One Lovely Blog Award!


Thank you to Renee from Keeping Speech Simple for nominating me for this One Lovely Blog Award!!  Check out her blog that is loaded with ideas for therapy!!!! You can find her blog here!


The rules for accepting the award are:
1. Thank and link back to the person who nominated you. 
2. Share 7 things about yourself. (See below for some fun facts about me!)
3. Nominate other bloggers and comment on their blogs (usually on their about page or contact directly if necessary) to let them know.



7 facts about me:

1. I am still an SLPA, or a speech language pathologist assistant. I just completed my 3rd year working in the schools.  I plan on returning to grad school, just waiting for a program to accept me!  This was my first year applying. I know this is a process in itself and I have patience and faith that one day I will become an SLP!



2. My husband and I are expecting our first baby! We are beyond thrilled and excited to be blessed with a bundle of joy! Baby Mendoza should be arriving November 2015.





3. I love to cook.I like trying out new recipes and learning about different foods from different cultures and trying to cook those dishes! My husband is a picky eater so it is hard to make masterpieces in the kitchen! lol



4. I love to eat! Food is my friend! lol I do try to maintain a clean eating diet but chocolate and I have this never ending love affair! I have a big sweet tooth but try to maintain it to only once or twice a week. I love shrimp, chicken, corn, fruits etc! I love to try new foods as well. I am trying to expand my palette and discover new favorites to add to my ever growing list of foods I like!


5. I’m a bookworm. I love to read! While I was in school, I was just like Hermione Granger in Harry Potter! Speaking of which, that is my favorite book series! I can read those books over and over again! I am currently obsessed with the Aurora Teagarden mysteries and the Waterfire Saga series. 


6. I love my pets! We have a cat named Scabbers and a Puppy named Belle! They love each other as well and even though they like to wrestle and it seems like they hate each other, when they settle down they always look for each other and cry when the other is away.




7. I love to learn from other SLP's. I love looking at all the different blogs that are out there and just learn as much as I can about the field from other Slp's. Its amazing how blogging lets people share their experiences and materials to help each other become better therapists! 


Here are my nominees: 

1. SLP Chelsea   - Chelsea has a super cute blog with tons of therapy materials and cute activities!
2. School Slp – Kim has a fun and colorful blog where she shares her therapy materials and Ideas! Love it!
3.Speech Therapy Fun  - Jennifer has an adorable and colorful blog where she also shares materials, ideas! Cute!! 
4. Speechasaurus – Amy has a wonderful blog where she shares links, reviews and therapy products for all!! Amazing!

I know I am short a couple blogs but several have already been nominated :) These are some of the fabulous bloggers I had a chance to collaborate with during our spring blog hop!


Now it’s your turn to go and make someone’s day, like Renee made mine! Go and nominate a fantastic blogger!​
