{#sol15} real saturday 28/31


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

"What's tomorrow Mommy?" 

I think hard before I answer, not so sure.  "Saturday."

"Real Saturday?"

I think again, just to be sure.  "Yes, real Saturday."

You see, all this week was spring break.  Nine days with no big plans.  So every day was a Saturday.

Today is real Saturday.  
Our day to sleep in -- especially after a late night of 
early birthday celebrations with family.  
Delicious dinner out, cake and ice cream in,
laughter and talking in between.

Today is real Saturday.   
Time to snuggle in the big bed,  
lounge in pajamas all morning 
because we have time to take it slow
with no big plans or places to go.

Today is real Saturday 
before real Sunday 
before we head back to school on real Monday
when we're dreaming of 
more Saturdays to come all summer long.

    As it is my first day of break it felt like a real Saturday to me too- too bad my cats did not get the memo! Your break sounds like it was relaxing:)

    Enjoy your "real Saturday" before you head back to that "real Monday." I love the days when I don't have to hurry and PJs all morning are OK.

    A real Saturday for sure. Love the quote - you will never have "this day" again, but there will be many tomorrows to enjoy every moment of your life and theirs. Love ya, Mom

    Love it, Michelle. Ingrid asks "is this a 'stay-at-home' day? They do love those days, don't they, even if they love school too?

    I love the not real Saturdays, when time is free to do as you please. Real Saturdays bring the real schedule back into focus, usually I'm not ready for that. Enjoy these final days before life is back in the real world. Love your poster at the end! How true!

    I loved the term "real Saturday". Some days are just more delicious.

    I am longing for those summer Saturday's today. Since I went to a conference this week, I didn't really have a spring break with my girls. I am looking forward to quiet moments with them when I get back tomorrow and as I jump right in to spring term.

    Love the Jen Hatmaker quote.

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...
