May is Language and Communication month! I love this image from @languagefirst . As a Speech-Language Pathologist working with DHH children, this message rings so true. No matter the route- through the ears, eyes, or hands, language happens in the brain! #IamSHBC @speechhearbc

Never thought a soft drink jingle would make me so emotional. I will never look at Mountain Dew the same. Thanks, Orange is the New Black. #givemethedew #OITNB

You know that skipping rope rhyme, “Bluebells, cockle shells, eevie, ivy, over...” ? I just overheard a little girl singing that song, but she thought it was “bluebells, taco shells” and now she is my new favourite human.

Saw a bunch of Grade 5 girls coming back from a field trip singing “I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road” (Lil Naz X) in unison. I’m pretty sure when I was that age I was singing “This is the song that never ends” (Lamb Chop’s singalong).

I now understand why my parents always listened to the Oldies stations. I just bypassed all the current stuff on the radio and jammed out to “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” circa the year 2000.

Gave my son some tips on who can qualify as his Best Friend: 1) they are kind 2) they are fun to play with 3) you know their name. #3 was added after he declared that his BFF was Random Kid at the Park.

Spider-Man movie soundtrack on repeat around here. Turns out kids have hilarious misheard lyrics, because my son started singing @realblackcaviar’s What’s up Danger’s lyrics as “Cause I like hot cheese // on my nose” (Cause I like high chances // that I might lose)

Every Christmas, every Love Actually viewing, I hope for an alternate ending for Sarah and Carl. 💔

I consider myself a fairly competitive person, but when my kids are playing hide and seek I’m like the slowest seeker ever.

Turns out moms have been doing Intermittent Fasting for years. It’s called “forgetting to eat breakfast and surviving on coffee until noon.” We just did it before it was cool. 💁🏽♀️

Literally can't find my copy of "The Life-changing Magic of Tidying up" because my house is too cluttered.

Literally every time I order coffee: Me: “Hi! Can I get a grande medium roast with room please?” Barista: “Sure thing. Would you like room for cream?” Me: *stare* ... “Yes please.”

My kids always find new and creative ways to break me down. Just when I thought we were having a sweet moment building a marble tower, my 5 year old throws out, "Mom, your hands look old." Thanks, sweetheart.

My 5 y/o reciting a nursery rhyme: “Little Miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet Eating her curves away...” Son, I wish that’s how it worked. For the record, I like your version better.

Hearing explained: Air moves around and into a waxy channel, smashing into a tiny flesh wall. Three tiny bones jam into a tiny window and push fluid over tiny hairs. The tiny hairs send electricity to a pile of pink jello, where we hear an orchestra or a car horn or a bird.

Heard The Macarena today and instead of fond 90s memories all I could think of was the ridiculous final scene of Hotel Transylvania 3. #ruined
