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.

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”
Looking Back… I Never Could Have Imagined…
Seven years ago, I was in Mexico teaching kids English, exploring the country on the weekends and on vacations. I wasn’t dating and I had no dating prospects. I had just finished all but one class I needed to graduate and I walked for my degree, knowing I wouldn’t be back for school and I’dContinue reading “Looking Back… I Never Could Have Imagined…”
Change
A few weeks ago I went to clean up our snack mess, so we could color eggs for Easter, and I went to grab some cleaning wipes and couldn’t find them where they normally are. I looked all over the place but they weren’t in the other common places we might find them (on theContinue reading “Change”
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”
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”
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”
