Too Many Glass Balls
To reuse Amelia’s metaphor, I’ve dropped the plastic balls, which includes this blog. My slow down in posting started by me living in the moment and enjoying life and my family. I wanted to soak the good in not try to process it in words. I had the energy to participate fully in life, which…

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…

Banana Pumpkin Bread Recipe
Banana Pumpkin Bread I just realized neither Amelia nor I have posted this week, and I haven’t had time to formulate a post, so I’m going to share a recipe I created all on my own, and that I’m quite proud of. It’s also a recipe that I have never tried because I made it…

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…

A Day in the Life of a Neurodivergent Family
I’m taking a brief interlude from explaining my migraine treatment to tell you about the day I had last week. It started like any normal day. I woke up around 7:15, but had a hard time getting out of bed until 8 or 8:30. I went upstairs to work on the large amount of dishes…

Story Time!
It’s story time! Before I start my story though, I must let everyone know that I can see God’s hand through this journey. There have been many tiny miracles along the way. He has sustained me through the hard times and led me to the information I needed when I needed it. The story starts…

Rabbit Hole
Today I was going to write about how I perceived the difference between perfectionism and being prepared as possible so you can do your best. Well guess what? NOT TODAY! Instead I went on Instagram and saw a reel about a family remodeling a school into a home. I thought that looks cool. I wonder…

Laundry
Laundry. I feel like it is a necessary evil. The easiest solution is for everyone to become a nudist and then there would be no more laundry. I don’t think that it is the most practical solution for a myriad of other reasons. Frostbite comes to mind. When my kids were younger I just did…

PMDD
I, Missy, was recently diagnosed with PMDD. I’m going to share a little of what I’ve learned, and my experience experiencing PMDD. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is the severe, more debilitating version of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Both are experienced in the 1-2 weeks leading up to the start of menstruation or in less medically formal…

Unschooling
Last week we went on a cruise. It was wonderful, relaxing, and warm. We got home late Saturday night. Sunday night Butterfly spiraled into school anxiety. Some comments included that I don’t like school. School is hard. I can’t learn. The kids are mean. The whole week we were on the cruise she did not…
