Ok. We are late to the party. Life is busy and we really don't watch much TV. Some HGTV or a Blackhawks hockey game. 

"Oh, did you watch This Is Us last night?" My friend questioned.

"You don't watch This Is Us? Oh, you need to!" My neighbor said.

"I can't believe you don't watch it. You really should." My colleague suggested.

So many conversations about this show. Even Loralee mentioned it in a slice this week.

This prompted me to ask my husband last night, after the girls were in bed, if he wanted to watch it.

He was game. We started with one episode. We were hooked. What an ending! We had to watch another episode. 

We have never binge watched TV before. Jon even stayed awake past his usual nap time at 8 o'clock. 

After two episodes, it was late. I was getting sleepy. But we made it through another episode. Three episodes.

Thank you all for the suggestion to start watching. Here we are again tonight watching episode number four. 

{Update after finishing episode four. My husband quickly says: "Please tell me one more. This show is just too good." We just started episode five ... }

We'll get caught up soon enough to chat more about ... This Is Us.

  6. Three teachers told me I HAD to watch "This Is Us." It wasn't until the activity bus driver told me that I thought... okay. It's time. My hubby and I finally caught up last night. We love how it emphasizes that EVERYBODY has a STORY. Enjoy the ride!

{#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...

Picture Books I Love Right Now! #pb10for10

Check out other favorite Picture Book Lists #pb10for10 ______________________________________________________________ As we finish up our summer #cyberPD conversations, I'm quickly reminded that August is right around the corner and I need to start thinking about my picture book list to share. Ten books I love. Ten books I want to share. Ten books that I can't live without in my classroom. Ten books. I love coming up with lists of picture books I adore for various reasons. However, this year I came up with the most brilliant idea! (Well, at least I thought it was brilliant!)  Here are the picture books I can't live without  ... because these are the LAST 10(+3)  picture books I most recently purchased!  ______________________________________________________________ 1.  If I Built a School   by Chris Van Dusen My daughters read If I Built a House and If I Built a Car over and over and over. They couldn't wait to read thi...

{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 ...
