Real-life parenting, ADHD, and the messy middle of family life

I’m a mom sharing real-life experiences with ADHD, adoption, school, midlife and the everyday moments in between.

I write about what I’m learning along the way, what’s helped our family, and the moments that make me stop and see things a little differently.

ADHD shows up in our family in ways I didn’t always understand—from difficult mornings and homework battles to school, medication, advocacy and the struggles other people don’t always see.

Adoption & Foster Care

Our path to becoming parents led us through foster care adoption. I share that journey from my perspective—from deciding whether adoption was right for us and navigating foster care training to the things I understand differently now that I’m parenting my daughter.

This is where I write about the rest of life—midlife, marriage, friendship, organization, nostalgia and the ordinary moments that somehow turn into stories.
