It feels like I’m playing catch up since I’ve been back from vacation. Luckily I was able to make this piece in the last 2 nights. 😅
Happy Halloween and I hope everyone have fun but also stay safe. Have some compassion for children who can’t say “trick or treat”, or children who can’t dress up because of sensory needs. Children who are mobile to go up your door steps. Teenagers who would rather trick or treat than go out to parties. May this Halloween be inclusive to all. 🎃🎃🎃👻👻👻

My whole body 𝐈𝐒 listening!
How often do you hear teachers telling kids to do whole body listening? I’ll have to admit, I’ve said it before. What do you expect to see when you think of whole body listening?
Sitting up straight “criss-cross applesauce”?
Calm hands on the lap not moving?
Eyes forward staring at your eyeballs?
Turn on your “listening ears”?
Mouth closed no sounds?
The thing is, most neurodivergent kids especially ADHD kids, 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐒 to be moving in order to focus. My son tells me he needs to be doing 2 things at once so that he can pay attention. You ever need to listen to a podcast or music in order to fall asleep otherwise your brain is running 100km/h? Same thing, doing 2 things at once to sleep.
They might be struggling with eye contact and feel extremely uncomfortable to stare at other people’s eyeballs. 👀
They might be vocally stimming (clearing throat/coughing). They might need to be moving, spinning, rocking, bouncing to keep themselves regulated. Stimming is essential to keep neurodivergent kids regulated. 🏃‍♂️
They might need headphones or ear plugs to block off extra background noises. 🎧
As my son likes to say, “I only need my ears to listen. I can still hear you when I’m moving.” That’s what he reminds me when I’m needing his attention, once I got his attention he can be moving around and still hear what I’m telling him.
Ever do the dishes and talking to your partner at the same time? Yeah. Whole body listening can look different for everybody.
Now I’m curious, what do 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 “whole body listening” look like? Let me know in the comments!

There are so many people in my life that is currently hurting right now.
Whether it’s about mental health, their homes, the wildfire, death. I’ve struggled hard, and I understand the feeling.
So I just wanted to say this out loud for everyone, “It’s okay, to be not okay.” It’s ok, to be sad and taking all the time you need, it’s ok to go to therapy and heal past traumas. It’s ok to have anxiety. We don’t always have to give in the society standards of toxic positivity.
“Everything will be fine.”
“You just have to think positive.”
“Thinking negatively doesn’t help the situation.”
“Just look on the bright side.”
“Find the silver lining.”
“At least you didn’t _____ (fill in the blank)”
To all that, I say f**k it.
How often do you actually get to sit, and cry, and process. Instead, I say “It’s ok, this is really hard. I hear you, and I’m here for you.”
Sure, mindset is everything. So I’m not saying don’t be positive, but we also need to validate our feelings, and take the time to process the situation first instead of putting it in the back corner and cover it up with “just think positively”. Have a safe person or a safe space you can talk to, take the time you need. Then move on when you feel you’re safe to move on.
In this space, you are safe. No matter where in the world you are. ❤️❤️❤️

Summer is more than half way done. I know as soon as we hit September all the Halloween stuff would come out.
This Halloween version of the masking shirt will be absolutely perfect for the occasion!

08/09/2023

What is masking?
Masking is a coping mechanism where the person tries to suppress/hide their behaviours or challenges to appear “normal” or “socially acceptable”.
Neurotypicals will do it too but not as much as a neurodivergent will ever have to. It’s basically a survival strategy for us.
If everyone has a bucket of woe and it fills up as they mask and tips over when they have a meltdown, neurodivergents would have a smaller bucket and fills up much faster.
My son’s example would be, he would be filling up his bucket of woe at dinner with family. He said his bucket can only hold 20 (symbolic) coins before it tips over. Noises might be putting 5 coins in, wearing clothes is putting another 5 coins in, having to keep his shoes on is another 5 coins, having his food touching would be already putting his bucket to 20 in total. Therefore, when something unexpected happens, even if it’s just dropping a fork on the ground and costs 1 coin. His bucket now has 21 coins and it’s tipped over. Now the meltdown would commence and people have no idea why he had flipped out over a fork. It’s because he masked during the filling of his 20 coins already. You can’t see it because he’s masking. It’s exhausting and depletes his mental capacity. Yet most of these things, won’t even bother neurotypicals at all.
We’re working towards society being ok with people unmasking. Such as wearing his headphones and normalizes it’s ok to wear headphones when it’s loud.
Have you masked before? This shirt is available in my Etsy shop as well as !

I can’t remember how many times I’ve heard “boys will be boys” when my son is being loud, running around, playing with traditional and unconventional “boy toys”, or being rough.
My son also happens to love pink, had long hair until he donated it, plays with dolls and dollhouses.
“Boys will be boys” is NOT an excuse to not be kind to others. At the same time we need to teach our girls that when someone is mean to her it means that they have a crush on her. Abuse is NOT a sign of love, that is not how you love someone.
I made this shirt for my son, to remind him of anyone who looks at him that “boys will be boys” is not an acceptable statement. Girls and especially boys, can be raised as kind humans. Nothing is an excuse not to be kind to others.
This design is available in kids sizes as well, DM me if you want to order a kid size!

All emotions are OKAY, we’re allowed to have our emotions. You have a right to all of your emotions.
I don’t know how it became not ok for people to cry, or be angry, or have any negative feelings. Especially children, how are they supposed to be learning about feelings when they’re not allowed to have them? It just doesn’t make sense.
It is ok to cry, it is ok to be frustrated, and angry. It’s how we cope with it that’s the important part.
How can you have those emotions, but also be safe at the same time? It’s ok to be angry, but it isn’t safe to hit someone when you’re angry. But children need the space to be able to experience those feelings safely. If you do feel like hitting something when you’re angry, what can you hit that is safe? A pillow, a boxing pad, a stuffy etc. How do we let these feelings come and release, but safely. That’s the important part.
So it is ok to have all those feelings, and all your feelings are validated. You are not weaker when you cry, you are strong because you show vulnerability.

You can’t have “Mommy, Mama, Mom, Bruh.” Without “Daddy, Dada, Dad, Bruh.”, unfortunately my husband has been upgraded to Bruh too. 😂
If you have also been upgraded then this is definitely for you. 🤣

07/22/2023

Have you been upgraded from Mommy to “Bruh” yet? I know I have. 🤦🏻‍♀️
If you do this shirt is PERFECT for you!!! We make Neuroinclusive designs but also parenthood with a touch of humour!!! 😂

I’m not a HUGE coffee drinker but after being a mom I definitely do need caffeine to get on with my day. I find coffee too bitter for me, so I go with my classic milk and tea. ❤️
I made this design for a sloth loving neurodivergent colleague and friend of mine. She happens to drink coffee because caffeine is typically a stimulant for neurodivergent folks. It actually calms down the ADHD brain as well. Cool fact hey?
Almost any of our designs can be made on the 16oz frosted libbey glass! It also comes with a bamboo lid and a glass straw with a straw cleaner! Go to my Etsy shop to order! 😊😊😊
