Slice - Updating the 'do

By -


Just a quick post today, because I have so much on my plate! I write a weekly Star Wars post for the FandomPost, and I really should be typing that up right now.


UntitledLast year I gave up and started coloring my hair. I know, I know... It shouldn't really be a big deal. I spent so many childhood years hating my hair color that I don't even know why I got so attached to it as an adult.

As a kid I always described my hair as "mouse poop". Instead, I longed to have jet black hair or a curly red mop like many of my favorite characters in stories. WHO had just plan, boring, somewhere between brown and blond hair??

Then I grew to love it. I had lots of different shades of browns and blonds naturally, and I was terrified that coloring it would destroy that ordinary look. The grey threatened to completely take over anyway, so I gave in. I got it done.

Shall I also admit that I'm not very good about keeping up with being stylish? The last time my hair was cut and colored was June 25th - right before my trip to Ireland. Yeah... it's been that long. My nine year old pestered me for several months to remember to go get it done again, and then gave up a few months ago.

Now it is freshly colored and cut... and I really love it. I just wish I didn't have to spend two hours stuck in a chair to get it dealt with. I guess that's the real reason I only do it a few times a year.

I’m participating in a writing community at Two Writing Teachers. We write about a little "slice of our life" each Tuesday. In March - we attempt to write a slice EVERY day! Head over to their blog for the link up.
If you stop by and have written your own slice, please leave the link in the comments so I can easily find your post!

Parent Book Club - Guest Post

Welcome, my friends, to my first ever GUEST POST! My fabulous school librarian (aka @ReaderRoberts ) decided to hold a parent's book club this year, to give parents ideas for getting kids reading. This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library. Nothing unusual. This happens frequently to all of us when we booktalk.  What was different was that when the parent returned the book she made the remark that I should share this book with everyone. You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter. The...

Keep it Like a Secret by John David Anderson Blog Tour

Once again, I'm thrilled to read and review a new John David Anderson middle grade novel - even in the craziness that accompanies the end of a school year! About the Book (from the publisher) From the first moment Morgan can remember, Claire has always been there. Big sister and little brother. Cat and Mouse. They’ve always understood each other, saved each other, seen each other. And they stuck to their own personal code, unwritten but understood, that siblings were inseparable, that they had each other’s backs, no matter what. At least, they used to. Somewhere along the line, things between them shifted. Claire started fighting more with Mom, storming out of the house, spending more and more time away, and Morgan felt his sister and best friend slipping away. Now he spends nearly every night sitting awake in his room, waiting for the sound of her key in the lock. It’s a sound he hasn’t heard in nearly a week, ever since her and Mom’s worst fight ever. So when Claire finally calls...
