I’ve recently discovered the beauty of blog link ups where lots of different bloggers can come together and share their posts. \u00a0It’s a great way to for bloggers to support each other and get some new exposure but it’s also an awesome\u00a0way to find great new blogs and other great content!<\/p>\n

I’m pretty picky about which link ups I participate in, though. \u00a0Any blogger knows that participating in link ups can be very time consuming and that is part of the reason I’m picky. \u00a0But the main reason I’m picky is much simpler: I don’t like all the rules.<\/p>\n

It’s not that I’m not a rule follower, in fact I’m an avid rule follower which is why I won’t participate in link ups where I don’t want to commit to following the rules. \u00a0I’m tired of following people on social media as a rule of linking up only to not be followed back (sometimes even when it’s a social media link up!) \u00a0I don’t always have the time to read and comment on the ten posts before mine and truthfully, sometimes those posts don’t interest me and it’s hard to come up with something intelligible to say. \u00a0And mostly, I don’t want to cover my posts with other people’s badges.<\/p>\n

I understand the rules and why they exist which is why I choose not to participate at all if I don’t want to follow the rules. \u00a0But what I am looking for in a link up is simple: 1) I want more people to see my writing and 2) I want to find new bloggers I connect with and can follow.<\/p>\n

So, here’s my solution: Share it Sundays.<\/p>\n

\"SiS<\/a><\/p>\n

The rules for participating are simple:<\/p>\n

1) Leave a link to your most recent best<\/em>\u00a0posts<\/strong>: stories, crafts, recipes, tips, pictures and wisdom\u00a0or previous items that are relevant to today. \u00a0It can be a blog post, a Pin, an Instagram pic, BUT, no sponsored posts, product reviews, giveaways or anything else that is not 100% from your heart. \u00a0And please, be respectful and keep it family friendly: passionate words are fine, unnecessary cursing is not! \u00a0(Feel free to leave 1 post for every 10 in the link up!)<\/p>\n

That’s it. \u00a0That’s all\u00a0you<\/em> have to do. But what\u00a0I<\/em> will do is share each post through the week on one of my social media channels using #BeyondMommyingSiS.<\/p>\n

If you want to get more involved, I encourage you to visit a few other posts on Beyond Mommying as well as\u00a0read through the other links dropped by other bloggers. \u00a0Leave a thoughtful comment or just say “hello”.<\/p>\n

Share other posts that move you, the more we all share, the more we all gain. \u00a0Anytime you share, use #BeyondMommyingSiS so we can all follow each other’s shares.<\/p>\n

If you want to connect, follow me on Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, Pinterest<\/a>, Instagram <\/a>or google+<\/a>. \u00a0Give me a shout out (I’m @BeyondMommying on\u00a0everything<\/em>) and I will follow you back.<\/p>\n

And if you love the link up, why not share it, too? \u00a0Just don’t forget #BeyondMommyingSis!<\/p>\n

So that’s it: drop your link and have beautiful\u00a0day!<\/p>\n
