SOLS:  Where does the time go?

Almost a year and a half

Looking back
at photos and videos
that captured those 
small moments in time.
The moments of
unbelievable firsts
of wonder
of amazement
that are
just adorable and funny.
How can it all be
such a distant memory in

Almost a year and a half?

    You are so right, where does time go? But the memory is brought back with the slices that have recorded pieces of time.

    You remind me of a poem about a little girl grown. I found it at this site-toward the bottom of the page: http://www.nytimes.com/1989/01/18/garden/metropolitan-diary-253089.html Time goes so quickly, but it's also nice that you are recording some of those memories!

    The weird thing is that one day you will wake up, your girls will be in college, and you will be clueless as to how the time ran away. Your poetry is a wonderfully lasting gift to you and your kids :)

    Dear Michelle,
    The time keeps going and going and at one point it seems that it is running away. Writing helps to slow it and sometimes even freeze it. Just a little.
    Thank you for your comment on my post. It mattered to me.

    Yes, it goes so quickly. I remember when you were just six years old and reading to kids in the nursery, thinking that one day you would be a teacher. Now many years later, I look at you and wonder "where did all those years go?". Enjoy each moment of each day with the girls, because they too will grow up way too quickly. Love & hugs to you & the girls! M

    I hear you on "where does time go." I just sent out "save the dates" for my daughter's first birthday party. It felt like just yesterday when I was pregnant.

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.

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 ...

{#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...
