It’s only Monday, but it feels like Friday.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s just one of those weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 Busy today, no time to think today, first storytime tomorrow, first tutoring of the school year tomorrow,\u00c2\u00a0regular work on Wednesday, second storytime on Thursday, 3 Apples Storytelling Thursday night,\u00c2\u00a0regular work on Friday, family reunion for Jim’s family in New Hampshire on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The book groups start\u00c2\u00a0next week, and I came up with a great idea today.\u00c2\u00a0 I always send each book group member a reminder postcard a week or so before the meeting.\u00c2\u00a0 Since our book groups are called “Bagels n’ Books,” I’ve created a cute postcard that I use each time that has a photo of bagels, an ampersand, and a pile of books.\u00c2\u00a0 Very cute, the kids love it, and it’s a good reminder.\u00c2\u00a0 BUT this month I did something a little different.\u00c2\u00a0 Since we’re discussing The Diamond in the Window<\/em>, Jim and I drove to Concord yesterday and took some photos of the house.\u00c2\u00a0 I had planned on printing a large copy of the best photo for display on my desk, so the kids could see what the house looks like, but I had an “Ah-a!” moment this afternoon.\u00c2\u00a0 I took the best photo of the\u00c2\u00a0house and used it as the graphic for the reminder postcard, along with a caption that reads:\u00c2\u00a0 “The Diamond in the Window House, Concord, MA<\/em>.”\u00c2\u00a0 On the back of the postcard I typed a note to the kids saying “I look forward to discussing one of my favorite books with you!”\u00c2\u00a0 I love the finished product, and am proud of myself for coming up with this idea in the midst of a crazy day.\u00c2\u00a0 Yay me.<\/p>\n

Hopefully there will be other creative moments this week…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
