It's late. I haven't written a thing.

 This week I scribbled some ideas and seeds in my notebook. But time has not allowed me the opportunity to just write.

 Particularly because of our newest obsession with a TV show.

 Now, here is what you need to know. I watch minimal TV. But so many people encouraged us to just watch.

 I'm thankful for "on demand" TV. The entire season ready to watch right at my fingertips.

 Weeks ago we started watching.

 Almost every night we watched yet another episode. Sometimes two.

 Tonight the last two episodes waited. And we had to watch both. I put my schoolbag to the side. My laptop remained closed. Slicing would have to wait until later.

 We watched and cried and couldn't believe the ending ... there's one more episode, right?

 Oh, when does the next season of This Is Us start again?

 Because I know that this story is worth watching.  And it's ...  Time for us.  Together.

    I was just talking to someone else who told me how much they love this show. I think I will have to look for it.

    This is Us pulls at the heart and shows the reality of relationships. Wish I saved the episodes to watch with Jeff!

    Time for us is important. It will be a long summer without Jack and Rebecca and their three kids.

    Sometimes there is actually something worth watching. Have yet to check out this show, but sounds like it's a "Must See". Love ya, Mom

{#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 ...

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...
