?

Welcome to week #1. Our blog hop is seasonal, coinciding with the 17 weeks of the NFL football season. 

Blog Hop Blitz gives football and non-football fans another way to increase readership/followers blog traffic. How? Well, we play the game by linking up our blog posts of tailgate recipes, games decor projects, cool game rituals, game field trips, you get the point. Maybe you've got a post about overcoming adversity, like many football players, tell us about it. Don't have any football related posts? No problem, link up your best post of the week. After that, be sure to leave a comment, spread your football knowledge, ask a football question (we've got some knowledgeable football co-hosts) or even give a shout out to your favorite team!

As an added bonus, each week you will have an opportunity to vote for our MVB, Most Valuable Blogger. That MVB will be featured on Saturdays as our pre-game feature and will also be pinned to our Pinterest Community Board, generating more blog traffic!

Introducing...me and my crew:

Go ahead, grab our button, show where you're linking up this football season!
