It's late. I haven't written a thing.

 This week I scribbled some ideas and seeds in my notebook. But time has not allowed me the opportunity to just write.

 Particularly because of our newest obsession with a TV show.

 Now, here is what you need to know. I watch minimal TV. But so many people encouraged us to just watch.

 I'm thankful for "on demand" TV. The entire season ready to watch right at my fingertips.

 Weeks ago we started watching.

 Almost every night we watched yet another episode. Sometimes two.

 Tonight the last two episodes waited. And we had to watch both. I put my schoolbag to the side. My laptop remained closed. Slicing would have to wait until later.

 We watched and cried and couldn't believe the ending ... there's one more episode, right?

 Oh, when does the next season of This Is Us start again?

 Because I know that this story is worth watching.  And it's ...  Time for us.  Together.

    I was just talking to someone else who told me how much they love this show. I think I will have to look for it.

    This is Us pulls at the heart and shows the reality of relationships. Wish I saved the episodes to watch with Jeff!

    Time for us is important. It will be a long summer without Jack and Rebecca and their three kids.

    Sometimes there is actually something worth watching. Have yet to check out this show, but sounds like it's a "Must See". Love ya, Mom

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 ...
