Week #88!
And, we are back from our holiday break! Welcome to a new and improved edition of Weekend Traffic Jam. Look for the link up to go live Thursdays at 9:30pm EDT. Sue’s post goes live in Australia on Friday at 12:30 pm.
Wouldn’t you like to know more about your hostesses? We’ve got you covered there! Please feel free to drop by the others to see what their blogs are all about! We are a very diverse group of bloggers. Links to each blog appear below.

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 continue the reboot of the reboot! We have a new feature here at Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! WTJR will be highlighting a different blogger each week! We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello! This week we spotlight Patty from Life is Better Lakeside!

A little about…
“I am a lover of all things waterside related – lakes, oceans, pools, and streams. My other loves are family, friends, our dogs, children, animals, scrapbooking, travel, and greeting friends with a special table, designed just for the occasion of their visit. Welcome to the lake. I look forward to sharing my stories with you, and I’m hoping to hear your stories too!” You can find Patty here! I hope you’ll stop by and tell her we sent you!
The four of us would like to see the Weekend Traffic Jam grow bigger, so please link up your favorite posts! I’m especially looking at my fashion friends! We are woefully underrepresented in the link up! They can be fashion, DIY, food, lifestyle, travel, you name it! Please visit the other co-hosts as well as two or three of those linked! You just might discover a new blog. I know that’s how I’ve discovered so many and found new friends. And, please spread the word about Weekend Traffic Jam
Favorites from last time…




And, now, it’s your turn!
Please link up your favorite posts, DIY, baking, gardening, fashion…you name it…as long as it’s family friendly! Don’t forget some of your older posts might be just right for this time of year! Link up with me, visit a couple of others, and leave a comment or two! No worries if you don’t have a blog, just look around! You may find a new blog just waiting for you!
For some reason I can never reach the Life Is Better Lakeside blog. The URL changes to an IP address and next I’m getting an error message that I couldn’t connect.
Thanks for hosting, Marsha!

That’s really strange. Sometimes, I will just google the name of the blog and put blog at the end of it. I can usually get there that way.
You’re welcome, Cat!

Thanks, Mireille! We were trying to come up with something to make our little link party stand out a bit. I’m so glad you like it!
Hi Marsha! Thanks for hosting. The inlinkz link isn’t working for me? Is it just me?
You’re welcome, Michelle! It’s good to see you here! I sent you an email. I can’t access those link up buttons on my laptop after my son did something with the security. So, I have to use my iPad or iPhone. I’m wondering if that’s what’s going on with you. I hope you can figure it out!
Thanks for the link up Marsha!
