A Brave Writer's Life in Brief

Poetry Teatime: The Double P Curse

Poetry Teatime! The Double P Curse

Most of my life I’ve been living under the power of the Double P curse. Anyone else crippled by the combined efforts of Perfectionism and Procrastination? Well over a year ago my best friend introduced me to the lovely Brave Writer. Being a long time fan of tea parties and gifts I was immediately intrigued by Tuesday Teatime (or rather Tisane Time in our home).

P & P kept this simple treat at a distance as I felt compelled to go all out but not the time or energy to make it happen. Thankfully the voice of Truth assured me that a simple mug, muffins from the freezer, a TV tray and random poetry books were more than enough. The kids loved it. Even my reluctant reader wanted to keep reading. Victory on so many levels.

Yet, my ego was still holding out for the China and linens so fast forward a few months and invite some friends.

Now don’t even ask me how much longer it’s taken me to actually compose and share this journey with you. lol

All the best in this journey,
Samantha

Poetry Teatime: All’s well that ends well

Poetry Teatime! All's well that ends well

Hi, Julie,

This is s fairly typical teatime for us, my youngest reading out of our absolute favorite poetry book, The Harp and Laurel Wreath by Laura Berquist, and my 11 yo waiting her turn.

However, as you can see our almost 2 year old beagle Augustus (Gus for short) decided to join in. He really wanted the treats on the table and nothing, not even the 11yo’s head was going to get in his way! It all ended well. Treats were taken out of his reach, the 11yo was none the worse for wear, and the 9 yo just kept reading!

Teatime Tuesday is our absolute favorite part of our Bravewriter lifestyle.

Sincerely, Laura

Poetry Teatime: Shared language

Tuesday Teatime! Shared language.

Hi Julie,

Today we had our first teatime in many months. It was a great success for so many reasons: my six-year-old daughter put the whole teatime together from baking the vanilla cake, to setting the table and making the tea to having my husband join us.

Yet, my favorite moment was when both kids recalled how to say no thank you to tea from our read aloud of Felicity an American Girl. I love that we have a shared language from our read alouds. We laughed and then enjoyed our tea and poetry!

Thank you for your inspiration.
Maura
