Traffic Jam Weekend Linky Party #233
Thank you everyone for your Mother’s Day wishes last week. It was a bittersweet day as it was my first Mother’s Day without Momma. But Hubby and The Deuce made it quite special for me with my favorite foods and family time. This past week also marked 6 months since Momma passed. But I’m pushing forward every day, y’all! She would want me to stay active and be productive, so that’s what I’m doing. Next week will bring several milestones in my family: my niece (my first “baby”) and nephew are graduating from high school in Louisiana, The Deuce’s 7th grade year will be coming to a close as I do a drive-thru pickup of his belongings left at school prior to the COVID-19 shutdown, and THE BIGGEST OF THEM ALL: THE DEUCE WILL BECOME A TEENAGER ON THE 21ST!! Lawd, Lawd, Lawd. Where has the time gone? When I started this blog, he was 5 years old. Pray for me. Stay safe out there.

These are the featured posts from Traffic Jam Weekend #232…
Laurie chose Got Goals? These 4 Strategies Can Help You Achieve Them by Shelbee on the Edge. “I really liked this post and the information she gave on how to achieve your goals. It was interesting to read and think about how I have or haven’t been working on my personal goals and what I need to do differently.”
Kimberly chose 6 Essential Items You Should Carry to a Writers Retreat from Urban Naturale. “Right before the pandemic shut everything down, I expressed to Hubby my desire to go to a writers retreat. He was on board and told me to book it. Once things are back to normal in the world, I will be making those plans. This post will get me prepared!”
Evelyn also chose this post.
Deja chose 50 FUN Ways to Practice Spelling Words from Slices of Life. “Is it just me, or is your spelling suffering because of lockdown!? Haha. My pick this week should help us all with that.”
Michelle chose DIY Superhero Comic Side Table Makeover from Chas’ Crazy Creations. “It’s a relatively simple project, and the result is so amazing and fun. I love it!”
Lisa chose My Lovely Fairy Garden from Curly Crafty Mom. “This is such a cute idea. I have been thinking of making one in my yard and these directions were cute and easy. I even have a planter like the one in the picture.”

Sending you positive thoughts and prayers. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you and your family are safe and healthy.
I appreciate that, Patrick. Thank you.
Thank you for hosting! This is what I featured the week of 5-11 to 5-15 on my blog. On Tuesday was Crock Pot Chili Poor Man’s Style. Wednesday was GF Raspberry Lemonade Cake. Thursday was Easy Homemade GF Bread. And winding up this Week my How To Meal Plan 101. Enjoy!
It’s my second year without mum. It’s a tough one. xx
The time really does fly, but blogging is a fabulous way of keeping a journal of our lives. My daughter was 18 months old when I started blogging, she is now 11 years old :/ Hope Deuce has a fantastic birthday! 🙂 I hope you are all well and keeping safe! Thank you for hosting! Sim x
Yes, it definitely is a life journal. Thank you.
I am over the moon to see that 6 Essential Items You Should Carry to a Writers Retreat and Spice Up Your Life with Fresh, Spicy and Savory Organic Veggie Smoothies from Urban Naturale were featured this week on Traffic Jam Weekend Linky Party. Thank you so much for the support and recognition. It means the world! I sincerely enjoy partying here! All the best!
Thanks for the party! Have a great weekend!
Good luck with a teenager. 😉 Thanks for hosting! I brought by some Chili Lime Kale Chips. Hope you enjoy. 🙂
I am so sorry to hear that Mother’s Day was bittersweet for you. I lost my mother 14 years ago and before I had kids of my own, I hated Mother’s Day because of all the emotions it stirred up so I can totally relate to how you were feeling this past weekend. Thanks so much for the feature this week (I tried to visit Laurie’s blog to thank her since she chose my post, but it went all weird and keeps asking me to login to her website…strange.) I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Thank you for the kind words, Shelbee. Laurie’s site was down temporarily.
