About Us

First, a brief introduction to our family.

I am a thirty-something stay-at-home mom. My husband is on active duty in the Army, and we have five children.

"Princess" is fifteen years old and attends a public high school. She loves music and art, spending time with her friends, and she has a cat, Tigger. She, like a lot of teenage girls, struggles with depression and anxiety. She's incredibly intelligent and passionate about the things she loves, and she has a way with money, business, and finance that boggles me!

"Angel Boy" is eleven and recovering from back surgery. He has an ADHD diagnosis. As a child, his nickname was "Angel Baby". He's always been friendly and easy-going, but he sometimes lives in his own world. His doctors say he's "ADHD-Inattentive". He's not hyperactive, but he doesn't always pay attention to what his old teachers wanted him to pay attention to. He's homeschooled.

"Precious" is a nine-year-old boy who's ADHD-Hyperactive. He's energetic, persistent, and can be very emotional and emotionally impulsive. He's also homeschooled, and while he's a lot of fun, he's also quite an exhausting adventure to be with!

"Little Guy" is three years old. If Precious was hyperactive, Little Guy takes it to a whole new level. He's fun, energetic, impulsive, and an accident waiting to happen! He can be very domineering or very sweet, depending on his mood, and while some of that is expected at his developmental level, he most definitely shows all the signs of ADHD himself.

Then there's "Bitty Bug". He's nine months old now and as easygoing and gentle as Angel Boy was. He's more social and engaging than Angel Boy was at that age, always smiling and soliciting response and responding to others. Time will tell how he responds as he ages, but we'll see what happens!

So that's us! Considering the prevalence of ADHD in my family, it's likely that I have it myself. I definitely show some of the signs of it, although I've never bothered trying to be diagnosed.

My husband, on the other hand, is Mr. Stability! He keeps us all stable and tries to help encourage us all to behave like "civilized" human beings, whatever that's supposed to mean! ;)

We invite you to join us in our journey. We'll be homeschooling, struggling to keep the house clean, moving around with the Army, raising babies, and living life. But be forewarned: It's going to be a wild ride!
