Today is the eighth day of the 17th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge! I am happy to host for the next few days as we progress through the challenge.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
It’s our first Multi-Lingual Friday of the month. This is an opportunity for participants to share their slice of life stories in another language. Jennifer Mitchell, from the blog, I hablo espanglish, inspired the Multi-Lingual Friday idea for multi-lingual slicers in March of 2022. Take a look here, at her post titled, ¿el primavierno? for a look at what a #multifri slice is like. You can also join in today or any other Friday this month! Grab the badge below:
Many thanks to our Slicer Troubleshooting Team, Glenda Funk, Fran McCrackin, Joanne Toft, and Peter von Euler, who helped out for the past week! Be sure to visit their blogs if you haven’t already.
BE INSPIRED
Letter writing has always been a type of slice I enjoy reading. Stacey recently shared a post from Ana Patton with me titled “Two Vanilla Pumps.” Ana writes at Start with a Story and is sharing letters to her daughter as a way to remember and share. Take a look!

I thought I added this slice prior to 12:00 pm but it seems to not be there. I will try one more time. I usually address International Women’s Day with a slice but somehow I forgot the date when I was blogging. The link is
