SOLSC: Saturdays - 5/31

The Slice of Life Story Challenge 
is hosted by the Two Writing Teachers.

Saturdays

What I love about Saturdays . . .

. . . waking up s-l-o-w-l-y without the assistance of the alarm

. . . snuggling in -- "Just five more minutes."

. . . devouring scrumptious blueberry pancakes with hot syrup

. . . browsing the local newspaper, friendly e-mails, educational e-newsletters, and updated blogs 

. . . lounging in my pjs for as long as I possibly can

 . . . organizing a family-friendly activity for the afternoon

. . . spending every waking minute with my girls: playing, learning, reading, conversing, and loving

 . . . anticipating a date night with my one and only, even if we're nestled on the couch with Netflix

 All the while, I'm ignoring that bursting bag that I dragged home from school.

Saturdays are what I love!

There is always Sunday.  Thank God for two day weekends!

    Oh how I identify with you...
    Saturdays are my unplanned days. It is the one day of the week that I do not put any pressure on myself. On Sunday, I will get it together and do all the things that need to get done but Saturday is mine to do with whatever I wish (children have left the nest). School bags remain unpacked.

    Me too--although sometimes I switch and let Sundays be my day, but usually Saturday. It's nice this morning to be able to read all the blog posts I want, at my leisure, without worrying about getting to school on time!

    Enjoy your day!

    I enjoyed reading your Saturdays list. It sounds like they are great! I liked your idea of doing a list for a solsc post.

    I love a good list! Saturdays are by far my favorite because those papers are always waiting for me on Sunday!

    My lazy days are Sundays, but you hit the nail on the head with this post. So much of my life is go, go, go, that it is nice to have one day to just chill and let what happens happen.

    I certainly love those Saturdays, Sundays too. You listed all the good things. It's really a poem, isn't it?

    Saturdays, a perfect day of the week with of course, Sunday looming overhead. I tried to switch them up but I couldn't.
    But Saturdays, a perfect day for some SLICING!

    Oooh! I love this post! I was looking at others' posts, hoping to be inspired, and yours did just that! Thanks for the idea. "Borrowing" ideas is the best form of flattery, right? Happy Saturday!

    It's crazy I know but I love getting up early on Saturdays just so I can get more of the day!

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 ...

soLs: a week

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the  Two Writing Teachers I can't believe it's already been one whole week. Sometimes vacations are over in a blink, but other times vacations move slowly to enjoy every moment.  That's how this vacation is going - slowly, but with so much to enjoy. Of course, it is hard being away from home and the every-day-usual, but what I have truly enjoyed the most is the evenings.  After the girls are tucked in bed, it becomes my time to do what I choose to do because I have NO to-do list!  Nothing!  No cleaning, no laundry (thanks Mom!), no dinner (thanks Dad!), no dishes, no nothing.  Instead I have guilt-free time to read books, browse Twitter, catch up on blog reading, scrounge...

soLs: a (proud) little secret

Slice of Life Stories hosted by the  Two Writing Teachers Come here.   Come closer.   I have a secret to share with you.   I'm really excited about it and I haven't told anyone except my mom , my hubby, and my friend, colleague, and writing buddy . I receive notifications of comments on my blog on my email at school.  I think all of you will agree, it's always exciting to see that a new comment was left behind.  It never gets old.  Everyone loves a visitor, a voice that let's you know that you've been heard, and a comment that keeps you writing. I know I don't say it enough, but I really appreciate when YOU stop by and YOU leave a little note because YOU matter to me.   Most comments pour in on Tuesday as slicers are doing their very best to read and leave a supportive note that day.  A few comments tr...
