Disclaimers and TOU
Hey y’all!

I’m so glad you’ve
found my blog! The following is information isn’t necessarily the fun stuff,
but it’s necessary. If you have any questions or comments, you can contact me
via email under the “Contact Me” heading at the top of the home page.

I blog because I
enjoy it. It’s a therapeutic outlet for me, and it keeps my creative juices
flowing. Plus, it enables me to talk about one of my favorite subjects: Speech
& Language Pathology, without boring my husband. The information I write
about is meant to share activities for Speech/Language Pathologists, SPED
teachers, or General Education classroom teachers to use in their therapy or
classrooms. You will also find a great deal of activities and resources for
parents who wish to supplement their child’s learning or therapy at home. The information
on this blog is not, in any way, meant to replace actual therapy or an actual
evaluation performed by an ACTUAL ASHA
certified Speech & Language Pathologist or licensed teacher. If you are a
parent or teacher who has concerns relating to speech and language development
for a particular child or children, please seek out consultation and/or a
comprehensive evaluation from an ASHA certified Speech & Language
Pathologist. You can find local SLPs from ASHA’s website at www.asha.org.

The therapy materials,
activities, crafts, information, products, websites, and apps mentioned in the
blog are to be used as tools in conjunction with speech therapy only. They are
not intended to replace speech therapy and should not be used in lieu of speech
therapy services. It is up to each professional to determine what therapy tools
are applicable to the therapy process of each individual student/patient. In
some cases, some therapy tools do not apply to that patient/student. Therefore,
all content from my posts should be read and used at the discretion of the
Speech & Language Pathologist. Parents and other caregivers should discuss
with your child’s SLP which specific activities your child would benefit from
at home.

This is my
personal blog. The opinions expressed here are my own and not those of my
employer (former, current, or future) or of the university I attended.

It’s my favorite week of the year!!! True story: It’s my favorite week of the year!!! True story: I had never heard of Room on the Broom until I bought the book at a yard sale about 10 years ago. 🤩 I read it when I got home, and it was instantly my favorite! It’s such a sweet story about kindness and inclusion, and how friendships can change (and save!) your lives! 

I have 3 different book companions available for Room on the Broom, including a color companion, a no prep companion with different activities that are all no prep, and a new boom card companion. Plus, I just uploaded a book vs movie comparison FREEBIE for my email subscribers!

I LOVE Fall, but since we don’t host Thanksgivin I LOVE Fall, but since we don’t host Thanksgiving at our house, and because I put up a Christmas tree or two in just about every room of our house, we start (inside) Christmas decorations the day after Halloween. It literally takes me that long to get it all up!

Anyone else? When do you start decorating for Christmas? 🎃🦃🎄

This past week/weekend was one for the books! 4 Cinderella performances in 3 days, balloon arch building, lots of printing for the show, spirit week, running soccer games on Saturday, final production and breakdown on Saturday night, children’s choir singing on Sunday at church, followed by building a bike, a baby shower, and a ballerina’s birthday. Thankful for family and friends who jump in to help and show up to support our kids…and friends/neighbors who know your kids are probably eating cereal again and show up with breakfast feasts instead. We’re in the thick of busy season, but thankful for every memory with my crew! ... See MoreSee Less
