_____________________________________________________


We have returned from our long pause on life.  A vacation to the beach.  A time away from it all.  A plentiful amounts of small moments to cherish with family.  Slow living.  Time to breathe.

Sigh.

We have returned from our long pause on life.  Two days of getting acclimated back to home life and summer living.  No real schedule yet.  Pajamas until noon.  Slow living.  Time to breathe.

Sigh. 

We have returned from our long pause on life.   But I'm going to continue some slow living this summer.  Living in the moment.  Treasuring being present.  Slow living.  Time to breathe.

Sigh.  And.  Breathe.

    I love this SOL. Remember to Sigh and Breath. Perfect start to summer. This so reminds me of a mentor text to use with students.

    Slow living is what my summer vacation is going to be about too! The school year is so full of rushing. I'm ready for few scheduled activities, lots of sleeping in, and a whole bunch of doing-whatever-we-want!

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.

(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...
