Family
Join us as we celebrate the beautifully messy reality of family life. Here, we share honest stories about parenting mishaps, daily chaos, unexpected lessons, and the love that holds it all together. Perfection is overrated — real life is about embracing flaws, finding humor in the struggles, and growing through challenges. From balancing work and family to cherishing unplanned moments, our experiences remind us that imperfection is what makes a family truly special. Join us in embracing the chaos, finding connection, and celebrating the beauty of being perfectly imperfect.

Should You Medicate Your Child for ADHD?
Deciding whether to medicate your child for ADHD is a personal choice. After consulting with a specialist, we chose to medicate our son. The medication improved his focus, but we closely monitor for side effects, like reduced appetite and sleep issues. Communication with him and his doctor has been key in finding the right approach.
Our Experience With an ADHD Diagnosis
Our son was diagnosed with ADHD, inattentive type, in second grade, thanks to his teacher's recommendation. Before that, we hadn't noticed the signs, and it took some time to get a formal diagnosis after filling out extensive paperwork and testing. Even now, we continue to learn about ADHD as we navigate his journey.
A Mother’s Experience With Tactile Defensiveness
Tactile defensiveness is when someone is highly sensitive to touch, and our son was diagnosed with it at 18 months. From avoiding physical contact to struggling with eating and hygiene, it's been a challenge, but he's learned to manage it. I'm curious to hear from others dealing with tactile defensiveness — let's connect and share experiences.
