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.

Look for the post to go live about 9:30 PM EST on Thursdays.

Your hosts for the link up:

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: This Blonde’s Shopping Bag

Here is what Kellyanne says about her blog:

This Blonde’s Shopping Bag is a personal style blog by Kellyann Rohr. I believe every woman, regardless of age, should have the tools and opportunity to feel their best through fashion. A closet full of great basics with some fun pieces mixed in helps you avoid that dreaded feeling of having nothing to wear! It doesn’t have to break the bank either and that’s why I’ll show you how to get the most bang for your buck. Quite simply my mission is to encourage and support women to stay fashionable, fresh, and relevant!

This Blonde’s Shopping Bag was started in 2016 as a result of my love for shopping and creating outfits. I’ve always loved fashion and finding budget friendly pieces to create looks I love. So many of my friends and co-workers complimented me on my outfits and asked advice but also shared how they could “never pull off” some of my looks or that they “couldn’t afford” to dress the way they really wanted. The blog is my answer to those problems.

Since it’s inception the blog has grown and so has my reach. It’s been a dream come true to connect with a community of like minded women and partner with brands. I’ve especially enjoyed working with Chico’s, Vionics, and Jambu as well as smaller, women owned businesses.

Here are some of my highlights for the week

(Some “grand” photos in this one!)

(A cozy coffee catch up!)

(loved learning about planners here)

(awesome cow print dress!)

Thank you so much for joining us for our link-up! Please remember that this is a link-up where you can share posts from the previous week or posts from weeks, months, or even years ago. All we ask is that they be family friendly!

It is the first day of spring! I am so excited for spring! Our week was okay but there were some cruddy days, especially this one, so hoping for a better weekend and week next week. It is going to be colder next week, though.

This week we are spotlighting Krafty Planner!

Marie says of her blog:

I’m Maria—a blogger, writer, planning + journaling expert, and creator. With this blog and supporting online courses, I help multi-passionate women, like you, establish systems & routines that will help you achieve your goals and become your best self. 🙂

P.S. Not that it matters (too much), but I do enjoy designing and creating all of the printables myself. I take pride in designing each piece from scratch, ensuring they’re unique. No templates or PLR here – just genuine creations crafted exclusively for you. 😊
Thank you for being part of our link up!

A little about the blog and its author Jill:

Doused in Pink is a fashion-focused lifestyle blog where you’ll find posts about fashion, non-toxic beauty, healthy lifestyle articles, DIYs, and decorating ideas. I want to inspire other women to embrace their personal style, feel confident, and love what they wear. I started Doused in Pink in 2014 as a creative outlet to document my everyday outfits when I needed some inspiring myself.

I’m a budget-savvy shopper and love sharing how to have that put-together look without breaking the bank by building on classic pieces with a few seasonal trends and remixing what you already have in your closet.

Thank you for being part of the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot, Jill!

Now for some highlights from me taken from our links last week:

|| Weekly Snapshots From Our Grand Lives by Our Grand Lives ||

|| Green Sweatshirts and Jeans Style With A Smile by Style-Splash ||

Temperatures warmed up a little bit this week and it was so nice to be able to step outside and not immediately feel like my fingertips were going to fall off from the cold.

This week we did have high winds, however, and that made me nervous because we have a very, very tall and old maple tree in front of our house and I’m always worried it is going to fall on our house (or our neighbors!). We haven’t been able to take it down because tree-cutting companies have been telling us that removing it will be in the thousands and we don’t have that money laying around, sadly.

I hope that you will look through the links and click on some and find a new blogger or two to follow.

First, I’ll introduce you to our hosts:

Your True Self Blog

A little bit about the author:

Hi, my name is Angie. I started this blog because I began to see the infinite possibilities of creating artful clothing combinations out of my own closet. I’d love to share these endless ideas with you!

A healthy lifestyle brings lifelong health, beauty and youthful energy. So I strive for that in my choices everyday. It’s so important that I include it throughout my blog.

I am now over 60 and want to show you how age doesn’t matter when it comes to expressing your free spirit: the you that always was, is and will be.

My highlighted posts this week out of the links from last week (I threw in a bonus this week):

|| Thursday Morning Coffee Catch Up by Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs ||

|| The Bookmark Bookstore by Adventures in Weseland ||

This is a blog link-up where we not only allow you to share your past posts but we encourage it. So share away!

This week our temps were beautiful where I live in the beginning of the week. Last night they dropped 20 degrees, reminding us yet again we are in autumn. So I am under a blanket as I putting the finishing touches on my blog post.

I hope the weather is lovely wherever you are.

This week’s most clicked post was:

|| Hurricane Helene September 27 ~ The Storm that Changed Asheville and WNC by A Blessed Homeschool Life ||

This is a hard post to read but it is a very important read to understand what really happened in N.C. and why that area was hit so fast and that it is even worse than what the news has shown (which honestly is very little in my opinion). Keep this family in your prayers.

And now my highlights:

|| How to Make Pumpkin Seeds by Real Food Blogger ||

|| Cozy October With Ageless Style by Amy’s Creative Pursuits ||

|| Sparks of Joy This Week by Women Living Well After 50 ||
