6 weeks is a long time for a child with ADHD to fall out of routine. As much as they need the break from school, losing the structure they have whilst there can be so detrimental for them and their families. For many ADHDers the break in routine changes their ability to regulate their emotions…

Time alone as an ADHD parent is as rare as a blood moon. It’s amazing when it happens but it takes a few years around the sun to manifest. In 2022 we had our first weekend away without the boys in about 2 years which was amazing. I find that hubby and I need that…

Hands up if you feel like you have been hit by a bus and floating in the Bermuda Triangle for the past few days? Me, me, me. Christmas was great. We got to catch up with the people we love and for the most part had a great time away but I won’t be travelling…

With only one sleep to go until Santa arrives I wanted to wish all of my loyal followers a very Merry Christmas. Thank you for embracing our journey. There is still plenty to share and I look forward to opening up more about our life with ADHD in 2023. Enjoy the holidays with your loved…
