Hi to all my friends, family and supporters of the site!

Seeing that this is my first blog to all of you, I may fail miserably at it! LOL!
If you are visiting our site for the first time (as most of you are since it just launched!), you must be curious about what we are doing at www.createplaylearn.com and I am so glad! So, let me tell you a bit about me and about why this site has been created.

I am a transplant to Ann Arbor, having moved here 4 years ago with my husband, Mike, and two children, Taylor and Dylan.
As a licensed Psychologist, I have worked in various clinics and hospitals over the last 13 years, working with all ages, but specializing in children and adolescents

As a mom, I have volunteered my time in my children’s classrooms, gone on field trips,organized reading groups, and yes, even chaperoned an over night (3 nights!) this past June for Haisley Elementary 5th grade trip….(and it was certainly a trip!!! SO much fun!) Last year, I organized a very successful girls running group that I was very proud of it, and enjoyed immensely!

Last spring, I decided that I wanted to merge my professional skills with my passion for helping children and adolescents.

I don’t know what my blog will focus on each entry, but I can promise that it will have a mixture of programming information, topics that interest me (and hopefully you!), community events, cool website links, opinions, reflections, photos and much more!

Our blog site will also be highlighting organizations, charities and products that we support.
Coming soon to our site: Reading clubs for all ages and preschool programming.
