:: A l’il paper crafting for various events. Harper had a Thanksgiving Feast at preschool last week and she was in charge of bringing in napkins.  I bought white napkins like a donkey – WHAT MOTHER in the age of Pinterest, and all the DIYness in the world buys white napkins and thinks that will be acceptable?  Her highness was… View Post

A Literary Thanksgiving

in Uncategorized on 28/11/13

Since it’s a long weekend, I think that if you have time you ought to take a trip to the library or a great bookstore in your neighborhood.  If you’re in DC, check out Politics and Prose.  Or, if you’re in Raleigh, take a look at Quail Ridge Books.  South Bend has a great used bookstore, too.  It’s called Erasmus… View Post

New Journal for Winter Break

in books, journals, reading, summer, Uncategorized, writing on 26/11/13

I don’t anticipate my kids will get bored over the break.  I mean, my kids never nag, whine, or tell me there’s nothing in the house amongst the dolls, puzzles, books, crafts, legos, and two thousand dinosaurs to do. But just in case, I made these. There’s an All About Me page, with questions to capture what kids think and… View Post

Bible Story

in Uncategorized on 21/11/13

Every Sunday, the pastor at our church does a very brave thing: he talks to the children for a few minutes and somehow relays the message he will be preaching about in a way that they can understand. One Sunday, he put up his hand to show a way to pray: each finger representing a different person to pray for…. View Post

“A List of Things for my Mom to Write About” – Hadley

in Uncategorized on 19/11/13

We went to Hadley’s conference recently and her teacher told us that one of her favorite things to do is work at centers. She writes in her journal, looks up words in the dictionary, writes recipes, and does research. And she makes list of things I can write about. It’s quite a list with lots of variety, don’t you think?… View Post

Hi! I’m Callie. I’m a writer and teacher living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I write Creative Nonfiction, and in my oldest daughter Hadley’s words, I “use my imagination to add a bit of sparkle to the story.” I’m a contributor for Coffee+Crumbs, Off the Page, Makes You Mom, and Relief Journal. My writing has also been featured on Art House America, Tweetspeak Poetry, Good Letters, and Altarwork, and in 2014 I was one of the cast members of the Listen To Your Mother DC show.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University, and I am working on my first book that will be published through TS Poetry Press.

When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth k When I was in fourth grade, I got my front tooth knock out during a baseball game. I was in the dugout, trying to make a butterfly in the dirt with my shoe. The batter, who’d hit not just a home run, but a grand slam, came running in and everyone cheered and so did I because I’d gotten really good at reading cues for when a good thing happens in sports. I even attempted a high five, and somehow I knocked my face into her batting helmet, thus spending the good part of that weekend summer day in the dentist’s office getting a root canal.

No teeth were lost in this latest incident, but I was lost in a bit of imagining on Sunday when I tripped and fell on Packard while running. I look like I’ve been in a bar fight and my shoulder looks similar to how Wesley’s looked after being attacked by an ROUS. 

But I’m going into work today, and when I told my boss I’m nervous about how I look she said, “It’s OK because you have a story,” and if that isn’t the best thing you could ever say to me, I’m not sure what is. 

So, here I am with a story. Thanks to all my friends and family who’ve been so kind and keeping me laughing.
