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

Ok. We are late to the party. Life is busy and we really don't watch much TV. Some HGTV or a Blackhawks hockey game. 

 "Oh, did you watch This Is Us last night?" My friend questioned.

 "You don't watch This Is Us? Oh, you need to!" My neighbor said.

 "I can't believe you don't watch it. You really should." My colleague suggested.

 So many conversations about this show. Even Loralee mentioned it in a slice this week.

 This prompted me to ask my husband last night, after the girls were in bed, if he wanted to watch it.

 He was game. We started with one episode. We were hooked. What an ending! We had to watch another episode. 

 We have never binge watched TV before. Jon even stayed awake past his usual nap time at 8 o'clock. 

 After two episodes, it was late. I was getting sleepy. But we made it through another episode. Three episodes.

 Thank you all for the suggestion to start watching. Here we are again tonight watching episode number four. 

 {Update after finishing episode four. My husband quickly says: "Please tell me one more. This show is just too good." We just started episode five ... }

 We'll get caught up soon enough to chat more about ... This Is Us.

    I haven't watched a full episode yet, but I have a feeling that if I give myself the time, I'll be hooked.

    Three teachers told me I HAD to watch "This Is Us." It wasn't until the activity bus driver told me that I thought... okay. It's time. My hubby and I finally caught up last night. We love how it emphasizes that EVERYBODY has a STORY. Enjoy the ride!

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...
