Today is the seventh day of the 18th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge, and I am so happy to host it for the next several 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
If you have not visited bullets and blanks, here is your invitation to do so. I recently stumbled on this writer’s blog and was excited to see a notebook! The author of bullets and blanks hand-writes a post, photographs it, and then posts the picture as the slice of the day. I was particularly intrigued by the post titled, earful.
