About Me

I am just a mom: a mom of three kids and one of them is hearing impaired. We are a busy family and I am a very busy mom. I want my hearing impaired daughter, Brooke, to have every advantage so I try to incorporate as many lessons and strategies into our every day life. Most of the teaching I do with Brooke is incorporated into our daily routines and parent-directed play. This blog will include some of our formal lessons but mostly it will be learning to listen in the everyday.

Lessons in Learning


We did a great Bible lesson craft which Brooke really enjoyed. We read Psalm 51:1-3 from Jake's Bible. We talked about how God will forgive us for the bad things we do and as a reminder of how God cleans us, we made crosses out of a bar of Ivory soap. The kids used a butter knife to cut and carve the soap into crosses. Brooke's turned out pretty good since she really took her time with this. We talked as they carved and then everyone jumped into the tub with their bar of soap for a bath. It was a reminder that we all do and say things that are wrong, but through the cross God is there to clean us up!
