Car Rides Can Be Awful
It’s funny as life marches on you slowly forget things from the past, until something triggers the memory. This week I was reminded how hard car travel can be with littles, especially when everyone in the car is neurodivergent. The first trigger was when my mom called and said she was coming to my house…

Go To Bed, It’ll Feel Better in the Morning
As I was sleepily feeding my baby in the wee hours of the morning, I was trying to think of something to write for the blog. Reflecting on my last week, there have been huge changes and challenges all encompassing sleep. My baby was waking up early to eat, wide awake and ready to play…

Plastic or Glass?
You may or may not have noticed that I, Amelia, have been a little MIA lately. I have definitely dropped the ball here. As such, now seems to be a great time to discuss dropping the ball. In this juggling act that is life, there are lots of things we are trying to keep in…

You Are Beautiful Because You Are You
I have an uncle whose standard greeting is “Hello Beautiful!”. I love it. He genuinely means it because he understands thr idea that you are beautiful because you are you and it comes across whenever he greets me. With that I have had a lot of thoughts about beauty, body image, and self worth lately…

Small Things from Therapy
I have come across a story on the internet several times. My quick Google search says it was posted on tumblr by “andhumanslovedstories”. I recall a similar type of experience where a therapist told me something really simple and not all that profound, but it made a profound impact. Here we go, the life-changing piece…

When crap hits the fan
I’ll be honest that I have been procrastinating writing a post for today. I’ve not felt well for the last 2 weeks. And then the last 30 hours happened. I was just about to write my post when my daughter yelled “mom the sink is leaking!” So instead you get pictures of minor catastrophies that…

When It’s Good
*As a note: I wrote this last year (I wrote a whole bunch of posts within the first several months of the blog and have been posting them interspersed with stuff I write for the current moment). I am really glad that I did. If I hadn’t, I probably wouldn’t believe that such a state…
