Adventures of being an SLP, a family gal, a person who runs, and a lover of peaceful moments in bush Alaska!

As a gaming family, this was far worse than the roomba box cat. @Cephalofair , it was worth the wait. Our cat thinks so too. #cephalofair, #momsplaygames, #boardgames , #FamilyTime, #cats , #CatsofTwittter

Student: “wide, wide”
Me: those two sounded the same, try to make them sound different like this…, now you try”.
Student: “bike, yay!”
Me: “Yep, those are very different” 🤣

Not the usual signs of spring I expect on a run, but hey, this is Alaska, we keep an open mind. 🥴👀🥷🏽🦄☄️☀️

I wanted a book that uses local language and was culturally relevant, so I made one. It’s been a success and it targets so many speech/lang goals at the same time. Kids blossom when they can relate to something meaningful. #speechtherapyworks, #alaskanslp, #schoolslp, #SLP

@CourtenayElaine But are they 75% off now? 🙃

[TheRunningSLP @Umm_Erica]

Today a student asked me if I am a doctor. Another student asked if I was 24 yrs old. I’d say it was a pretty damn good day in the world of a speech therapist. 🗣️🧠👩🏾‍🏫🧜🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️ #slp, #speechtherapy, #schoolsp, #ilovemyjob, #Loveyourself

An essential speech therapy toy, except no kids here know what this is. So we made guesses about what it might be used for, then talked about weird little cars that drive around & leave mail in metal boxes.🤪🙅🏾‍♀️🚜🛸🎠 #alaska, #slp, #schoolslp, #lovewhereyoulive, #onlyapostoffice

I loved #ASHA2022 But I need to shout-out @VocalFriesPod & @leadersproj for their meaningful presentations that are extremely relevant to my work in rural Alaska. Thank you for bringing these issues to the front line. #slp, #speechtherapist, #schoolSLP

[TheRunningSLP @Umm_Erica]

So much this! #run, #running

[TheRunningSLP @Umm_Erica]

I mean, makes an slp heart pitter patter. Truly. #slp, #speechtherapy, #schoolslp

Running in rural alaska, I expect to see things like bears, moose, foxes, eagles, porcupine, lynx, etc. but I don’t expect to see flattened frogs. This was a shocker and made me stop on my run to gawk 🐻 🦊 🦅 😼🦄 #runninginalaska, #run, #alaska, #running, #doyouseewhatisee

Daughter: don’t laugh at me, I was choking!
Son: you didn’t choke, you just aspirated a little. (said in his most sarcastic tone) 🗣👩🏾‍🏫🤓🤨

@CourtenayElaine Don’t forget: running skirts are a’running!

[TheRunningSLP @Umm_Erica]

My pants were too snug and didn’t fit this morning. Then I had a student call a “square” a “squactogon”, and I knew that everything was going to be ok. 🤩🦹🏽‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️☄️🌈⏹🦑🛑#schoolslp, #slp, #speechtherapyworks, #itsthelittlethings, #preschoolers, #yogapant

Can we just remove this pic from the EOWPVT? 🤣 I can’t take the guilt I feel when I have to mark a response as wrong when clearly the student is correct when they tell me this is Patrick. It’s Patrick!!! 🤪😵‍💫🥴⭐️🏖 #SLP, #schoolslp, #speechtherapy, #alaskanslp, #spongebob

Ran the hardest most brutal 3 miles of my life post-Covid. I’ve jumped back in to 7mi runs after 3-wk breaks from a sprained ankle easier than that. Fist bumps 🤜🏽🤛🏽 to runners running after Covid. Middle finger 🖕🏽 to Covid. #run, #running, #runner, #runalaska,

Our dear cat has a few opinions about the Emirates of Hacan. He is for sure the primary emirate of all time and displeased I didn’t choose warfare. @FFGames. @SpaceCatsPod 😉😼👑 🌏 💫 #boardgames, #familyfun, #gamingmoms, #playmoregames, #CatsOfTwitter
