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 we’ve had warm weather and I have not been enjoying it! It’s been too warm for spring, but I have enjoyed the sunlight and the leaves coming out on the trees! If this warm weather is any indication of what our summer will be, I am not interested! Ha! But I will make do.

I hope you are all enjoying the weather where you are and aren’t getting any of the extreme weather.

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: From Bay to the Beach

A little about Susan:

If you love interior design and California coastal style, you’re in the right place! I’m a native Californian, and I am privileged to call two of the most beautiful places in California my home – the San Francisco Bay Area and coastal San Diego County. So whether you love wine country or the coast, or everything in between, you’ll find something to love here – From the Bay to the Beach.

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

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

Gail is springing into spring with style

Shelbee’s showing off her beautiful Easter outfit

I’m burnt out on everyone being offended by everything.

Yes, I am offended by everyone being offended. Ha!

I know.  How ironic!

I don’t have any specific examples of this, by the way, it’s just everywhere you look these days. Someone is always up in arms about something!

With that being said, stay tuned for my post tomorrow where I share how disgusted I am with — Ha! Just kidding. I just have a book review to share.

I hope you are having a good week. We just found out my husband will need oral surgery for his tooth problems because it is a cavity in his wisdom tooth and is close to a sinus. Umm..yay?

Our daughter has been sick with a weird virus this week and it has not been fun to see her not feeling well.

She has had no appetite and her stomach is upset and she’s had some chills and fever but little else. It’s been hard to see my usually perky 11-year-old so sad and miserable. I really hope we turn a corner tomorrow. If not, we are off to the doctor to see what is really going on.

This week we are spotlighting: Jennifer Lambert

A little about Brenda:

Hi, my name is Brenda.  I am a Christian first,  a wife (of twenty eight years, to God be the glory!)to a wonderful, amazing man.  A mom to two beautiful girls who were homeschooled, a daughter, a sister and a friend and a teacher

Why ‘becoming His tapestry?’  The answer is quite simple actually… Because that is my goal, that is the prize! I want to be my Lord and Savior’s tapestry. But for now, I am becoming…. I am in the process of becoming, of allowing my Master to weave the various threads of my life into His Masterpiece. Here are a few of these threads,my love for the Lord,  my love for my family, my love for homeschool (I enjoy spending time with my girls), my love for… shhhhhhh…fashion, beauty and shopping. The purpose of this blog is to bring the Lord glory by sharing with you, tidbits of my life, to encourage and edify you as we journey  along  this path called life.
