Join In The Nevada Walk For Apraxia
You and your family can join in the 2022 Nevada Walk For Apraxia this Saturday, November 5th at Centennial High School. Organizers of this event expect it to be the biggest and best yet. Registration is free with the event beginning at 10am. There will also be a special ceremony starting at 11am that day.
So, what is Apraxia? Oh, don’t worry, I had to look it up on Wikipedia to find the answer. That website states: “childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and developmental apraxia of speech (DAS),[3][4] is an inability to utilize motor planning to perform movements necessary for speech during a child’s language learning process.” This speech disorder does not mean that the child cannot understand language. Instead, they have an inability to turn language into audible sounds.
According to a press release from Apraxia-Kids.org, this Saturday’s event marks the 15th year for the Walk For Apraxia. The 2022 Walk For Apraxia will raise funds for the charitable organization Apraxia Kids which is “the leading nonprofit that works to strengthen the support systems in the lives of children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS).”
One of the heart-warming feelings that occurs at these events is that parents and families can come together and share stories with other people in the community who actually know what Apraxia is and how it affects children.
So, if you and your family are looking for something worthwhile to do this Saturday morning, and you want to work off all of that extra Halloween candy, you can find out how to join in the 2022 Nevada Walk For Apraxia by clicking this link.

11 Squishmallows That Your Kids Will Love This Holiday Season
1) Darla The Fawn – Christmas Squishmallow
Squishmallows have really started to lean into the holidays! This Darla the Fawn one is super cute and great for the holidays! It will make a super adorable gift for under the tree.
2) Anya The Caticorn Mermaid
According to the Squishmallows Collectors Guide, Anya is one of the staple Squishmallows. She’s an adorable caticorn (a cat and unicorn mix) as well as a mermaid! Honestly, the more I look at these the more I get it. They’re just down right adorable.
3) Anastasia The Axolotl
Some of you are probably thinking “how in the world do I pronounce that A word?” If you’re not familiar with these funny looking guys an Axolotl (ax-suh–laa-tl) is are kind of like unique-looking salamander. And people love them. This Anastasia one from Squishmallows is extremely popular too and for me, the fact that she’s a pretty teal blue makes it that much better!
4) Raisy The Ramen Bowl
I may have added this one for the sake of myself. This one is just so cute. I don’t know why the foodie Squishmallows melt my heart, but they do. I mean it’s Ramen!!! What’s better?
5) Babs The Blue Jay
Another straight off the list from the collector’s guide. Babs is a blue jay and also one of the 14-inch Squishmallows which means she’s a bit bigger. Squishmallows do come in various sizes so be sure to keep an eye on those as you order!
6) Angie The Shiba Inu
I will tell you right now that this one looks to be one of the most popular Squishmallows. It currently doesn’t have many left in stock and it’s a bit more expensive than the others. But if you are on the hunt for this Squishmallow for your little one, it’s definitely worth grabbing now.
7) Oogie Boogie From The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Nightmare Before Christmas isn’t just a phenomenal Halloween movie it works well as a Christmas movie which is weird, but we love it. And Oogie Boogie, who happens to be a villain, is a lot of people’s favorite character! So this Squishmallow might just be the best gift if you have a huge Oogie Boogie fan on your holiday shopping list.
8) Regina The Corgi
This one is definitely on here for me. If anyone wants to get me a gift for the holidays… this is it!
9) Scented Mystery Squishmallows
When I found these I thought about how cool this would be as a stocking stuffer! They’re 5-inch (so essentially mini) mystery Squishmallows that are scented. So you could get a couple of them to put into your kids’ stocking and then they get a fun mystery Squishmallow or two.
10) Mystery Surprise Box Squishmallows
And speaking of mystery Squishmallows, this box comes with 3 mystery Squishmallows. I definitely think this is a great option for folks who want to give their kids or teens a fun surprise for the holidays.
