I can get really frustrated with myself

I've got a jam packed week ahead of me and it's all pretty exciting stuff. I have a few interviews this week and will close them all off with Kate Swenson from Finding Cooper's Voice. She's going to be on the pod to talk about her new book Forever Boy. I'm looking forward to that. There's a lot of prep going into this upcoming trip and my brain has been working overtime. I was gently reminded today that I can sometimes overcomplicate things. I'm following some really good advice and making a list of everything that needs to get done before I go. I can finally get it out of my head and into paper. I made a list tonight and I'm going to refine it as I go but…

A brief review of Sago Mini: First Words

I love technology, especially when it can be used by everyday people to improve their everyday lives. A few years back I spent some time with an app called Otmiso, which is a game-based learning app for kiddos with special needs. You can see it reviewed here. I found it to be a really cool app for kids and I want to take a minute to point out a new app that I've been looking at recently. SAGO Mini has partnered with the above mentioned Otsimo, to create a new app called SAGO Mini First Words. First Words is designed with the help of speech therapists, child psychologists, and other early childhood development experts. I appreciate this as I'm a big fan of things backed in science and medicine. Real…

My #ADHD Brain

I was feeling a little scattered today and getting frustrated with my ADHD brain. I had some work that needed to get done today. There was some prep for my trip, as well as tend to some ad copies that needed written and recorded. I got some invoicing done, as well as bit of coding on the backend of the site. I was relatively productive today. The boys only had half a day at school today and I had to reschedule a meeting in order to retrieve them on time. That's kinda where things went downhill for me. 😂 When I got home, I decided to go through the boxes in my room and get rid of everything I don't need or want. This is something I need to do.…

Feeling Grateful

I'm physically and emotionally getting ready for my big trip and I realized a few things. I'm going to be gone for five days and I've never been away from my kids for that long. I've never gone on a solo trip before and I've never been alone for more than a day or two. I was talking through this the other night and I recieved some really good advice. I understand the advice in my head but I'm not sure I can explain it well. Basically, the advice had to do with me feeling lonely while I'm gone. Honestly, that's something I've been a bit worried about. Rather than running from that feeling or trying to push it away, instead, I should lean into it. The idea is to…

zPods is helping #autistic kids sleep better

One of the most common questions I get from the parents of autistic kids, has to do with sleep or lack there of it. Autistic kids can struggle with sleep for a million different reasons and it's very common. Parents often find themselves sleep deprived and struggling. I can speak from personal experience in regards to chronic sleep deprivation and it's awful. It just is. Having said that, I wanted to take a few minutes and briefly share a little bit about a project I'm working on or rather, with. It's called zPods and it's so cool. zPods is a new type of bed designed for our neurodivergent kiddos and helps them to feel safe and comfortable, which naturally promotes sleep. Check out the new video they just shared. https://youtu.be/YWTp6sjGRQs…

Making progress

It's been a long week, especially with the kids being sick on and off for the last two weeks. I didn't get a break last weekend because they were sick. I was feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and frustrated. I feel like that's pretty normal considering and also temporary because life gets better. I woke up this morning feeling really good. I slept so well last night and apparently checked all the boxes. My Samsung Health Sleep Report The boys were supposed to visit their mom today but because they still are a bit under the weather, it's been rescheduled for a later date. While I could use the break, I get it and it is what it is. No biggie. I've spent the morning responding to emails and working on…
