About me

I am a mom, wife and school administrator at a school for children with learning barriers. I love writing, symmetry, good design and sushi.

I have 2 boys, the eldest has level 1 Autism with SPD and a PDA profile, my youngest has ADHD (like his father), we live in a beautiful seaside town in South Africa and I love to share my life and lessons to help others and encourage other mom’s that life can have beautiful moments.

Join me on my blogging journey as I share my thoughts and lessons here.
