Buzzing about Speech & Language
If you follow me on Instagram, you might know that I’ve been giving my speech room a makeover. It was bad, y’all. It needed purging and re-organizing like nobody’s business. I am happy to report that it’s finally done in a workable state. Is any organizing ever completely done? I did learn a few lessons and maybe some secret hacks… Read More
The other day I sat down to update my to-do list at work. It kept getting longer and longer.

I love decorating and making things pretty. Everyone who knows me knows that I’m pretty much a professional shower-giver. If you are getting married or having a baby, I’m your girl to give you a cutesie party. 🙂 I try to put this to good use in my speech room too. Every couple of years I like to change up… Read More
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” ~Col. 3:23-24 Life can be hard. Work is hard. This is time of year that things usually begin to snowball for us SLPs. Progress reports, evals, RtI, Medicaid,… Read More
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here marks the start of another page in the book called 2014. Woop woop! At the start of a new year, people traditionally set resolutions or goals of what they hope to accomplish. Despite the fact that probably 99.8% of resolutions do not actually get achieved, here are a few more anyway – speech style! 🙂 Resolved… Read More
