I am a 37-year-old mom of three boys.
Married for the first time at 20 after becoming a teen mom at 19, I am divorced and remarried to my husband, who is 44 and an IT Technician.
My eldest son, born when I was 19, is Loghan (18); he was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 5 and with Autism at age 9. He is crazy and loud; he wears his heart on his sleeve and has come so far after facing so much adversity.
Gabriel, my middle monkey, born when I was 22 (to the same dad and my then husband) is 15, with allergies galore and extremely accident-prone. He is an avid gamer and is always lost in his world of rainbows and ponies.
Finally, my third monkey Jesse, born when I was 26, is now 12 years old and is my sunshine child, and an old soul at heart.
We all live in a comfortable home with our fur kids, Rosie (our rambunctious Jack Russell X), and Jager (our loppy Dalmador who has serious separation and FOMO issues).
I love reading and enjoy anything related to history and true crime. I also enjoy writing and most of all, spending time with my family.
We are unconventional and extremely loud, and crazy. Every day in our lives is a roller coaster adventure, a learning curve of note. Parenting two children with special needs has taught me so much, and I have become an advocate for the need for better understanding of special needs children as a whole and their needs and struggles in their daily lives.
The road of parenting has not been easy being OCD and with a history of depression, I have my dark days but they are way outnumbered by the amazing days, my children bring me so much joy and have taught me so much, this blog is a space for me to rant, rave, laugh, share memories and information along my journey of motherhood, thank you for stopping by and don't be shy to leave me a comment =)
I only just realised how similar our paths are, except that I am now 43 and my kids obviously much older than yours. :)
