{excuses} #sol17

Slice of Life is hosted at the Two Writing Teachers
Join in and share a slice of your life. 
_____________________________________________________

 And just like that three weeks fly by without writing a slice.
But I have excuses:

 My brain is full and ready to share what's on my mind ... just not here.

 Many changes happening in my district ... that I'm not ready to share.

 New position on the horizon ... but I'm not sure yet.

 My girls turned SEVEN ... and I still cannot believe it.

 Kid parties, family parties ... oh, thank you cards to help write.

 The every day to do list ... that never (ever!) gets shorter.

 I know excuses shouldn't really matter.
So I'm back to writing a slice today.

    The balance of life is never easy. Just remember to enjoy those special moments with the girls as they will pass by way too quickly. Hugs, Mom

    Sometimes I share when I haven't fully formed a thought. (Read yesterday's nightmare) LOL It's funny. It was easier for me to post when I did it every day. I am thinking about making myself a schedule and also prewriting and holding them in my drive or in my wordpress drafts. It's ok to lapse, just don't let yourself quit. (I say for both of us)

    Seven!? Can't be. They were just babies. Happy Birthday to your sweet girls! New position - you make me curious. As for writing - well done for finding the vwords and time to write. I have lost my spark a bit.

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...

{#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...

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 ...
