Welcome to another great weekend! And what better way to enjoy it in full, than with a visit to Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! What makes this link-up special is that we encourage you to link up not only your current posts and good ideas, but also the great stuff in your archives! Yes, let's all show some love for those great posts resting in the archives...
Yes, that's right, we love all your new posts, but older posts are not only encouraged, they are appreciated! So don't hold back, share, share and share some more!
Wait, did I hear that correctly? Yes you did...
Huh?, did you say, older posts are welcome too? Yep, we sure did. And UNLIMIED sharing as well. So let's give those older (and STILL really great!) posts some recognition and respect. Because let's be honest, last month's or even last year's creative work is still great work, simply buried in the archives...and why we encourage you bring them out and share them all right here!
At each Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot, we look forward to seeing all your great projects, ideas, recipes, crafts and any other family friendly blog posts you wish to share.
Bring them all on, because, in our opinion, the more the merrier!
Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot is currently shared over three FOUR blogs:
Let us introduce ourselves! We each offer a different perspective on life and hope you enjoy not only this link-up, but all that you may find, on each of our personal blogs!
Melynda@ Scratch Made Food! & DIY Homemade Household - Our name says it all! Scratch cooking and baking while living on a three generation homestead in East Texas. In my spare time I garden, chase chickens, spend as much time as possible with my grandson, and knit. Life is good!
Marsha@ Marsha in the Middle - Marsha 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! You can find her on her blog, Marsha in the Middle.
Lisa@ Boondock Ramblings - Lisa shares about the fiction she writes and reads, her faith, homeschooling, photography and much more on her blog, Boondock Ramblings.
Sue@ Women Living Well After 50. - Sue 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.
I invite you to follow our hosts on their individual blogs or any of the social media pages you visit, making it easy to keep up to date with just about every little thing! And there are many...we tend to be a busy group.
And our new feature, that I am most excited about! As promised, we have rebooted 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 ...
This week we are featuring,
Barbara who blogs about life in Wellington, New Zealand at Thistles and Kiwi. She enjoys sharing about the small pleasures found in her neighborhood, dining at local restaurants as well as outings to all the beautiful yet different landscapes of New Zealand including parks, and beaches. Do drop by and say hello to Barbara and take a mini tour of New Zealand!
We would love to have additional Co-Hosts to share in the creativity and the fun! If you think this would be a good fit for you and you like having fun (come on now, who doesn't?!) while still being creative, drop one of us an email and someone will get back with you!

And now back to our regularly scheduled Reboot!
And I thought last week was cold! This morning we have had power blips that shut off the back-up heater in the shop. The blinking display on the clock in the bedroom was a clue to look out the window of our Caravan proving the heater light was out. The small red dot of the power button being in the on position, was dark. We got up at 3a.m. to keep an eye on the heaters, as well as the water source coming into our home, it too was beginning to freeze up. lit! February will be a happy sight for this sunshine loving woman...
So why did my husband and I put together a tiny house homestead here in East Texas?
Turns out, it is a bit of an interesting story, you can read about it here if you like...and now that we are settled in, we have a made a photo tour of our 5thwheel tiny home. You really must be organized to fit it all in, cooking, gardening, homesteading and also a bit of fun from time to time!
And from time to time when inspiration strikes, I write about it all. The good, the bad, and all the other stuff from years ago, if you have an interest in creative thoughts down on paper...you could take a gander here. And...
I try each day to get out and take a moment for myself to observe and see the daily changes taking place on our property. These moments taken have helped me find small repairs needing done as well as a rose that might have just bloomed. I decided to photograph these findings for enjoyment yes, but also to observe the land around me. Welcome to our Homestead...
In case you missed them, here are two of our favorite recipes that we enjoy from Scratch Made Food & DIY Homemade Household.
And these three that caught my eye!:
Paris in Three Days, The Ultimate Mother-Daughter Adventure. @mapleleopard
DIY - earrings "the little house" @mooisvanm(i)
I Spy With My Little Eye - Something With Feathers or Fur @amyscreativepersuits
And now on to the Link-up! THANK You to all that share and visit, we appreciate it very much because Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot wouldn't work or be as much fun, without you!
