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. Please feel free to post new blog posts or old ones you want to bring attention to again.

Look for the post to go live about 9:30 PM EST on Thursdays.

We had a crazy heatwave for four days last week! Yuck! I locked myself inside but our small portable air conditioners (we have windows that roll out and not many other options for AC) couldn’t keep up so it was still fairly hot inside. My daughter and I froze wet washcloths and laid them on the backs of our necks, drank a lot of drinks with ice (not those drinks!), and took cold showers to keep cool throughout the week.

How was the weather where you are? Were…well, you know what I mean!

Now, let’s introduce our 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!

UPDATE This week we are spotlighting: Adventures in Weseland and it is fitting we are doing so because we were heartbroken to learn early Friday morning (after we posted his spotlight) that the author, Patrick Weseman, passed away this past week. Shelbee on the Edge has written a wonderful tribute to him here: https://shelbeeontheedge.com/in-memory-of-patrick-weseman-spread-the-kindness-link-up-on-the-edge-762/

A little about Adventures in Weseland: IJust me and my adventures in life. Life is an adventure and I try to have fun. I love being out in the world, taking pictures and being able to share them with people who come across my little space on the internet. Thanks for stopping by and peace be with you.

Thank you so much for joining us for our link-up, Patrick. You will be missed and our hearts go out to your family during this difficult time. I wish you were here to see the outpouring of love for you.

And now some posts that were highlights for me this past week:

Love these layered dresses by Kathleen

(Loved these tips by Real Food Blogger on eating healthy on vacation.)

(Interesting Thoughts Here by Pam from A New Lens)

So many fun activities for kids in this post from Our Grand Lives!

What a beautiful sunset by Selep Imaging!

Important things to know:

• You may add unlimited family-friendly blog post links, linked to specific blog posts, not just the blog.
• 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!
