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.

Ruth’s SOLSC: Moments.
Recently I uploaded 218 photos from the past nine days. (It's a good thing I'm ruthless with the delete button, eh?) As I was looking through them, searching for a SOLS to share, I realized my summer is being composed of one little moment after another. How lucky am I?

Memoir Monday: Letting Loose.
Have you ever played Sardines? In this twisted version of hide-n-seek, one person hides and then everyone else looks for him.

During a recent round, when my husband hid… Continue reading Memoir Monday: Letting Loose.

One day I was packing my bag, getting ready to go to another school when I looked up to notice Arielle was still sitting at her desk, staring at me. The rest of the class (and teacher) had already headed to lunch. "What's up?" I asked her. "I wanted to tell you thank you for… Continue reading Ruth’s Student Story: Arielle.

Student Story #2: Lee-lah / Layla
Lila (pronounced Lay-lah by her mom and Lee-lah by her) entered my fifth grade class in 2006 with a big, bright eyes and a tremendous smile. She was the kind of kid that was quiet, who followed the rules not because she had to, but because she wanted to. When I called her name aloud… Continue reading Student Story #2: Lee-lah / Layla
