5 Thoughts on Receptive Language for Parents with Late-Talking Toddlers
In just 3 short months, little Rowan is going to be TWO.  How did this happen so fast? Seriously. One interesting thing going on with him at this age is how his receptive language is surging, yet he hardly produces real words.  So this got me thinking and wondering how many other young toddlers out there are this same way (or if the norm is to just be jabbering already)... Or is it just half and half?

​I couldn't find any hard statistics on how many toddlers are slower to produce expressive language, but I do know that it is more common in boys.  I also read that 70-80% of late talkers will outgrow a language delay (if they have no delays in comprehension). But then this kind of sent me down a rabbit trail as I wondered, how do you know if you might be in that other 20-30%?

Happy 4th of July, friends! I am so seriously tired today, but I'm trying to get some sort of patriotic excitement going.  (slowly waves a tiny flag while sipping coffee)

So, I had two cool things happen this week: FIRST, My cousin-friend Kelly started a bucket list blog before her 33rd birthday called Thirty Three Things.  It reminded me of my 2016 goals for the year, and I realized I'd be slacking on my resolution to lift others up.  In fact, I feel like I've actually had more days of just trying to keep myself afloat than being there for others... but I guess that's young mom-life for ya. SECOND, My awesome buddy Sarah left a secret, out-of-the-blue package on my doorstep filled with an encouragement letter and the gifts pictured above.  I haven't read them yet, but you know that sea salt chocolate is already opened.  Has anyone else read either of those books? 

​So all of this made me think of a challenge for this holiday...

"You don't need a reason to throw a garden party anymore than you need a reason to throw a birthday party. It's a garden party. You don't need a reason."  
-- Andy Bernard
Thanks to Sarah Elizabeth Cleveland of Repertoire, my calligraphy was included in the sweetest garden party shoot she designed for Social South Magazine.  My favorite part of the shoot is definitely the florals made by my bestie, Sarah Woodall.  Her centerpiece was amazing, and all of the girls had their own flower crown -- which, let's be real, makes me jealous. I wish I could wear a flower crown every day!  Everything was captured beautifully by Love Be Photography.
