solsc: saturday 8/31



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


Saturday mornings are simply my favorite.  

Saturday mornings are not for waking up to the BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! of the alarm clock.
Saturday mornings are for sleeping in, except today when the girls woke up with the daylight.
Saturday mornings are for talking in bed.  I love listening to the girls' conversations in the morning.

Saturday mornings are not for rushing.  No racing along or pushing out the door to school.
Saturday mornings are for snuggling in the big bed, giggling and enjoying being silly.
Saturday mornings are for eating a little snack in bed in our pajamas watching a cartoon. 

Saturday mornings are not for anyone else or being anywhere else.
Saturday mornings are for questions like,"Mommy, what are we doing today?
Saturday mornings are for family.  We have the choice and time to do what we want to do.  

Saturday mornings are simply my favorite.  


What do you simply love about Saturday mornings?

    I love Saturdays for sooo many reasons . . . the best is the no rushing for sure. It's the one day most of the time when any schedule . . . heck there is no schedule and I LOVE THAT!!! I think that will be the best thing about retirement . . .NO SCHEDULE or at least the schedule will be what I want it to be! Enjoy the day with the girls and hubby :-)

    The snuggling and giggling in bed - sweet. Saturday mornings are slow, simple and sweet. I hope that your day will be filled with more giggles and no rush.

    For us retired folk, Saturday mornings aren't really any different from any other day of the week! So glad you can enjoy some extra snuggles & giggles with the girls. Hope this Saturday is a slow paced one. Love ya, Mom

    Relaxing, doing what I want, meeting friends for breakfast, relaxing some more. Just being different from all the other days. I have to say, I miss the cuddling times and being silly on Saturday mornings.

    No wonder Saturday mornings are such favorites in your home, Michelle!

    This sounds lovely! I like to go out to breakfast, either with a friend or the newspaper. But this morning I taught a class.

    Saturday mornings rank right up there with Friday Pizza night! It won't be long when those Saturdays won't be so leisurely - your girls will have extracurricular activities. That is when the "next fun" starts! Enjoy!

    Michelle,
    I just love this. I remember Saturday mornings like this. It's a gift to have a little bit of time to choose to use the way we wish. No alarm clock. No rushing. Just time.

    I enjoyed the structure of your piece today.

    It's great that there is one place in the week where time is put on hold and you can savor those small, but so significant, moments. Loved the structure, may need to borrow it this month. :-)

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...
