I can remember the exact moment I finally made the decision. I was at school, sitting at my desk before the day started. I was thinking about the previous night, where my husband and I talked in circles about me leaving my job, all the what ifs, all the pros and cons. I couldn’t make […]
Summer Self Care for SLPs
Well heyyyyy stranger! I could totally be talking to myself, it’s been so long since I’ve done a blog post. It’s not you, it’s me…I’m gonna be honest, the end of the school year chewed me up and spit me out. I literally spent the first week decompressing. And by decompressing, I mean I laid […]
Thankful Three: Sharing Gratitude for SLPs
This post contains Amazon Affiliate links for your convenience. It’s normal to start thinking about being thankful this time of year, but this is something that has been on my heart for a while. I just wasn’t really sure what to do with it, and to be completely honest, I am still not. But I […]

We all know that this Florida girl doesn’t venture north in fall and winter for specific temperature reasons…remember my concern over the Denver cold last year?

My Journey to Being an SLP
My journey to being an SLP wasn’t normal by any means, but I still love to share my story in hopes of inspiring just one other person who might be in similar shoes. I don’t have a great story about why I became an SLP. I knew I wanted to work with kids, but my […]
Brain Aneurysm Awareness
I love calendars…I mean… I have two planners for goodness sake. Some days are just days. Some have special meaning for one reason or another. Other days change your life. It’s funny how when all the dust settles on the life changing days, you never can forget the date. Today isn’t the day the changed […]
Where I am…
I’m tired. The kind of tired that seeps right down into your bones. The kind where I don’t blog much and you wonder if Jenn fell off the planet. Nope, I’m here. I might be in the corner rocking with all the lists of things I have to do and the unfinished schedule staring at […]
Hello, summer!
I’ve been a bad blogger. My last post was many, many, many days ago. The end of the year sort of hit me like hurricane of crazy and I have just felt swamped, so CSW took a backseat. I hated it! But, we have to do what we have to do. And guess what…here’s what […]
