Week 167!
How is it in your neck of the woods? It’s been warm here, verging on hot. I am saddened by all the news of wildfires around the world. I’ve never been to Paris, but I heard one of the wildfires in France is three times the size of Paris. That is truly heartbreaking. I can’t imagine, truly can’t imagine, what those people are feeling. It should be a wake up call for those who can change some laws, right? 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? And, I owe you two weeks of featured favorites…I haven’t forgotten!
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 Estelle from Homemade on a Weeknight.
Estelle says, “I am a lot of things – wife, mother, niece, friend, business owner, volunteer, and a home chef. I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for most of my adult life and plan to stay forever. We are currently embarking on our next chapter of life as we make the move to create our life dream of being Homesteaders, in the great state of Montana. We like to go go go, but when it comes to dinnertime, we mostly like to dine-in! I love to create things with my hands and have probably tried almost every craft out there at least once or twice. Cooking is a huge part of my life. No matter what anyone says – you can taste the difference in the food if it was made with love. Some of the simplest meals can be elevated so much when they are cooked with care. Pouring love into the meals I create brings a feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction, not only to me, but to the people I care about.” You can visit Estelle here, and please let her know we sent you!
