We purchased our first home about 10 years ago. I remember the bank talking about the binder we would get at closing. Wow, what a great idea, I had thought. I hadn’t owned a house before-so having a binder full of home maintenance tips and information about the home sounded like a fantastic idea. It […]

Mama-on-days: Unplugging and the Family Vacation
The Challenge: Unplug and enjoy a family lake vacation. The Experience: This was my first family vacation since I’ve been blogging. I know that I’ve been spending more time creating projects and writing up posts and made a conscious decision to unplug for my vacation. This ended up being harder than I would have thought. […]
Toss it In: Fun ways to work on speech goals
I love tossing games during speech therapy. I toss my cards across the room, slide them down gutters, and whip them at walls frisbee style. (I even do these with my personal set of Kaufman cards. I’m probably crazy…) It’s a super sneaky way of getting in lots of repetition for articulation practice. Here are […]
Mama-on-days: Pinterest projects
The Challenge: This weeks challenge was to finish 2 projects on Pinterest. I love Pinterest. I mostly like to hoard my pins. Pin it and forget it. So I was excited to take some time to actually browse my Pinterest boards and pick two projects to complete. For awhile, one of the people I was […]
GFTA-2 Supplemental norms: Are you missing out?
A few months ago, I was reading the the Goldman Fristoe Test of Articulation-2 (GFTA-2) Administration manual. I know it sounds like a HUGE nerd alert, but it’s not like I brought it along on a beach vacation. It was to help me finalize new evaluation templates at my work. I had always found the […]

June Link Up
Laura, over at Oh How Pintearesting has done it again. Her June blog link up is Father’s day themed with mustaches. When I see Father’s Day cards or Father’s day presents at the store, it’s like getting hit in the gut. It takes my breath away for a second. It’s only been a little over […]
Embracing my inner dork.
This will come as a shock to no one: I am not one of those super cool people. I am a dork. Being a dork is awesome because I rarely get embarrassed. I just embrace my inner dorkiness and 781.3. Did anyone get that? I don’t fall as much anymore-mostly I just trip and pretend […]
Video modeling: Editing out cues
Video modeling is an effective tool for strengthening new behaviors, teaching new skills and working on social skills. In general, video modeling should show your client what you WANT them to do. We want them to have as many positive models of the expected behavior as possible. If you want to work on Michelle Garcia […]
Adapting to the child
I adapt to the child. Most of the time, I get clients who love coming to therapy. They get big smiles when they see me and give me hugs when they are leaving. I have lots of kids who can sit at the table and do drill work while we play a game. But sometimes […]
