I'm drinking a perfect cup of tea and eating Saturday breakfast. Like always, Andy made it for me. Snuggled under a blanket with my laptop balanced on my knees, writing in the day. No plans for laundry or dusting or meal planning until later, much later. I'm burying myself in fiction, allowing the characters to siege my… Continue reading Writing in the Day (Ruth’s SOLS)

Unhurried. Finding the magic in the middle of living. Capturing a life of ridiculous grace + raw stories.

Fridays (Ruth’s SOLS)
I like Fridays not just because... I get to dress casual. It's the end of the work week. I come home to a clean house. We spend the evening with friends. I pick Sam up at the library. Everyone is more relaxed. But because tomorrow is Saturday.

Happy Family (Ruth’s SOLS)
Tonight was just us. No getting ready for something. No running to someplace. No expecting visitors. Just us. Hannah and I made mint brownies. Sam and Stephanie played puppy sale. Andy read the mail. We went for a bike ride. After dinner we lingered at the table. Talking, laughing, breathing in and breathing out. We… Continue reading Happy Family (Ruth’s SOLS)

I Don’t Wanna Blog Tonight (Ruth’s SOLS)
I'm tired. Don't want to open my computer. So sore. Itching to write some fiction instead. I blog anyway. Because I know writers write when they don't feel like it. I know writers write every day. I know writers have tenacity. I want to be a writer.

Not Enough (Ruth’s SOLS)
One thing Slice of Life has made clear to me this month is how full my life is. Being on the look out for a slice each day makes me hyper aware of all the small moments filling up my days. I'm intentional about the "stuff" in my day. I think about saying yes and… Continue reading Not Enough (Ruth’s SOLS)

Kindergarten Roundup (Ruth’s SOLS)
Tonight I took the little guy to kindergarten roundup. Unfortunately we spent most of our time in long lines. The thing is, I couldn't help but stand beside him in awe. He practiced patient waiting. He read a book. He drew a picture. He talked to the people around us. He smiled and smiled and… Continue reading Kindergarten Roundup (Ruth’s SOLS)
