Welcome to another Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot hosted by Marsha in the Middle, Melynda from Scratch Made Food & DYI Homemade Household, Sue from Women Living Well After 50, and me. Look for the link party to go live on Thursdays at 9:30pm EDT.
Holy hot weather this week for many of us in the U.S.! I hope you are all staying cool and calm wherever you are. Or warm if you are in the southern hemisphere.
My daughter and I have been locked in the house all week, partially because of the heat and partially because she has had a cold that is now getting better.
Our portable AC units (the only ones we can use because of our windows that open out) have barely been able to keep up with the heat but we’ve been managing okay. We’ve been drinking a lot of water and eat popsicles and even taking cold baths and showers to cool ourselves down and so far it is working.
The first time I have to leave the house this week is Friday when I have to take my son to his friend’s house for his friend’s birthday.
How have all of you who are dealing with the heat handling it?
I’m so glad you are here and taking part in our weekly link-up of family-friendly, fun, educational, interesting, crafty, fashionable, and whatever else posts. I hope you’ll tell your followers about our post (feel free to copy and paste the graphic) and visit the blogs in the link-up. I know I have met some very fun bloggers that way!
Now, on to our most clicked posts this week:
|| Standing on Tip Toes by A New Lens ||
|| Ghost Outfits Are Forever by Marsha in the Middle ||
And here are my three highlights for the week (again, it was hard to only pick three – I enjoyed so many of them so please go back last week and click through the posts. You are still able to do that, even if the party is closed.)
|| The Sacrifice of A Father by A New Lens ||
|| Warm Springs Ranch by Old Rock Farmhouse ||
|| Road Trippin In The Midwest Day One by Amy’s Creative Pursuits ||
Now it is your turn to link up your favorite posts. They can be fashion, lifestyle, DIY, food, etc. All we ask is that they be family-friendly. You can link up posts from last week or even from years ago. We are always looking for additional hosts so let us know if you want to help out and we are also looking for more links from fashion bloggers so let your fashion bloggers know!
Also, please take the time to visit the other blogs on the link-up and meet some new bloggers!

I’m sorry it’s so hot. It’s hot here as well but that is our norm. This week it is predicted that we will have some 100 plus days. Yuck. This is my least favorite season. I stay in the house most of the time. I try and only get out when necessary.

Oh my goodness, Lisa! I’m keeping you in my prayers as you and so much of our country battle the heat! Here in Minnesota, we’ve had what seems like endless rain. This summer weather is something else! As always, thanks for hosting us all at this fun link up! We’re sharing #49, #50 and $51 today. Wishing you a lovely (and hopefully cooler) weekend ahead!

We’ve been inside all week partially due to the heat and partially to my middle son being sick too (well, my husband and oldest have been going to work each day but the rest of us have been staying inside). I really love that hike of Amy’s; it looks so fun!

I hope your son is feeling better. It’s a stinky time of year to get a cold because then you are sweating from a fever and the outside temps!

Oh, our second house had different kinds of windows, and lots of them were the kind that opened out. Luckily, one of the side ones did not so we could put a window AC in it. Eventually, we put in central air because that one big unit just couldn’t cool the whole house. Our first year in our third house (first one we built) didn’t have air. Mike thought we could do it. We didn’t…I insisted on the central air as soon as possible. I just can’t handle the heat. Let’s hope it ends sooner than forecast!

If we ever get enough money we are definitely getting central air!

I hope to be able to stay inside until autumn myself. That is my favorite season by far. It didn’t used to be. I used to dread winter but now I like winter because I have excuses not to leave and I can get under a blanket and just chill out.
