Welcome to the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot!
My
posts for the link up will go live on Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. EDT or, if
you live in the future like I do, on Fridays at 3:30 a.m. CE(S)T.
Happy Boxing Day!
Three years ago, I wrote about Boxing Day and how I hadn't known for the longest time what that was supposed to mean. Actually, I still don't know because like so often there are different theories about why some Commonwealth countries call the 26th that.
And strangely enough, not one of them has to do with boxing as in the sport 😉
Der Dekan thinks I should have known that because what could be better than an actual box, no matter if it contained alms for the poor or gifts for servants, as long as it's nice and cozy when empty!
He even gave me proof (although he was quite surprised that I don't have box pictures of all my cats).
So, are you ready for the weekend?
As part of the reboot, we will be featuring a different blog every week.
How about stopping by and saying hello? Let them know we sent you.
This week our spotlight is on Momfever.
Nicole from Momfever says "When I first became a mom I loved my little girl, but I also felt quite lost, thinking: 'Now what?!' Then my husband explained: 'Now you have to raise her, so she becomes a well rounded and well adjusted grown-up.' So I set to work, and 28 years later, the first results look promising. As do her three younger brothers and sister. But it's not always easy, and I've found blogging to be a great way to retain my sanity in the day to day business of running a family. In fact, I feel it's my other job!"
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.
Cat from Cat's Wire has what she calls a jumping spider brain. She has many interests and will blog about whatever catches her attention - crafts, books, old movies, collectibles or random things.
Rena from Fine Whatever Blog writes about style, midlife, and the "fine whatever" moments that make life both meaningful and fun. Since 2015, she's been celebrating creativity, confidence, and finding joy in the everyday.
Here are some of my picks from last week's link up.
How tempting do these cheesy stuffed mushroom caps look that Esme is sharing with us?
I'm sure you can also eat Nettie's Christmas popcorn after Christmas ...
It's hard to say what's my favorite in Soma's post, the beautiful picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, her adorable little books - or the painting of her cat Charlie!
Do you keep old clothes for sentimental reasons? Marsha has a sweet story to tell about that.
Let's link up!
You can add links to specific blog posts of yours, but not just to your blog itself. The posts can be new or older and cover any topic you can think of - books, movies, fashion, crafting, thrifting, travel, art ... but only family friendly, please!
Have a look around, visit some of the other blogs and leave a few comments. You might discover something new and exciting!
Thank you for linking up with us!
I love all your cat pictures. Boxing Day is the same here in Montreal, same title. The stores open at 1 p.m. instead of the usual 8 or 9 a.m.
ReplyDeleteThey put all the Christmas 🎄 stock on sale.
Here it's a holiday, the stores are closed and we simply call it the 2nd Christmas Day.
