  5. Michelle,
    Have a wonderful time with your family. How nice to be all together! I'm on spring break this week and my mom is really trying to get me to drive down. I'm debating. It's such a long drive by myself (11 hours), but I would get to see my daughter too which is definitely a bonus. I have so much to do here, but your poem makes me think I should get in the car.

    Thoughtful structure for your poem. The phrases grouped together to create lines of similar ideas is interesting to me.

    Have fun!

    1. You can never get back family time, Cathy. I say hop in the car with a couple audio books and you'll be good to go! All that other "stuff," can wait.

      Thanks for noticing the format - nothing special, I just wanted it to "look" different than a poem going down.

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!

I love sharing book titles with close friends, so I'm happy you are here! I want to share a book that you must add to your to-be-read list. Ruth Ayres has a brand new book titled  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers   published by Stenhouse Publishers. It's another must read from Ruth. There are many professional development books available to learn about mastering our craft of teaching.   However, there are only a few that make a true impact -- and this is one book that weaves raw truth, research, practical ideas, and story all in one {cute} little package.  In  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers , Ruth allows her worlds to collide during the creation:  "In this book, I entwine my three story lines as educator, momma, and writer." (p. 6) And she does this in an amazing way through sharing stories of her family, adoption, children living in hard places -- and doing their best  -- and healing. She shares how we can use research to understand how to
