Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you have heard about and probably seen the Lip Dub video, which NPR called “a street party set to music.” Yes, Grand Rapids has lots to be proud of, including our local media. Welcome to another edition of link love!

Not  from blogs, but links I thought you’d enjoy just the same:

In season: What’s in season at the Fulton Street Farmer’s Market. (The Rapidian)

Eat the Weeds: A dandelion and violet salad from our own foraging guru Lisa Rose Starner. (The Rapidian)

Hudsonville Gets Brewery: A friend of ours is opening White Flame in September. Ironic that the city that once banned alcohol will soon have a brewery as well as the winery. (MLive)

And On to the Blog Hop . . .

This hop is co-hosted with Natural Living Moms. You can link up all week!

Before you link up, let’s cover the ground rules:

1. Link to a post relevant to the West Michigan area. This can include things like reviews, general discussion, tips on buying locally, etc.
2. Link not to your homepage, but directly to your post.
3. Make sure to include a link to this post! Collaborating with bloggers is a two-way street, we’re showing links to your site, make sure you link to this post and let your readers know what it’s about. (or simply copy and paste this at the bottom of your post: What to find out more about what’s going on locally? This post is linked to the West Michigan Link-Up, where you can see what everyone else is up to!)
4. Please publish your post with the above mentioned link to the link-up. So going back in every once in a while and adding it isn’t a major cause for concern, but y’all…….then the link to the hop never hits your subscribers.
5. Not mandatory, but if you’re looking to help increase the traffic for us local bloggers, read the other posts and share then via social media and sites like stumble upon. That’s just good blog kharma that will come back ten fold.
