What is a blog hop?

Being new to blogging, I had no idea what a blog hop was. The first time I became aware that blog hops even existed was when I discovered one over at Eclectic Evelyn’s website. Participating in a blog hop sounded like fun, though, so I decided to give it a try.

In the process I learned that a blog hop is a great way to find other interesting bloggers to follow. You get a chance to discover what you have in common with other bloggers and make new connections.

A blog hop can also be a fun strategy for promoting your own blog. If you are blogging as a creative way to catch-up retirement savings, you want more eyes on your blog.

I started down the herbal path years ago, when I surprised my husband by signing us up for a local introductory herb class. We both enjoyed being outside in the garden and the class sounded like something fun to do.

My husband and I liked to try new recipes, and we often experimented with herbs and spices. He had commented that our meals tasted so much more flavorful and looked more vibrant when we used fresh herbs from our garden.

The classroom smelled amazing, and I was hooked!

Little did I know that my new hobby would open up some fun ways to make extra money and help me catch up my retirement account . . . . .
