Listen, I need you to know something about me. About us. About every ADHD mom who’s ever walked into a Michael’s at 3pm on a Tuesday with “just one quick idea.” We are visionaries.

Look, I’m just going to say it: sleep deprivation and ADHD is like mixing gasoline and a lit match.

Picking a car seat is a big decision and you can’t take baby home from the hospital without one (car seats checks are the last step in your hospital discharge). This is also one of, if not the most expensive item on your must-have list. Needless to say, it’s a choice that comes with some…

But you already knew that. As I mentioned in my first Instagram post, The ADHD Mommy isn’t about me. That said, let me give a little context to the experience that’s led me here: I’m a new mom. I have a one year old daughter who is teaching me how to be a better person…
