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.
If you have known me for a while, you know the obligatory spring picture.
Little hearts in the garden ... I'm looking forward to seeing them in full bloom. It's just one plant, but it always makes me so happy (if you want to know why -> here).
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 For Family Caregivers.
Charlene and Justin from For Family Caregivers say: "We are a mother son duo who cared for our loved one for five years after he was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia due to Frontal Temporal Degeneration. It was a disease no one had heard of until Bruce Willis was also diagnosed. We learned to advocate for a disease about which little was known, adapt to rapid changes that left him unable to speak, to feed himself and become totally dependent. We learned on the fly - guessing, researching, asking questions and, sometimes, giving up in tears and frustration.
It was a challenge. Heart breaking. And a privilege.
We are not the only family to travel this unexpected road. We want to share our hard won knowledge so others could benefit from our struggles and give them meaning. It can only take 5-10 minutes because that's all the "spare" time a caregiver has! Short and sweet bites: time saving tips to implement, food for thought, a new way of doing things, a break in the routine, a bit of self care, useful knowledge ... We've gone through the struggle and we want to make it easier for others."
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.
Melody thinks you should read Kristin Hannah's "The Great Alone". Here's why.
Amy's post reminded me that I still haven't tried roasted radishes and they look so good!
I'm not a DIYer myself, so I'm always impressed if someone fixes something like Gina did with her attic opening.
Oh, the hunt for clothes in a certain color. Gail found just what she wanted.
Let's link up!
