Hi!
I believe life is a journey filled with twists and turns along the way- but made easier with good friends.
This blog is a great example of that- I actually started it in 2017! As a mom to three kids-and finishing up my psychology degree- this blog had fits and starts. Then in 2020- when I became a part of the Amazon Associates Program- it actually started to make money! But then life happened- and then my blog lapsed. So here I am- back at it again!
As a mom to three kids- each at a different stage of life- I hope to make others like me feel seen, heard, and like you have found a friendly space.
Not only are my kid apart in age- my middle child has Autism. He is now in college- but the journey to get there has been one filled with twists, turns, and surprises. Our journey with Autism is one our family doesn’t shy away from sharing. It will be something I share here- hopefully to encourage others and help you not to feel alone -if you are also on a similar journey.
I will occasionally touch on ADHD as well. As a woman with ADHD and a mother to a daughter with ADHD- the under diagnosis of females with ADHD is something I am passionate about- so that will definitely be something that is touched on in this blog.
These journeys with my older two children are what inspired me to go back to college for a psychology degree with a focus on learning differences in children. Neurodivergence and the resilience of my kids inspires me everyday.
I’ll also be touching on career changes- this is something that has affected me and so many women I know. I’m in the mists of it now. I’ll share what I have found helpful and I hope you will chime in too. Woman helping woman to get ahead in life is such gift.
When I am not parenting or blogging- I’m like so many other women- I’m learning to take better care of myself. I love catching up with my best girls friends- when we aren’t busy shuttling our kids here and there. I love learning new things and exploring. Currently that exploration is- who am I now? Who am I now that my kids are needing me less?
What are the things that light your fire? What gets you up in the morning? Are you trying to figure that out- then welcome to the club! Let’s explore this messy journey of life together!
