solsc: saturday 8/31



March Slice of Life Story Challenge

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.

    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. :-)

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.

{#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...

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 ...
