Just because...

Happy Thursday! This week went super far off the plan! I unexpectedly had 3 kids this weekend after their mom's car broke down. Plus I had the littlest one again last night. 3 kids ages 1-14, there was ZERO chance I would be recording the podcast this week. Sorry friend, but if you have a great question, hit reply and maybe it will be next week's episode! In the meantime, here is a special "Just because..." bonus promo code just for being an awesome subscriber to the newsletter. Promo Code:...

Happy Thursday! This week had got to uninstall and reinstall a toilet this weekend. Did you know I had talents beyond teaching kids to read? I actually got more done on my "to do" list this past week than I have finished in a month! Maybe it's all this glories sunshine this week! My handyman adventures this weekend inspired this week's episode of the podcast (link below) Facts about dyslexia you probably didn't know: Up to 25% of CEOs and founders of major businesses have dyslexia Dyslexia...

Happy Thursday! I was chatting with a random, kind lady standing next to me on my break between clients last week. She made a comment about how cool my life sounds... but she doesn't know the full story. I said I had just gotten back from Portugal and that I'd been traveling to Europe a lot in recent years. But there is 90% of my life that is utterly boring! I take awesome vacations because in my real world: I work far too much Spend far too much time with my mom and my dog Almost never go...

You can find them all HERE and use promo code: LOVE24 On the Podcast: I don't teach kids to love to read, but sometimes it happens So many times I've...

Hey Friend! The storms in CA have been extra crazy this weekend! Downed trees, power outages, and lucky for me, I kept my power thanks to my city having it's own grid and awesome linemen that replaced and strengthened transformers before the storm hit. But the good news for you is that I had tons of time on my hands when it wasn't safe to drive anywhere. So the Writing Booster Workshop is available now! A full week ahead of schedule! Whoo hoo! Full newsletter will be in your inbox as usual on...

Happy Thursday! I hope you are well. The germ monsters have attacked the SF Bay Area and several students got hit with covid, colds, and flus this week. I freakishly had 6 empty session slots, which means I had far too much free time on my hands to set up the Writing Booster Workshop! Plus, this week on the podcast, we're talking about what "done" looks like. Links to the episode at the end of this email. Right now, I'm pretty done with germ season! Haha! Today Only - Right to Read...

Happy Thursday! Hope you are doing well as I know many storms hit this past week or two around the US. There has been plenty of rain here on the west coast! I've gotten lots of positive feedback about the writing training that for now I'm calling the Writing Booster Workshop (but could make a title change for later). What day would be best for a LIVE Writing Booster workshop? Note: it will never be before 11:00 am ET. It will also be recorded for those who register to receive if they can't...

Happy Thursday! Don't forget to join me at the SPED Summit next week! It all starts Monday. It's mostly for educators, but I'm sure parents would benefit from it, too. Getting back into routine this week... I'm also mapping out my year. First, I mapped out my vacations! Then I covered my calendar in the silly stickers and colorful pens that bring me an unreasonable amount of joy. I'm planning some live workshops to help you out this year! I'd like to do 1-2 in February/March. Here are some...

Happy New Year! I took a much needed break from working for the holidays, so no new podcast for this week. Part of that is because I was clumsy and rolled my ankle carrying a giant crate down the stairs the day after Christmas. Thankfully, enough years as a soccer player, I'm a pro at using kinesiology tape and an ankle brace! I made these adorable crochet critters while propping my foot up on New Years Eve. They are called Woobles and I've never made more than a blanket or scarf, so it was...

Happy Holidays! I love my job, but I was counting down the hours to the holiday break today! I've been trying to get so much done this week so I can take a genuine break next week! As we enjoy the time at home for the holidays, my niece and nephew reminded me of how we like to spend time together and inspired this week's episode of the podcast. If you already listened, these are the shelves my nephew helped me hang this weekend. He was a great helper and was pretty mesmerized by how I used a...
