Why I’m Secretly Glad American Idol is Back

2018-05-02T02:12:43+00:00May 2nd, 2018|

I don’t know about you, but I was pretty excited to hear that American Idol was coming back on the airwaves in 2018. (Don't be ashamed if you were too!) I’ve watched on and off throughout the years since it began in 2001 and have always loved the show. I’ve tried watching the other vocal [...]

Amp Up Your Work on Auditory Perception Skills

2018-07-21T00:16:31+00:00April 10th, 2018|

It's been a while since I've been on the blog to write! My family went on a Spring Break trip at the end of March (to St. Pete Beach and to see "real" mermaids at Weeki Wachee Springs!) and I've been playing catch up ever since we returned. But, I am very happy to be [...]

I returned home late Sunday night from the National Music Therapy Conference in St. Louis, MO. I had so much to tell my husband that I didn't fall asleep until midnight (which for someone who has had a rough go with sleep this past year that's saying a lot!) I had a wonderful time that [...]

The Sights & Smells of Fall

2019-09-26T14:02:50+00:00November 15th, 2017|

Sensory sessions based on a theme are my absolute fave. Right now, it's all about Fall ya'll. Although it never truly feels like Fall here in Miami (high today of 83!) I still try to get into the spirit of the season in my sessions. Using Fall and all the goodness that goes along with [...]
