Summer is here. And I'm loving it. Even though I keep saying that being a full time mom and working through the to-do lists is more exhausting than going to school every day!

In summer, there's ...

More 
slow mornings
reading time
baking yummy goodness
dinner creations

More 
spontaneous moments
hanging out with friends
hiking, swimming, biking
it's past bedtime nights

More 
'yes, let's do it' days
summertime adventures
special memories captured
time to just live in this moment

I will continue to soak up this summer life and enjoy the mores ...



What do you enjoy MORE of in the summertime?

    Yes, to all of your "mores!" The "time to just live in this moment" is the "more" I definitely enjoy most from your list. There's an overwhelming sense of freedom - and the ability to almost stop time - when summer arrives. Soak in all of your "mores!"

    So glad to see you slicing again! Can't believe how grown up your girls are. I remember when you were potty training them!

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...

{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 ...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
