I have a new blog post up on Chill Out Kiddo (link is in my profile). I hope you’ll check it out. It’s all about meltdowns. If you know January, then you know about meltdowns. If you don’t know about them then it would be mean so much if you checked out this post. I’m still really new at blogging and I don’t entertain thoughts of being a great writer but it feels good to be open about what our life is like ❤️ I am so thankful to you for reading! . . . . . . . #chilloutkiddo #adhd #anxiety #meltdowns #adhdmeltdowns #anxiouskids #homeschool #adhdparenting #adhdawareness #adhdkids https://www.instagram.com/p/B1t6mtbBOnH/?igshid=1d3sagt33muhr

Did cute baby J get your attention? Good! I decided to start a blog. As you may or may not know January struggles with ADHD and severe anxiety. Our every day looks probably a lot different than you would expect. And I know we aren’t alone. And I want to talk about it more. I want to normalize it so more kids know it’s ok to admit that they aren’t ok. And so more parents know that they aren’t alone. So every week either myself or January will post a new blog. At least once a week. But who knows what might happen. I’m not ruling anything out. I’m just excited. I have linked to the blog in my profile. It’s called Chill Out Kiddo. I decided on that name because it’s something people say to anxious kids. And it’s so ridiculous because they would totally chill out if they could. ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B1exxCehS8W/?igshid=1228gaqp1o6fo

Healing is becoming the best version of yourself, not whoever you think you were before things got bad.

I actually made this monstrous Neapolitan sundae cake. It’s what the birthday girl wanted and she gets what she wants 🤷🏻‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B0JlgqhheHJ/?igshid=vkulhroj7q8h

here is your gentle reminder that there are dandelions growing through cracks in the sidewalk. there is a fence lizard on the porch who is growing a new tail. there are trees growing through an abandoned house, branches tearing through the ceiling, ferns carpeting the floor. there is life pushing forward, pushing through.

So super successful!!! We FINALLY got the doctor to prescribe an actual anxiety medication. I’m so hopeful.

Bedtime tonight was so awful. She was so angry with bedtime anxiety tonight. Screaming and punching like a toddler tantrum and she’ll be ten this week.Have I mentioned the bedtime anxiety? Every single night. It’s so sad.

So hopeful for this medicine.

J has a pretty big psych appt today so if you could send peace vibes to her and strong vibes to me.

Advocating for a child who just wants to be happy shouldn’t be this hard. At the same time I wouldn’t trade life with this magical child for absolute anything.
