Somewhere between being a speech therapist, running a practice, answering messages, writing reports, planning sessions… and being someone’s mama 🤍

I’m still figuring out this whole work-life balance thing. Some days I feel like I’ve got it, and other days it feels like there simply aren’t enough hours.

But becoming a mom has made me look at my work a little differently.

I’ve always loved what I do, but now I understand even more what it means to trust someone with your child. To celebrate the tiny wins. To worry about the things other people might not notice. And to just want your child to be understood, supported and loved exactly as they are.

I’m so lucky that I get to do work that I genuinely love — and then come home to my favourite little person. 🥹🤍

The balance might not always be perfect, but I wouldn’t trade either of these parts of me.

Speech therapist. Practice owner. Mama.
Still learning how to be all three. 🌿

🍎 Pretend food is more than just fun and games- it’s a great way to encourage language! As kids play, they learn new vocabulary, practice turn-taking and following directions, answer questions, and use their imagination 📋 No matter what they’re doing- cooking a meal, running a restaurant or simply having lunch with their teddy bears, they’re also building important communication skills along the way.

Take a look at these easy ways to incorporate food-themed language at home, and see how many opportunities it creates for learning 💙 Can you think of any more? 🧐💭
