Wow, it’s been a few weeks since I last posted on here. So sorry for the short hiatus. We’ve had a lot going on here the last few weeks. The end of August, our oldest kid’s preschool teacher contacted us about a home visit before school started so she could get to know our kidsContinue reading “School, Chaos, and More”

Medication, ADHD, and Depression
How do you know if your medication is working? If it’s antibiotics for a sickness, it’s fairly easy to tell because you get better physically, but how do you tell when it’s for something like depression or ADHD? Honestly, I’m not sure. And it doesn’t help that when I talk to my psychiatrist I don’tContinue reading “Medication, ADHD, and Depression”
PMDD and ADHD
Almost a year ago now, I had a severe depression episode… one where I thought about hurting myself and believed everyone would be better off without me. It was scary. It was at that point I started doing research and realized I may have PMDD. PMDD stands for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. I’m sure many womenContinue reading “PMDD and ADHD”
Spending Time With Little Ones
I struggle with imaginative play. As a child, I didn’t have a problem playing imaginatively with friends and siblings. But looking back on it, the majority of our imaginative play was acting out real-life scenes/events/people, rather than making up our own stories. Our play had all the limitations of the world around us. Now, asContinue reading “Spending Time With Little Ones”
How To Set Up Your Environment To Support You
One of the biggest things I’ve learned the last year is the importance of setting up your environment to support you rather than hinder you. Especially as an AuDHD-er, I struggle with so many things that Neurotypicals don’t. Just a couple off the top of my head: Time Blindness, which is not knowing how muchContinue reading “How To Set Up Your Environment To Support You”
A Few Ideas for Homemaking That Anyone Can Do
1. Practice Self-Care as a need rather than a want. Self-care. It’s a phrase often used by bloggers and stay at home moms on social media these days. But what does it really mean? Self-care is taking care of your mental and physical well-being. It can include things like taking a relaxing bath, meditating, workingContinue reading “A Few Ideas for Homemaking That Anyone Can Do”
Adjusting For My Weaknesses
A while ago I wrote about weaknesses and how it’s important to know your weaknesses and adjust your life so that they can be strengths instead. I said I’d write more about that, the next week, but then life got in the way, so… here is that post! I’ve noticed that I’m not great atContinue reading “Adjusting For My Weaknesses”
5 Things I Need To Feel Good
Today I’m thinking about what makes me feel good, strong, capable, healthy. All that good stuff. What makes me feel physically strong and able to tackle everyday? What makes me feel ready emotionally for a difficult day? What makes me happy? I’ve noticed when I neglect myself, I feel unmotivated, unloved, exhausted, awful, guilty… soContinue reading “5 Things I Need To Feel Good”
A Little Adventure
A few days ago, I started to write my blog post for yesterday… and then I got distracted and never finished it. So, I’ll postpone that topic till next week in favor of writing this post. Wednesday- It was a normal day. I was feeling overwhelmed, as I do pretty much every day. I’d wokenContinue reading “A Little Adventure”
Partnership: Neurodiverse Couples
I’ve been pondering partnerships, more specifically my partnership with my husband. I believe in equality and I’ve always had an innate sense of justice and fairness. So having a fair and equal partnership has always been a priority for me. It’s hard figuring out the balance, though. So often, we assume an equal partnership isContinue reading “Partnership: Neurodiverse Couples”
