Creating a spa day getaway at home

Speech and language activities to promote language development in pre-schoolers
Ava is a good talker but I would say she has been a little bit behind where she should be with her speech. A lot of the time she would say things and only myself or Jordan would know what she was saying. Mainly because we spend a lot of our time with her so we got used to how she would say things. Even if they weren’t the correct way of saying things. I noticed that she was getting a little lazy with her speech and we weren’t helping things because we didn’t correct her when she wasn’t saying things properly. So over the last few weeks, we have…

One of the main things that I hate in the bathroom is that they have covered so much in silicone just to make it look finished. Which didn’t really work as it’s…
