2025 was a busy

My daughter officially got diagnosed with ADHD and Autism level 2. It was such a relief to know, but at the same time very difficult because I know that life can be a bit harder for neurodivergent people. I had suspected since she was 3 years old that she might have ADHD, but it wasn’t until she was getting ready to start kindergarten, that I suspected she might also have autism. A few months after her diagnosis, she started ABA therapy.

Last year, my daughter and I got to travel down to San Diego for a few days. It was the first time we traveled anywhere just the two of us.

Here are my goals and bucket list items for 2026. I want this year to be about spending more time with my family, being outdoors more, learning, and getting closer to being debt free. I have both small and big goals here just to mix things up.
