My kids are 4 years old and 18 months old. I love them so much, but they drive me crazy. April 29th-May 7th we road-tripped down to Las Vegas, NV from Willamette Valley Oregon to see my family. It was my 18 month old’s first time seeing all but her Grandpa (who visited in February,Continue reading “How To Not Lose Your Mind Road-tripping With Littles”

My Values and Beliefs: My Life Purpose
Taking a break from my normal content to share some other personal thoughts and observations I’ve had recently. I was scrolling Pinterest earlier today, and came across this quote by Rick Warren (who I don’t follow, by the way, but I am Christian) “Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose life has noContinue reading “My Values and Beliefs: My Life Purpose”
Money Really Can Buy Happiness
I know we’ve all heard the saying “money won’t buy happiness,” and it’s always accompanied by some story about a poor man who is happy because he’s grateful for what he has and he has a good family and so much love, and some story on the opposite end of a wealthy person who isContinue reading “Money Really Can Buy Happiness”
Why Self-Diagnosing is Valid
I know what you’re probably thinking… that professionals know best, and you can’t really know unless you see a professional. Well, here’s my take on why that is fundamentally wrong. 1. Professionals can’t know everything. Yes there are specialists who specialize in diagnosing Autism, but regular therapists and counselors don’t know everything. It’d take aContinue reading “Why Self-Diagnosing is Valid”
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”
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”
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”
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”
