Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot where we offer a place for bloggers to link up and get a fresh set of eyes on their posts. We also feature one blog a week, letting our readers know about the blog, and providing a link so readers can learn more about it.
Look for the post to go live about 9:30 PM EST on Thursdays.
We have had some lovely sunshine and weather where we are this week. It’s been a long week, though, because my mom fell at home Monday. She’s okay but has had some other issues and my dad threw his hip out while trying to help her so the kids and I have been over there every day trying to help out as much as we can. It’s been nice to visit with them and be told how to do things again. It’s like living with them all over again. *wink* (Just a joke…it’s been nice to be able to help them.)
On to the show….
Your hosts for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot
Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity. Oh, who are we kidding? Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!
Melynda from Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household – The name says it all, we homestead in East Texas, with three generations sharing this land. I cook and bake from scratch, between gardening and running after the chickens, and knitting!
Lisa from Boondock Ramblings shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and more.
Sue from Women Living Well After 50 started blogging in 2015 and writes about living an active and healthy lifestyle, fashion, book reviews and her podcast and enjoying life as a woman over 50. She invites you to join her living life in full bloom.
We would love to have additional Co-Hosts to share in the creativity and fun! If you think this would be a good fit for you and you like having fun (come on, who doesn’t!) while still being creative, drop one of us an email and someone will get back with you!
WTJR will be highlighting a different blogger each week this year! We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello!
This week we are spotlighting: Lisa’s Notes.
A little about Lisa and her blog:
I’m Lisa. I write about how I see life and love in everyday moments.
I share my stories here.
- I live in an empty nest with my husband Jeff
- But I’m still a mom to Morgan and Jenna, a mother-in-law to Fuller and Trey, and Granna to four beautiful grandchildren
- I lead an online community for One Word of the Year
- I love volunteering for disaster relief, delivering meals to the disabled, working for common sense gun violence prevention, and promoting better climate science legislation
- I’m a 5, wing 4 on the Enneagram
- I can’t sleep late or for long at a time (yawn)
- I homeschooled my kids from K-12th and never was more challenged or learned so much
(Read more about her here.)
Thank you so much for joining us for our link-up, Lisa!
Everyone else, please remember that this is a link-up where you can share posts from the previous week or posts from weeks, months, or even years ago. All we ask is that they be family-friendly!
And now some posts that were highlights for me this past week:
I hit a “Wall” reading Amy’s post. Har. Har.
Important things to know:
- You may add unlimited family-friendly blog post links, linked to specific blog posts.
- Be sure to visit other links and leave a kind comment for each link you post (it would be too hard to visit every link, of course!)
- The party opens Thursday evening and ends Wednesday.
- Thank you for participating. Have fun!

Please do pray. I feel like I need to stay there but there are some logistical issues and they have told me to stay home for now. Not sure how long I’ll be able to do that.

I hope your mom recovers quickly from her fall. I remember those days of helping parents; it does have a way of returning you to being the child again, even though you’re now doing things that parents do. ha. But that’s great that you and your kids have been able to help both your mom and dad! Warms my heart.
Thanks for featuring my blog this week! I am thankful for each of you that cohost this linkup!
