Let me start by saying I’m definitely not an expert and I am constantly evolving my routine, and what matters most to me is changing often. Especially as my littles grow and need more or less attention. When my oldest was around 18 months, she loved helping me with chores, so I’d hand her laundryContinue reading “Cleaning With Littles”

Getting Ready for 2023
How do you prepare for the new year? Do you deep clean your house? Declutter? Set goals and intentions for the next year? Set up your new bullet journal? Well, I must confess I don’t do much of the cleaning or decluttering, but I do try to set goals and intentions. Most of the timeContinue reading “Getting Ready for 2023”
Managing Holiday Expectations
I have a love/hate relationship with holidays. Here’s why. Every year I have such grand plans for the holidays and all we’re going to do. Lots of gifts (or minimal gifts if I’m in that state of mind that year). Lots of decorations to make the home feel cozy and warm and full of lifeContinue reading “Managing Holiday Expectations”
Just A Little Life Update
The last couple months have been… crazy to say the least. After my last post on here, I got really depressed and suicidal. Luckily that only lasted a couple days, but because I was feeling suicidal my husband stayed home a couple days and we had people come stay with me while he was atContinue reading “Just A Little Life Update”
What I Don’t Love About Habit Trackers
If you’re anything like me, you need someone (or something) to keep you on track. For me, that’s my husband, daughters, phone apps, and my bullet journal. My husband and daughters remind me of my goals or routines, my phone apps give me something concrete to check everyday, and my bullet journal allows me toContinue reading “What I Don’t Love About Habit Trackers”
Adjusting My Life To Accommodate ADHD
By Clarissa Enos Plagmann A theme I see in a lot of groups I’m in that are full of stay at home moms is that their husbands/partners expect them to do everything in the home: finances/bills, childcare, cooking, housework/chores, etc. Not only is this unrealistic, even for neurotypicals, but it’s impossible for someone like me.Continue reading “Adjusting My Life To Accommodate ADHD”
Making Life Easier For Those Who Struggle
Today, my husband told our daughter E (3yo) that she needed to share the tv with other members of the family. She wanted to watch a movie and he reminded her what they discussed about taking turns and asked me if I wanted to watch something first. I said it was fine if she watchedContinue reading “Making Life Easier For Those Who Struggle”
I Need To Focus On Myself
I am struggling. I’m struggling with society’s expectations of me. I’m struggling with my knee which still hurts when I do too much or bend it too far. I’m struggling with keeping my house tidy. Essentially I’m struggling with everything society tells me I need to be doing, and in the process I’m filling myContinue reading “I Need To Focus On Myself”
My Morning Routine
Lately I’ve been focusing a lot on my physical and mental health. For the last month, that has meant figuring out the best way for me to start my day. I still have a lot of work to do, but I thought I’d share my current morning routine. I like to start my morning byContinue reading “My Morning Routine”
Keeping Home
As a neurodivergent homemaker, something I have always struggled with is keeping a tidy home. I’m fairly good at picking up toys, and loading and running the dishwasher at the end of the day, but anything more time consuming or involving more steps seems to fall by the wayside. Some of my bigger struggles: sweepingContinue reading “Keeping Home”
