{#sol15} loving hands 24/31


The March Slice of Life Story Challenge
hosted at the Two Writing Teachers
Join us for a month of writing!

A day with 
Grandma and Grandpa means
an extra set of loving hands

Lots of conversations
and funny replies

Playing a variety of games
and then more games

 Grandpa's magic trick
and yoga poses with Grandma

Helping around the house
with dishes and laundry

Cleaning up after a yogurt spill
with extra love and patience

Distractions away from Momma
so she can sneak away upstairs

Phone calls and email responding
made in peace and quiet 

Playing on Grandma's Kindle
or practicing crocheting again

Extra smiles and laughing
with lots of hugs and kisses

An extra set of loving hands
Is a day with 
Grandma and Grandpa

    Extra hands are always appreciated. I had to laugh at the momma sneaking away upstairs. What a great week you will have!

    You gotta love those grandparent days! Especially when you can slip away for some me-time. Enjoy your break and that time with your parents.

    And such fun we are having. They are at a delightful age and just make us laugh at all their antics and chatter and giggles. Looking forward to several more days of Grandma & Grandpa time. Love ya, Mom

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 ...

soLs: a week

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the  Two Writing Teachers I can't believe it's already been one whole week. Sometimes vacations are over in a blink, but other times vacations move slowly to enjoy every moment.  That's how this vacation is going - slowly, but with so much to enjoy. Of course, it is hard being away from home and the every-day-usual, but what I have truly enjoyed the most is the evenings.  After the girls are tucked in bed, it becomes my time to do what I choose to do because I have NO to-do list!  Nothing!  No cleaning, no laundry (thanks Mom!), no dinner (thanks Dad!), no dishes, no nothing.  Instead I have guilt-free time to read books, browse Twitter, catch up on blog reading, scrounge...

soLs: a (proud) little secret

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the  Two Writing Teachers Come here.   Come closer.   I have a secret to share with you.   I'm really excited about it and I haven't told anyone except my mom , my hubby, and my friend, colleague, and writing buddy . I receive notifications of comments on my blog on my email at school.  I think all of you will agree, it's always exciting to see that a new comment was left behind.  It never gets old.  Everyone loves a visitor, a voice that let's you know that you've been heard, and a comment that keeps you writing. I know I don't say it enough, but I really appreciate when YOU stop by and YOU leave a little note because YOU matter to me.   Most comments pour in on Tuesday as slicers are doing their very best to read and leave a supportive note that day.  A few comments tr...
