Week 22
Week 22 has been pretty calm so far. No major surprises, big purchases, or crazy excitement -- for me, at least. I spent the weekend relaxing at home (again) while Zach traveled to Marco Island for a company rewards trip. Since I couldn't go, he took his dad and...
Listen, Learn, Love!
Here's the truth: February is not my favorite month of the year. It's bitterly cold, and my stress levels are higher than usual since our local National Federation of Music Clubs Junior Festival takes place over two weekends later in the month. But February does have...
Weeks 20 & 21
Oh-oh, we're halfway there! Although I feel like I've been pregnant for YEARS now, I still have 19 weeks to go. Things are going very smoothly, and I'm feeling lots more movement now that baby boy is getting bigger. Speaking of getting bigger, so is my belly -- and I...
Clatter Clatter Clackity Clack
Rhythm sticks are one of those instruments I find myself including in music therapy sessions over and over again, because they can be used to address so many different skills. For that same reason, they have been a staple in my early childhood music classes throughout...

Baby Rambach is all boy! We were a little nervous that we'd have an uncooperative baby on our hands at yesterday's ultrasound, but the "money shot" was the very first our tech got when she turned on the screen. Lucky us :) We did have a chance to see our baby's...
Friday Fave: BOY or GIRL?
Okay, so this post is a little more personal than usual, but this is my most frequently asked question both personally AND professionally as of late. Everywhere I go, people -- my students, their parents, fellow therapists, perfect strangers -- want to know: are you...
You, Me & Music Therapy
In the music therapy world, January is social media advocacy month. During this time, music therapists all over the country use social media (blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and so on) to advocate for our field, share our stories, and spread the word about music therapy....
Week 19
My baby bump might not be very big yet, but this week sure is! First of all, I hit a really exciting milestone on Wednesday the 16th -- I felt the baby's first movements! They really did feel like little kernels of popcorn popping, though they have gotten more...
Week 18
Here I am at 18 weeks...not looking much bigger than I did at 15, 16, or 17. I know I'll probably regret saying this later on, but I really wish that bump would grow so that I "look" pregnant! As small as it may be, my belly has outgrown just about all of my regular...
