I am a stay-at-home wife and mother to three amazing kids, including one who is in constant battles with ADHD and tactile defensiveness. I think we're the perfectly imperfect family! I am an introvert, and I recently discovered that I am a highly sensitive person. I love to be at home, and my favorite hobbies are reading, cooking, watching movies, puzzles, and playing games with my family. You can also find me online: Facebook - Pinterest

    Teaching Your Child to Keep Their Room Clean

    My 12-year-old daughter has been working hard to keep her room clean, and we’ve discussed strategies to help her maintain it.

    Why Do We Focus On Perfection?

    I’m tired of seeing perfection everywhere online — especially on Pinterest. I recently looked up pantry organization ideas, and everything seemed so perfect, yet impractical. The focus on perfection feels unrealistic. Instead of chasing an ideal, we should embrace authenticity and share how messy life can be. Practical solutions, not perfection, are what truly work for me.

    Can a Teenager With ADHD Drive?

    When my son, diagnosed with ADHD-Inattentive type, turned sixteen, I wondered if he could learn to drive. After a year of driving lessons, learner's permits, and overcoming his anxiety, he got his license. Though challenging, with patience and encouragement, I learned that teens with ADHD can indeed drive — it may take time, but it's possible.
