So I’ve been busy….

March 31, 2017 by Katie Filed Under: Family Life, Parenting 1 Comment

…we’ve added to our family AGAIN!

(Photographs thanks to my good friend Jane at Jane B Photography)

We welcomed E4 to the family last Fall- she’s already almost 6 months old!

We headed to Hawaii last summer, Tahoe in the winter, and have been living the crazy life that comes with FOUR kids!

It’s been fun, busy, stressful, but mostly beautiful.

I’m excited to finally have a little time carved out to start posting here again. And I’ve got some great things I want to share with you- that I hope will new helpful to you all both as parents and professionals.

A few things coming up in April:

  • I’ve teamed up with The Hanen Centre again- and we’ve got two great things coming your way: Information and deals on eCourses and a giveaway! You won’t want to miss this!
  • I’m going to share some books and other resources I’ve found invaluable to me in my parenting journey- that I also think are incredibly important for professionals working with children to check out too.

Going forward, you may notice a bit of a pivot in my content. Though I plan to continue sharing information on speech & language development- I will also be adding content relating to parenting- specifically parenting spirited children. I think those of you who work with children will find this information valuable in your work as well- so stay tuned. In addition, I’ve been asked to share some tips on photography (it’s my hobby) so look out for those too if you’re interested!

Also- recently an update caused my site to go a little wonky- I lost things and am slowly trying to get it all fixed. So if you’re looking for something and can’t find it- feel free to leave me a comment here or shoot me an email and I can add it to the list.

Happy SPRING!

Katie
