Women’s History Month

I wanted to take a moment and say how grateful I am to live now in this time. I grew up in the 90’s. I got to see strong women all around me all my life. Women who worked corporate jobs, women who stayed home with their kids. Both strong in their own ways. IContinue reading “Women’s History Month”

What are three objects you couldn’t live without? The three objects I couldn’t live without… 1. My cellphone with Wi-Fi connection or data. 2. My books! 3. My stuffed animals (they’re so soft and cuddly… if I had to pick one, though, I’d probably say my squishmallow Oakley 🥰).

Writing and Posting

I started off this year planning to post on a certain day of the week, once a week. Then I read something that said the best thing to do is post as often as possible, so I posted everyday for five days. I quickly realized that was too often for me as a mom ofContinue reading “Writing and Posting”

My “Special Interest” or “Hyperfocus”

Aka: Reading Monday! One common Autism perception is that they have a special interest. Most people think of trains or cars or math as a special interest Autistic people have, but the truth is a special interest can be literally anything. For me, the one thing that has been constant throughout my life is myContinue reading “My “Special Interest” or “Hyperfocus””

Book Review Monday: “How To Keep House While Drowning” by KC Davis

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall Thoughts: Highly recommend to anyone who feels like they are drowning in housework, and feeling down because they don’t feel like they’re meeting society’s expectations, real or perceived. I absolutely loved this book! It made me feel good inside and I related to so much of it, maybe because the authorContinue reading “Book Review Monday: “How To Keep House While Drowning” by KC Davis”

Bad Brain Days

Sunday was tough. There are just some days where I wake up and every decision I make or consider just leaves me feeling… bad. Like choosing whether or not to go to church yesterday. I felt bad thinking about going, but I felt just as bad not going. So, which do I choose? Do IContinue reading “Bad Brain Days”

I’m a Homemaker, Not a Stay-At-Home Mom

I always viewed homemaking and being a stay at home mom and housekeeping as different terms for the same basic job: keeping your house clean, and kids fed. It seems that a lot of people view it that way as well. I think because their mothers and grandmothers did it all. Before my husband andContinue reading “I’m a Homemaker, Not a Stay-At-Home Mom”

Bullet Journal 2023

Here’s just a quick look at my bullet journal spreads for 2023! I got a little creative for my cover page for the year, even though it’ll probably only last me around 6 months. Do you journal or use a planner? If so, what one? Do you bullet journal too?

Seeking An Evaluation

At the end of my latest therapy appointment, I asked my therapist about being diagnosed as Autistic. I’ve been researching for a few years and really relate to a lot of AuDHD (Autistic ADHD) women whose content I follow. My therapist recommended I take a quiz on a site just as a baseline to seeContinue reading “Seeking An Evaluation”

You Are 110% Worthy

It’s a struggle feeling like you’re worthy of anything when you don’t live up to neurotypical standards. What I mean by this, is it’s hard to feel adequate when all I see on mom groups is that as a stay at home mom I should be doing all the housework and childcare while my husbandContinue reading “You Are 110% Worthy”
