We had to do Christmas a little differently than normal after I got sick.

Lily was still very young, and so this is how we managed both a major holiday and chronic illness.

Coming very soon. The final proof is on its way.

It is Invisible Disabilities Week this week.

And I'll admit, no part of me 20 years ago would have accepted that the reason I struggled to keep up with all my classes my first year of university was because I had ADHD. I just thought, I needed to try harder.

And no part of me would have considered it a disability; today I think much differently about that.

I also never would have thought my psoriasis would turn into yet another invisible disability on my end. Yet, here we are.

Not everything is as it seems on the outside. I fight pain, exhaustion, and limited function on a regular basis.

It doesn't mean I'm not capable of doing things, just that I have to do them differently.

Don't judge a book by its cover can absolutely apply to people.

Ahhhhh the proof is officially on its way!!

Did you know that one of the most annoying traits of my ADHD is that once the initial excitement of something is over, or the goal has been accomplished my brain immediately acts like it wasn't a big deal.

I'm always chasing the next big thing because my dopamine receptors tell me if I don't, I'm not successful, I haven't accomplished anything, and I'm "behind" in life.

I'm PAINFULLY aware that's not true. But, my brain seems to like to do everything the hard way.

Regardless, here's what I'm excited about today!!

New book loading in t-minus 1 month!!

I'm not sure how other self-published children's authors go over their drafts, but this momma with ADHD requires it to be on paper.

If I can't hold it, it's not tangible, therefore I miss things because my focus drifts and then I miss necessary edits.

I've learned this about myself over the years and because of this, when we embarked on writing our first book I was self aware enough to recognize that we needed printed copies for me to edit properly.

When you know about a disability, you can advocate for proper accommodations, or you can create your own to help you achieve your goals.

Writing a children's book, navigating the illustrations ourselves, and planning for publication launches is not easy for anyone.

Now add 2 neurodivergent people into the mix. ADHD definitely makes this type of project.

Meltdowns happen, exhaustion plays a crucial role, having one chaos goblin who has time blindness and another one who absolutely needs to adhere to strict standards and schedules, and things can get messy.

Regardless, it's almost ready for publication and we couldn't be more proud of what we created.

Title reveal coming soon!!
This time you get to meet more of the Bunny Family.

I can't stress enough, having hyper mobile joints is not a fun party trick.

It comes with constant pain and the need to put my hips back into their socket on a daily basis.

It's exhausting, it's starting to wake me up at night, and is not fun putting it back in.

However, I persist. Because I'm just as stubborn as the pain is 🙃.
