Stop and Stumble Saturday Hop 9/3

Stop and Stumble Blog Hop

StumbleUpon is perhaps underestimated in the blogging world. Personally, I really enjoy StumbleUpon! Once it “learns” your interests, it gets much more fun as you stumble through new and interesting websites and posts. And who doesn’t love discovering awesome new blogs!

For this hop, I have two amazing co-hostesses. There’s TJ of Measuring Flower and Marie of Howard house Reviews

What is StumbleUpon?



StumbleUpon is a way to discover and share awesome websites. To get started in the fun, you will need to open up a StumbleUpon account (or you can use your Facebook profile to log in). Follow the prompts! Click on the categories and things you like. Next, install the toolbar/extension/bookmark (click the link to get started). Then, when you’re on the web and you stumble upon an awesome recipe or tutorial, share it on StumbleUpon by clicking on the thumbs-up icon on your StumbleUpon toolbar. It’s that easy and it’s that awesome!


What is a StumbleUpon Hop?

StumbleUpon brings more exposure to your website and pages. Therefore, a StumbleUpon hop is where bloggers help other bloggers out by increased the exposure to those pages. This hop’s intent is to not only help your blog get noticed to other stumblers, it is also to help you find cool  new blogs and make new friends! Be sure to stop by every Saturday to stumble new blogs!
