{#sol15} real saturday 28/31

"What's tomorrow Mommy?" 

I think hard before I answer, not so sure.  "Saturday."

"Real Saturday?"

I think again, just to be sure.  "Yes, real Saturday."

You see, all this week was spring break.  Nine days with no big plans.  So every day was a Saturday.

Today is real Saturday.  
Our day to sleep in -- especially after a late night of 
early birthday celebrations with family.  
Delicious dinner out, cake and ice cream in,
laughter and talking in between.

Today is real Saturday.   
Time to snuggle in the big bed,  
lounge in pajamas all morning 
because we have time to take it slow
with no big plans or places to go.

Today is real Saturday 
before real Sunday 
before we head back to school on real Monday
when we're dreaming of 
more Saturdays to come all summer long.

    As it is my first day of break it felt like a real Saturday to me too- too bad my cats did not get the memo! Your break sounds like it was relaxing:)

    Enjoy your "real Saturday" before you head back to that "real Monday." I love the days when I don't have to hurry and PJs all morning are OK.

    A real Saturday for sure. Love the quote - you will never have "this day" again, but there will be many tomorrows to enjoy every moment of your life and theirs. Love ya, Mom

    Love it, Michelle. Ingrid asks "is this a 'stay-at-home' day? They do love those days, don't they, even if they love school too?

    I love the not real Saturdays, when time is free to do as you please. Real Saturdays bring the real schedule back into focus, usually I'm not ready for that. Enjoy these final days before life is back in the real world. Love your poster at the end! How true!

    I loved the term "real Saturday". Some days are just more delicious.

    I am longing for those summer Saturday's today. Since I went to a conference this week, I didn't really have a spring break with my girls. I am looking forward to quiet moments with them when I get back tomorrow and as I jump right in to spring term.

    Love the Jen Hatmaker quote.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...
