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.
This week was a really rough news week for many reasons (reflecting on 9/11 today in addition to all of the other horrible news) so I had to withdrawal as much as I could and reach for comfort reads and watches. Plus, it’s fall and that’s the kind of stuff I enjoy reading and watching in fall anyhow. What kind of shows and books do you watch when you want to feel cozy and comforted?
Think of that while I introduce you to your hosts:
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: Creatively Beth
A little about Beth: Hey there, I’m Beth and Welcome to Creatively Beth where you will find crafts, DIYs, and printables that are fun, easy, and cute! I am the FUN Aunt who loves to doodle, paint, and create with and for the kiddos. I am a craft hoarder and a maker at heart who lives to stroll the clearance aisle and go thrifting.
Designing and crafting since childhood with my Gran I was constantly sewing doll clothes, learning needlepoint, making macramé plant hangers, and decoupaging EVERYTHING, but hey it was the 70’s! She was the true inspiration for my creative exploration, which continues to this day. (Read more at the link above!)
Thank you so much for joining us for our link-up!
And now some posts that were highlights for me this past week:
(Love this message of showing love)
Important things to know about the link up:
- 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!

Thank you for this resting space to connect, Lisa. It really has been such an intense week full of so many prayers. I like to read and watch garden journals when my heart is overwhelmed. God’s nature soothes my soul.

Aren’t those trees incredible? I kind of want to build something like that in my yard now (not that I have any clue how I’d do that!).

I picked that mosaic tree, too. I have always wanted to try something like that. I just might give it a try!
Thank you, my friend, for being there when I need to talk.
