Prior to adult writing time, I read aloud Jamie Lee Curtis' book, Tell Me Again About the Night I was Born. Then, thinking about SOLSC today, I decided to attempt to write about being given my son. It didn't work out so well as a narrative, so I switched genres. Here it is, in a… Continue reading SOLS: Mine Forever.

Stacey’s SOLS: Color Palettes
I walked into the paint store this morning to help a friend pick the perfect wall colors for her kitchen and family room. I walked out with lots and lots of paint chips… none of which were for her (she held hers). Why? Well, it's simple. I decided that I wanted to do a Color… Continue reading Stacey’s SOLS: Color Palettes
Ruth’s SOLS: What’s your mom do?
Yesterday afternoon, my oldest daughter and I were driving home from school shopping. Our conversation was one in which I was asking questions regarding important info that she should know -- things like telephone number; address; parents' names -- and she was answering. Then came this snippet: Me: What's my job? Hannah: What do you mean?… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: What’s your mom do?
Stacey’s S.O.L.S.
I spent an inordinate amount of time picking out the exact supplies I needed for my students' Meeting Area Supplies Boxes. I was almost set, but realized I needed contact lens solution. Hence, I parked my wagon by the end-cap of the aisle while I went to pick out the solution. I came back and… Continue reading Stacey’s S.O.L.S.

Stacey’s SOLS: Almost Skunked
Not so long ago, in a land called Connecticut... OR Once upon a time, when we were driving up to my in-law's home... Doesn't that sound tranquil? Well, it should've been, but it sure wasn't. Therefore, let me re-start my slice with some action! We pulled into the driveway with the brights of our car… Continue reading Stacey’s SOLS: Almost Skunked
Ruth’s SOLS: Giggles.
Tonight, while Andy cooked dinner and I continued my recovery, we sent the kids upstairs to play. The monitor was on and it was filling the entire downstairs with giggles. They were having so much fun and the continuous giggling was infectious. I found myself feeling better just listening to them. They are so happy.… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: Giggles.

SOLSC: Transported back in time
The Band Originally uploaded by teachergal The 25th Festival Italiano took place in Westport over the weekend. There were carnival games and lots of greasy foods. There was also live music. Emil Stucchio and the New Brooklyn Reunion performed. They sang some oldies, but goodies, which caused me to sing along to quite a few… Continue reading SOLSC: Transported back in time
A Class
With some of my hard-earned (wink,wink) birthday money, I decided to sign up for a class to fuel my creativity and help me get a bit of perspective on this whole parenting, living, teaching ride that I'm on. The class is called HAVE MORE FUN and is hosted on Big Picture Scrapbooking. I'm a bit… Continue reading A Class
SOLS: Bedtime Ice Cream.
At twenty-eight minutes before bedtime last night, I decided to be one cool mom and offer ice cream cones. There were three takers. I scooped three cones and we headed outside to the grass. I sat down and invited them to join me. They all did, making a perfect circle. I was thankful for the… Continue reading SOLS: Bedtime Ice Cream.
