My Name is Auntie Chelle!

Thank you to Stacey, Betsy, Dana, Tara, Beth, & Anna for this amazing platform to write and share writing! What a wonderful community you've created! I'm honored to be part of it. Join us at Two Writing Teachers. 

In school, I'm known as Ms. Haseltine. When I am home with my family, I'm Auntie Chelle.

It's so much fun being Auntie Chelle! I get to be silly and laugh. I have interesting conversations. I make silly faces.

I play games. I go on adventures! I act as a jungle gym.

Monday night I got to take a car ride and see Christmas lights!

I was flabbergasted with the amazing lighting displays! After, we stopped at a family favorite, The Pizza Shop, for a cheesy concoction! Mmmm!! While we waited for our food, we practiced our writing...

Here are some of the words that Jack knows already!

 Today Jillian and I get to spend some time together! YAY!
We are so excited!

    Being an Auntie is the best! I love the pictures from your special time together. Jack's serious face over his writing and Jillian's grin, both are just adorable. Two of my nieces will be here two days after Christmas. I can't wait for some Auntie time!

    Michelle,
    I have loved being an "auntie" for over 30 years but am also eagerly anticipating being a grandma! I think my "auntie" training will be put to good use!!! (Yep, that old that I'm also a GREAT aunt!!!!)

    It is clear to see from your post and pictures that you are definitely a "favorite auntie" too! Yesterday, my niece and nephew arrived from Dallas (we live near Milwaukee) and I got to spend the day with them. We had a pizza lunch at Chuck E. Cheese and then picked up come crafts at Michaels to make for Christmas presents. We are making memories that these little guys will hold forever. Happy holidays from one favorite auntie to another!

Here I Am

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking for the past couple of days about this post...but I can't think of anything to write. Frozen in my failure, I want to quit, but I push through and show up here...even though it seems pointless. Who wants to read a blog post about nothing?  I begin to panic a bit...Have I "lost it"? My passion for blogging? My ability to blog? Why can't I think of something clever? What do I have to say that anyone will want to read? (By the way, I'd have all of these answers if it was you asking the questions!) Should I quit? Give up? Accept defeat? NO.  Instead, I show up.  Instead, I remember the words I said yesterday to my seventh-graders,  "Show up. It gets easier." Instead, I write and show grace to myself. Instead, I remember that blogging is a muscle that I haven't stretched in a while and I need to warm up, I need to take some deep breaths. Here I am. Showing up to the page. I'...

Someday...

Thank you to Stacey, Betsy, Dana, Tara, Beth, Anna, Kathleen & Deb for this amazing platform to write and share writing! What a wonderful community you've created! I'm honored to be part of it. Join us at Two Writing Teachers . Do you have dreams? Kids are good at dreaming. I find many adults struggle with it. Speaking for myself, I get so caught up in the everyday drudgery of life, that dreams get nudged aside until they disappear.  It's important to have dreams. I've been writing about my dreams in my notebook and so I thought I'd share my dreams here... 1. Writing a book.  While I'd love to get a book published, my dream is to write a book...to complete the act of writing it.  I've started on this dream and it's hard and challenging and exciting and amazing.  2. Living at the beach.    I love the water, the waves, the ocean smell, the seafood, the sand...all of it! The Outer Banks is my favorite place in the...

Chasing My Dream

I'm doing it. I'm chasing my dream. I've always wanted to run writing retreats and workshops for people, but I've always been too scared to do anything about it...until now. I don't know what's changed...maybe I've changed. I'm not allowing the fear to stop me anymore. I've started Selah Writing Retreats.  The past couple of weeks I've been getting the business end in order. I thought I would hate that...I don't. It's scary, but I am surprising myself with how efficient I am. Yesterday I went to a bank to set up a bank account. The woman I met with was kind and helpful and so enthusiastic about my dream. My website is set up. I've done lots of work on it. I hope you stop by and let me know what you think. It's  selahwritingretreats.com . Balancing creative with business has been challenging but fun. Creating the website, getting a federal tax id, making business cards, planning dates... My favorite voxer group is called Butt Ki...
