Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot: Autumn colors and vibes

On By Lisa R. HowelerIn Weekend Traffic Jam4 Comments


It has been a beautiful week here in my neck of the woods. The temperatures have been perfect. For the last two days the sun has been shining.

Today I walked among the fallen leaves and while I was a bit sad that most of our leaves have already blown off the trees, it was nice to look at the few leaves that are left.

Welcome to this week’s Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot which I host with Marsha in the Middle and Melynda from Scratch Made Food For Hungry People.

Did you get a chance to visit all the links from last week? Or maybe you are new to the traffic jam? If you are new, please feel welcome to leave a link this week to a blog post of your own that was your favorite from this past week. Then please visit and comment on the other links and get to know the other bloggers who participate.

This is a fun way to meet new bloggers.

Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot

On By Lisa R. HowelerIn everyday musings, Weekend Traffic Jam1 Comment

Hey everyone! How has your week been? I hope it has been going well.

Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam where you can share your favorite blog posts from your blog each Thursday. I am a co-host of this linkup with Marsha in the Middle and Melynda from Scratch Made Food For Hungry People.

How do you relax during the week when life is chaotic around you? I’d love to read your tips!

Luckily this past week has been fairly tame for my family. I finished the first draft of the second book in my cozy mystery series and that was a load off of my mind, even though I still need to make revisions and edit before sending it to my editor and proofreader.

The weather has been very gloomy outside and that has been a downer because I haven’t been able to get as many nice fall photo+s as I wanted to this week but I did grab a few.

It looks like the temperatures will be even chillier this weekend into next, but this is the time of year for this weather so I’ll have to suck it up.

Our woodpile is piled high and we’re ready to light the first fire in our woodstove – probably this weekend as the one night is supposed to be in the 1930s.

How about you? Is it chilly or warm where you are?

This week the most clicked post was:

Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! Add your links!

On By Lisa R. HowelerIn everyday musings, Weekend Traffic Jam3 Comments

It is my second week co-hosting the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot with Marsha in the Middle and Melynda from Scratch Made Food For Hungry People.

I hope all my blogger friends will add your link to a favorite post from your blog this past week or even from previous weeks (there’s really no time limit). It helps to share your work more and connect with more bloggers, which is why I enjoy it.

I felt a bit numb this week from the news in the world so it was a nice break to wander from blog to blog and read about fashion and tours of photogenic villages and food and anything else not related to heartbreaking topics.

Here are my favorite posts from the week:

My Slices of Life: Our Trip to the Zoo

The Copper Table: Pumpkin Scones With Maple Thyme Butter

Shelbee on the Edge: What In The World Is This Wonderfully Weird Weather?

And the post with the most clicks last week was:

Thrifting Wonderland:  A Little Art Deco In Your Fall

Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot

On By Lisa R. HowelerIn Weekend Traffic Jam2 Comments

I’m excited to be joining Marsha at Marsha in the Middle and Melynda at Scratch Made Food for Hungry People for this weeks Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot post. The Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot is a chance for bloggers to link to their favorite posts from the week. Those posts can focus on food, travel, reading, crafts, or whatever was your favorite blog post of the week from your blog.

Add a link to your blog post below and then, please, visit and comment on some of the other blogger’s posts. Look for the link up to go live Thursdays at 9:30pm EDT.

What I’ve Been Up To This Week:

I’m new to this feature so I thought I’d introduce myself. I am not a fashion blogger like many of you and, in fact, know nothing about fashion other than I like to look at it, but I love visiting the fashion blogs.

I am a independent author, homeschooling mom, and a blogger who writes about faith, photography, writing, art, books, and old movies.

I’m currently writing a cozy mystery series but have also written a series of Christian fiction books. All of my books are available in ebook and paperback form and currently on Amazon. I only mention this because trying to figure out where and how to sell my books is a constant stress for me, but one I want to let go of and get back to my motto of just having fun.

I didn’t do a lot this week as I am dealing with a tooth issue, which isn’t painful but will need to be addressed sooner rather than later. I had to go to my regular doctor today to get an antibiotic because the dentist I want to go to can’t get me in until January and the other dentists in the area will not work with me with my budget issues and lack of insurance.

I’m grateful that I am at least not in pain. (Thank you, Jesus! Literally)
