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.

  6. 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 to understand how to
