Best Gift Ever | Daily writing prompt
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. Actually, I got one of the best gifts I’ve ever received this last Christmas! I’ve received so many beautiful presents over the years — big and small. Warm and thoughtful. Meaningful and close to my heart. Gifts filled with love and intention. Lovely crafted gifts from my children. And the best gifts are the ones where the person feeeels that I will like it. Not that they know that I have been wanting it, but when someone is like ”hey I saw this and thought of you”. I love those presents…

Sick Days & Side Projects
Well… looks like the viruses have officially moved in. First big brother went down, and now the rest of us followed right behind. Today I’m home with little sister while my husband is at work. He’s not exactly feeling great either, but since he works outdoors this week, at least he’s not spreading germs to anyone else. Small wins. Coughing, runny noses, and yes—fever too. So we’re filling the day with all the cozy things: blankets, the fireplace, and crafts. My little one has warmed up in a bath, made approximately 20 beaded bracelets, and completed every puzzle she owns.…

To-Do List | Daily writing prompt
Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done. Well hello.. At the very top of my to-do list is usually this: Read my to-do list. Or… find it, if I wrote it on paper instead of in my phone. It’s a never-ending story — tasks that never get started or finished. Some things take days. Some take weeks. And the real nasty ones… sometimes take years. Things on my to-do list that never get done: – Clean the junk drawer — the place where everything that doesn’t have a home somehow has a home Clean the car — I…

Be Kind To Yourself – Daily Hug Quote | D23
I know — it sounds simple. Almost too simple. Like something written on a mug you once lost… twice. But if you’re an ADHD mom, you know how hard this actually is. Because your days are loud. Your thoughts are fast. Your to-do list multiplies while you’re trying to remember why you walked into the kitchen. You try so hard. Every single day. To show up. To remember appointments. To answer messages. To be patient. To keep everyone alive and somewhat fed. And still, you might end the day feeling like you failed somehow. Here’s the gentle truth: You didn’t…

January recap
Goodbye January, hello February January has officially packed its bags, and honestly… thank yooou – byeee!From Christmas break straight back into work and school. From slow mornings to alarm clocks, packed lunches, laundry piles, grocery lists, and the constant mental load that never really clocks out. On top of that, my job includes evenings and weekends, which means less time with family and friends. Less time for… well, everything else. Home, errands, rest. You know the drill. It’s a lot. Always. Even in January. We’ve celebrated birthdays every single weekend, and that marathon continues into February.Little sister turned 3 years…

It’s Okay to Start Again – Daily Hug | D22
You took a break. Not because you’re bad at this. Not because you’re the worst at staying consistent. But because sometimes, the only way forward is to stop for a moment. So many people carry the quiet belief that needing a pause means they’ve failed. That stepping back means they weren’t strong enough. That starting over proves they didn’t “have it together” in the first place. But pauses aren’t proof of weakness. They’re often proof of self-awareness. Sometimes you don’t quit — you rest. Sometimes you don’t give up — you gather yourself. And sometimes, you need space to breathe…

You’re Making Progress – Daily Hug Quote | D21
Success is often described as one thing. One result. One destination. One version of “making it”. But real success rarely lives on just one level. It unfolds across your work, your dreams, your home, and who you’re becoming along the way. Sometimes quietly. Sometimes unevenly. Sometimes in ways only you can feel. You’re making progress when success shows up as: – Building a business or career that aligns with your values – Taking small steps toward a dream you haven’t fully named yet – Learning how to manage your energy, not just your time – Growing professionally while also growing…

You Are Not Alone, Mama – Daily Hug Quote | D20
There’s a special kind of loneliness that can come with ADHD motherhood, and probably motherhood in general too. The kind that shows up when you’ve tried every system, every tip, every “simple routine” — and it still feels hard. When the world keeps telling you to organize better, try harder, be calmer… and you’re already doing your absolute best. Being an mom often means carrying more than what’s visible. Sometimes extra when you have ADHD. Your mind rarely rests. It jumps, loops, forgets, overthinks — all while trying to hold space for everyone else. You’re managing schedules, emotions, sensory overload,…

In What Way Can You Make Your Life Less Messy? | Daily Writing Prompt
In what way can you make your life less messy? Honestly? I can’t — at least not in the way people usually mean. I’ve tried. Systems, routines, planners, minimalism, color-coding, starting over on Mondays. I adapt where I can, over and over again. And some things help, for a while. But life with an ADHD brain — especially as a mom — is not something I can fully organize into neat boxes. The mess isn’t a personal failure or a lack of effort. It’s part of how my brain works, part of the season I’m in, part of the care…

You Don’t Have to Bloom All at Once – Daily Hug Quote | D19
Growth is often invisible. It rarely looks like big breakthroughs or perfectly finished projects. It happens underground, in the dark, in moments that don’t look impressive from the outside. It’s the showing up when you’re tired. The trying again after a pause. The choosing softness instead of self-criticism. It’s happening when you’re exhausted but still show up. Not fully charged. Not confident. Just… present. With a brain that’s already run a marathon before lunch. We’re so used to measuring ourselves by what we didn’t do, instead of noticing what we carried. The mental load. The noise. The effort it takes…
