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.
Today is my daughter’s 11th birthday so we started our day with a pancake breakfast at a local diner. This afternoon we had some pizza with her grandparents and this weekend we have a lot of other events planned, including a sleepover with a friend and a trip to a zoo called Reptileland. Yes, they have a lot of reptiles.
I hope all of you are having a great week!
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!
This week we are spotlighting: Bettie G’s RA Seasons!
A little about Bettie:
I’ve been blogging for a few years now, and thought it would be fun to share a little more of who I am with all of you.And in the process, I hope that you will feel comfortable to share a little of your story with me as well.
I was raised in a Christian home, and my Mom told me that I asked Jesus to come into my heart when I was only 4 years old. But when I was 9 years old, and sitting in my Sunday School class listening to my favorite teacher praying, I suddenly realized that I could not remember telling Jesus that I wanted to live for him. That conviction caused me to stand up in front of all my friends and say that I wanted to spend my life following Jesus forever. It’s been an adventure ever since.
Thank you so much for joining us for our link-up!
And now some posts that were highlights for me this past week:
Such a relaxing post from Thrifting Wonderland
(Beautiful decorations, as always, from Debbie Dabble Blog!)
(Very cute idea for fall activities with littles!)
Banana chocolate muffins. Need I say more?
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!

It’s not too bad. The reptiles are usually behind class and if they take one out to be looked at it is being held or is very young.

Happy birthday to the Libra in your house! I’m also a Libra and I think that October is the best month for birthdays since mine is next week. Thanks for hosting.

Oh, and I can’t link up because Inlinkz won’t let be although I’m logged in. They want to confirm my email address (for whatever reason), but won’t send me the emails through which I would be able to confirm.

Oh no! I will have to check and make sure I put the right code in mine! Did you try on Marsha’s too? I’ll try to get it fixed and get back to you

No worries, Inlinkz was the problem. They suddenly hate my email address, when I tried to reset my password (although I knew that wasn’t the problem), they gave me a server error.I hate to set up an account with a new email address and then it worked. You gotta love technology …

argh! So frustrating! Sometimes WordPress signs me out and when I sign back in they tell me that my password isn’t my password. Fun times!
