Batch Cooking

Peanut Butter Cookies

From home. This week I baked peanut butter cookies. As I did so I felt very much in the moment. I made a batch cooked some rolled the dough into balls and froze the rest. It's a great trick for small families like mine where you don't want a dozen cookies on the counter. As I baked and prepped it felt wonderful to have something for my hands to do. I realized it's one of the few times this week I've felt truly mindful and haven't thought about work or about the pandemic. If you want to go give

Confession? I (Sarah) haven't scrolled my feed for awhile because what I'm seeing is bumming me out. SLPs treating telepractice like a burden. Or like an impossible summit to climb. Me? I am thankful for telepractice. I've been doing it for more than six years now and it's changed my life.

We believe we can be the helpers no matter how small we believe our contributions feel. We believe we can (and must) do better for those whose livelihoods require contact with society at large at this time - the front line workers. This includes medical workers city workers police firefighters EMTs those working in grocery stores and pharmacies - and more. We appreciate you. We'd love to hear about your loved one on the front lines in the comments.

Sarah here with an adoption update. For those who don't know my husband and I are currently adopting a child from China. We are a world away from our child with no timeline of when we can meet them. There are moments where this feels unbelievably difficult. We are hoping that our paperwork can be processed (it's in Washington DC now when it's approved it'll go to China) soon. With the virus there are no expected timelines. We had planned to come home this summer with our child. That is no lon

That we can move through fear to love That we will be OK That our government can come together to help its citizens at a time we need our leaders to work together for our survival That as a culture we can move past the chaotic fear of realizing what we are up against and move toward feeling connected to the whole - connecting to

Negativity Bias

Cookie Dough Ice Cream

It's St Patrick's Day and we are aren't feeling as lucky as we have in previous years. But we've been reading about negativity bias and forcing ourselves to list out five positives each day. It doesn't make anything else seem less serious but it does give us a few moments each day with a positivity bias - even if it's just for a moment or two. Here are ours.

Get messy. Make mistakes. Take it with a lighthearted attitude. We are all growing and growing just isn't easy. You've got this. Sarah here. I'm reposting this oldie but goodie because lately I've been doing a lotof new stuff. And you know what? Learning new stuff can be frustrating. My work isn't what I want it to be.
