  • Hey there,

  • I'm Summer, just a regular mom trying to navigate a house full of ADHD, Autism, and Type 1 Diabetes. Welcome to my blog where I love to share things I've found that make my life as a mom of four a little easier. Mostly its easy recipes, fun fashion, lots of self care, murder podcasts and keeping a sense of humor…..oh, and trying to keep things simple.
