This week I am watching Christmas movies — old and new. I need that escape and I think a lot of people in my blog circle and in the world need that too.

I’d love to know — what are some of your favorite Christmas movies? Old and new! Let me know in the comments.

Now, let’s introduce our current 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. 

Cat from Cat’s Wire is a bookworm, movie fan, crazy cat lady, armed with beads, cabs, wire and a very jumpy brain which loves to go down rabbit holes!

Rena from Fine, Whatever writes about style, midlife, and the “fine whatever” moments that make life both meaningful and fun. Since 2015, she’s been celebrating creativity, confidence, and finding joy in the everyday.

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: Momfever

A little about Momfever:

When I first became a mom, I loved my little girl, but I also felt quite lost, thinking:

‘Now what?!’

Then my husband explained: ‘Now you have to raise her, so she becomes a well-rounded, and well-adjusted grown-up.’

So I set to work, and 28 years later, the first results look promising. As do her three younger brothers and sister. But it’s not always easy, and I’ve found blogging to be a great way to retain my sanity in the day to day business of running a family. In fact, I feel it’s my other job! A look into the day-to-day life of a mom with five children!

Thank you so much for joining us for our link-up, Momfever!

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

Romanian Potato Stew!

(Love Erin’s journey to make her house feel like Christmas)

(These roasted veggies look so good!!)

I loved this review of an episode of Star Trek New Worlds!

This week I am also featuring one recent blog post from each our hosts (except me because you are already on my blog *wink*).

|| O’, Lego Tree, O’ Lego Tree by Cat’s Wire ||

|| Chicken and Dumplings Soup by Scratchmade Food and DYI Household ||

|| A Long Love Letter to Nigel by Marsha in the Middle ||

Tuesday we were hit with some snow. Like last time,  the temps dropped, leaving the snow in place. Then yesterday we got some more and today we had snow squalls and it’s only about 19 degrees outside so, yet again, the snow is staying in place.

Now if it will only stay in place for 14 more days and we will have a white Christmas, not that I care either way. It’s pretty to have snow on the ground at Christmas, but it not necessary, of course, for a good Christmas.

We live in an area where we have a chance for snow on Christmas.

How about you? Do you get snow around or on Christmas where you live?

Now, let’s introduce our current hosts for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot:

We had our first snowfall in Northern Pennsylvania this week. It was only about three or four inches but the temperatures dropped very fast afterward so it is still on the ground and still a bit icy. When it gets icy around here, I can’t get the car out of my steep driveway so I am somewhat stranded. I was also stranded this week because Little Miss caught a small, quick cold that gave her a low grade fever only one day but left her draining and blowing her nose for most of the week.

So far no one else has had it. Do you have snow where you live?

I can’t remember if I mentioned my injured cat on one of these posts or not but I thought I’d update that the cat with the injured paw is doing much better. In fact, she started walking on the sore foot again yesterday for the first time, the day before we were set to take her to the vet.

A new kitten was dropped off at our house a couple of weeks ago and she is also doing well, and we have not found her family so far, so it looks like she’ll be staying with us.

I told the kids, and my husband, that this is the last pet though. Three cats and a dog who want to go in and out all day and two cats who either chirp or yowl, plus the three cats currently fighting with each other is quite enough for me.

If any other cat gets dropped off at our house, they are going to the local no-kill shelter. There is no more room at our inn for stray pets.

Don’t get me wrong — I love the cats and our dog — I just can’t handle worrying about anymore animals.

With all that being said, let’s move on to introducing our hosts for this link up!

This week we are spotlighting: Midlife and Beyond

A little about Alison

My blog is a wonderful way to reflect on life changes i.e., work commitments, getting older, children leaving the nest…. (then, returning, ha-ha), and relationships – the list goes on. My writing style is authentic and down-to-earth, probably my North East of England roots.

My mum worked in “high fashion” throughout my youth, which ignited my love of all things “couture”.  Most days, after school, I would go to wait for her at her place of work.  There was always the latest copy of Vogue and Marie Claire to read.  I’d still rather read a physical copy than a digital one. This is partly because I don’t like to overdo being online.  I enjoyed wandering through the classy showroom wafting through the new stock of the season, thrilled by the beautiful colours, sumptuous materials and wonderful cut of cloth.  Sometimes, I would be asked to try things on for customers, which I loved.  This is where I earned my pocket money. It awoke something in me that I have never switched off.

Thank you for joining our link-up!

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

Happy Blogiversary to Our GRAND Lives!

(Comparison and Judgment are the Enemies of Creativity)

(Easy Air Fryer Bruschetta Recipe)

Harvesting a GourZuchumpkin! What’s next?

I hope you are all having a great week. We had our first snowfall this week. I knew we might get some flurries but on Tuesday we actually had a full covering.

If the temps weren’t enough to show me that Winter is here, that was.

We plan to light our woodstove for the first time today. We had to replace some piping so hopefully it all goes okay. By the time you read this, we should know if it is working okay.

This week we are spotlighting: Bemused and Bookish

A little about Olivia:

I’m an American expat who lives in Shëngjin, Albania with my exceptional husband, and a 7 pound chiweenie who rules the household. (I swear he was a cat in another life.) I love picking up shells on the beach, sunsets, learning about my new country, interacting with blogging community, and of course books!

I will read most genres. Mystery and science fiction are my favorites. I tend to avoid romances. My all-time favorite books are Project Hail Mary and the Murderbot series.

I add books to my to-be-read list almost daily and it is long enough to last me the rest of my life.

Good grief, Pennsylvania. What is with this super cold weather even before November hit? Wait. That’s pretty normal, I just don’t like to remember it because I’m not a fan of cold unless I can be inside wrapped up in a blanket? Oh. I see.

Well, anyhow, winter is upon us at the moment it seems as our temps dip into the low 30s and high 20s at night.

This gives us extra snuggle time with the pets who like to snuggle at the most inconvenient times these days. I’ll take it, though, because I always look forward to when they slow down a little and let me cuddle them a little bit. They had plenty of time to cuddle as I am writing this because it is pouring outside.

This week we are spotlighting: Caffeinated Frame

A little about Arpita:

Hi there! My name is Arpita Singh, and I believe myself to be a creative soul with an undying love for art and writing. I find myself constantly drawn to anything that allows me to express a matter creatively, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share my interest with you through this blogging website.

Nothing compares to starting the day with a fresh, warm cup of coffee, to get the energy and focus one needs to tackle the day ahead.

I have been fortunate enough to have lived two totally different lives in two distinct cities, providing me with an exceptional opportunity to learn from both. The experiences I have gained through these two vastly different worlds have taught me invaluable lessons that I am eager to share these with you.

Thank you so much for joining us for our link-up!

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