Imagine how much more our children could thrive if the goal of school wasn’t compliance, but curiosity. Imagine if we gave them room to grow, explore, and learn through experience rather than lectures, worksheets, and endless tests.

It’s Okay to Need Help: A Reflection on Motherhood, Autism, and Burnout
Being a stay-at-home mom to two young kids is a full-time job—one I cherish deeply. I love my daughters and the life I’m building with my family. But I’ve come to realize that love isn’t always enough to keep me going, especially as an Autistic and ADHD adult navigating motherhood. Before I became a mom,Continue reading “It’s Okay to Need Help: A Reflection on Motherhood, Autism, and Burnout”
Neurodivergent Struggles with Homemaking
I am so sorry I haven’t posted more recently. I’ve been switching medications, and adjusting to new schedules, and celebrating Halloween and all that fun stuff, plus seeing a new therapist and going through a “dark night of the soul”. Essentially everything is changing for me, for my family, etc and I’m doing my bestContinue reading “Neurodivergent Struggles with Homemaking”
School, Chaos, and More
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”
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”
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”
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”
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”
Cleaning With Littles
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”
