solsc: it happens 17/31



March Slice of Life Story Challenge
hosted at the Two Writing Teachers
Join us for a month of writing!


Every once in awhile it happens.
Life with toddlers is exhausting.

We're on the go and keeping busy.
Going, and moving, and doing.  

playing games
dressing up
lots of laughing
coloring projects
hair accessories
keeping the peace
baby doll dressing
puzzle making
sometimes crying
tea parties
hide-and-seek
always enjoying

During the weekend we try.  
And yesterday I did it too.

Every once in awhile it happens.
A nap.  A much needed nap.

    I'm babysitting for my toddler grandson for two weeks at their house. It is surely an active age, and I am thankful for his nap times though I haven't been able to take one myself yet!

    YAY for naps! I love how you write about your girls, I wish I had blogged when my children were younger. They are going to have some precious treasures when they get older because of your writing.

    Those napping days are numbered, so take advantage when you can. Sunday afternoon is the perfect time to steal a few quiet moments and rest your eyes.

    Sorry, it must be that transitional time for the girls to begin giving them up. Hope you mean all of you got the nap!

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...
