Play therapy! It’s been challenging to learn how to adapt from my playroom to an online setting. Today was one of the first days in awhile that I brought out my play therapy puppets. I think it’s fun to play with puppets behind the screen. Strangely, it seems a little more real, it’s easier to hide and really become the puppet or -other- character. I’m looking forward to more in person and online play therapy sessions!

Coming soon... to my office! Welcome little plant. This Pilea mini plant is an offshoot of a plant I keep at my house. It grows and generates little baby plants which can then go off on their own. Pilea plants were spread around the world through friends giving them to friends.
