A mom’s view of parenting a child with ADHD. She does live trainings, has published a few great books, and has a TON of resources.

Her Bio-

Welcome to my little corner of the www. I’m Kelly Schmidt, a Ph.D. developmental psychologist with experience in early childhood special education and “on-the-job” experience as a mom to a son – Ninja Boy – who has ADHD and other neurodevelopmental disorders. I have a younger son – Agent J – and an amazing husband and an adorable, anxiously attached rescue cocker spaniel.

(a mom’s view of ADHD) is a place where I share stories, information, and resources about parenting a child with ADHD. I have some wonderful friends and colleagues who share as well! There is also great content from previous website owners Penny Williams (the original ADHD Momma) and Adrienne Ehlert Bashista.

Pour yourself your favorite beverage (hot Irish breakfast tea for me please!) and take some time to look around. You are not alone, Mama. You’ve got a village around you, Dad. Whether you have a newly diagnosed child or are further down the parenting road with your kiddo – this is our place to learn and laugh and cry and say, “You too? I thought I was the only one who felt that way!”.

A mom blogger that bring honestly and humor! IN addition, once a week she throws a dance party “live stream” because she believes that dancing is therapeutic.

Hi! My name is Meredith Masony and I blog at That’s Inappropriate. I love to share my stories about, life, marriage, motherhood, and my quest to be the best me I can be. I have three kids ages 10, 7, 5. My motto is “I’ll say it, so you don’t have to.” Life is messy, and it’s OK to talk about it. Join me on my search for sanity and hopefully you can have a few laughs along the way.
