Week 163!
Can you believe it’s July? The weather certainly feels like July…hot and sticky like molasses you left out on the counter, spilled on the floor, and tried to walk through! But, I still feel like I should be getting Valentine’s chocolates! This year is just speeding away for me. How about the rest of you? Anyway, it’s time for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! I am always aiming for 9:30 pm EDT. So, on with the show, right?
As part of our new year reboot, we are now shining the spotlight on a different blogger each week. We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello! This week, we spotlight Donna, Staci, and Ali Rose from Two Chicks and a Mom!
Donna describes herself as “Wife to Larry, mom to 8, G’ma to 5, former SAHM turned RN. My things are working out, scrapbooking for the family, cooking, crafting, sewing projects, yard work, and blogging. Most of my family, me included, are Star Wars™, Star Trek™, and Marvel™ fans/nerds.” Staci says, “I’m Staci and one of the chicks. Currently I am a Senior at BYU-Hawaii on Oahu. My husband and I are both studying Exercise and Sports Science with an emphasis on Health and Fitness. I am the first daughter after six boys (!) and Ali Rose is the youngest “chick.” I enjoy fitness, food, traveling, outdoors, cooking, baking, crafts, music, movies, and family.” Ali Rose says, “Hi, Ali Rose here! I am the youngest chick and the youngest of 8. I am a high school sophomore and one day hope to be either a psychologist or a successful actress. Some of the things that I enjoy include spending time with family and friends, listening to music, watching TV shows, playing with my pets (Remy LeBeau is my puppy), and traveling. Hope you enjoy the things I bring to the blog.” Please visit them here, and tell them we sent you!

You are very welcome, Amalia! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks for hosting and for the shoutout!
You are very welcome, Nancy!
Oh yes, it’s hot and sticky like that here too. We’ve had quite a few thunderstorms as well and that just makes it even stickier. Hopefully the heatwave will break soon.
Thanks, Joanne! We haven’t had many thunderstorms which is weird because it’s exactly the right conditions for them. I’m hoping for a break that lasts and isn’t just a teaser!
As always, thanks for hosting, Marsha. It’s always a pleasure to visit your blogs. Thanks for the feature for baking bread. It is such a satisfying thing to do and there’s nothing better than warm bread straight from the oven. Have a great 4th of July.
Lynne, Thrifting Wonderland
You are welcome, Lynne! I found your bread oven so fascinating. I’d never heard of them. And, warm butter with butter and jam is such a good thing no matter the reason!
Oh my gosh, it DOES feel like we are covered in molasses right now! It is so grossly hot and sticky. It should be moving out soon though, I think (and hope)! Thanks for the link party and have a wonderful weekend, my friend!
Shelbee
You’re welcome, my friend! It hasn’t been as humid…yet. But, it’s supposed to get that way this weekend. I’m hoping nothing bad happens with the heat and the fireworks.
Marsha,

We are definitely having some July weather: even at 6 am, running is brutal and my friends and I struggled this morning. The sunrise was beautiful though and we get to sleep in tomorrow morning!

Thanks, Mireille! This heat is definitely brutal. Good for you running. I was shocked to see runners out and about around noon today. I would think they were in danger of heat stroke. Enjoy your sleep!
Thanks so much for hosting us all, Marsha! I hope you are able to stay cool over the holiday weekend! Happy 4th of July!
You’re welcome, Laura! I will be cool on Saturday as I’m going to be at the museum for about three hours. Have a wonderful weekend!
Enjoy your long weekend. Happy 4 July
