ADHD Home Management
Several years ago when I was writing more posts about homemaking someone suggested I produce an ADHD Home Management binder. I laughed. A lot. Because I am absolutely not an expert on managing a home with or without ADHD. But I will say I’ve come to terms with how ADHD affects my ability to […]

Mindfulness for ADHD Women
I admit it, I was a skeptic about mindfulness for ADHD women. Well I was a skeptic about mindfulness in general. So like any good research nerd I set out to learn more.
