The other night I was working on finishing up a project when I saw a decent sized (but not monstrously large) spider crawling across my wall. I looked around quickly for some spider killing equipment but didn’t have any shoes or kleenexes handy. Plus every once in awhile I start to think about reincarnation. What […]
What’s New at Speech2u: October Version
I’m loving Halloween month. Have you seen any of the “gross” balls? They are the squishy balls with water where you can squeeze them and see gross things inside the ball? Yesterday we were playing with it, and I think a kid bit it and it EXPLODED all over my room-in my hair and all […]
Mama-on-days: The Halloween Meal
I’m obsessed with creating Family traditions. I want to there to be magical moments in my son’s childhood. Last weekend, my husband and I went away on a romantic getaway that was marred by the fact that my brother in law needed to bunk with us. Ixnay on the omanceray. My mom was picking me […]
Vacation dollar dash!
I love a challenge and Teach Speech 365’s dollar dash linky party sounded like a lot of fun! I wasn’t sure I was going to make this one as I am on vacation. It could’ve been a romantic getaway weekend since my mom is watching the Biscuit. But my brother in law is with us, […]
Halloween Paper Craftivities: Rerun

A gazillion Ghoulish Games and Apps
I was looking for an app similar to a Toca Boca app but that practiced trick or treating skills. You could choose the costume and then go up to the door, say trick or treat and get a piece of candy. Maybe you could pick the type of candy (good or bad like real eyeballs.) […]
My Favorite Halloween Books for Speech Therapy
Have I mentioned that I live in the Halloween Capitol of the World? I love Halloween and am lucky enough to be able to include Halloween lessons in my Speech therapy sessions. I do make sure I check with individual parents first however. Last year I stocked up on some Halloween titles. Here are […]
Halloween Paper Crafts
I was at Archivers (a scrapbook store) a few years ago (when I still had time to scrapbook.) They have die cut machines which allow you to punch shapes out of scrabooking paper. One of the punches was of a fence and the other one I made was of a house with a door that […]
Halloween masks
I used to have a whole box of masks and novelty headbands. “Ex. I’m a rabbit, I’m the devil etc.” _ that I would use in speech therapy. I left it at an on old job and found that I missed it. 1. Eye Contact/Facial Referencing: There’s nothing like putting on a pair of rabbit […]
