Bio
Hi. I’m Tania and this is my bio.

I created this blog to share with other single parents some sensible and natural ways to manage ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) with their kiddos. It is my mission to inspire and encourage everyone with resources and ideas to better their lives and their families. Life’s hard, but we’re all in this together. While my blog is written from my perspective as a single mom, it is my hope that all parents (single or married), grandparents, and caregivers can benefit from the content.
But I digress. So you landed on this page because you wanted to know who the heck I am. Having a page about me seems to be a requirement in the blog world, but I find that writing about myself is hella awkward. So, I’ve decided that I’ll interview myself from your perspective and I’ll pretend to be you. Yes, I understand that makes me sound like a crazy person, but it will totally break the ice. Trust me:

• Why are you a single mom? My son’s father died when he was 23 months old.
• What do you do for a living? I’ve been a print graphic designer for almost a quarter of a century.
• Can you annoy people? Why, yes! It’s embarrassing how excited I get about food. I can talk about it for hours, and hours, and hours without coming up for air. I’ve been told to shut up many times by friends and strangers alike.
• Why are you an expert in Lego fire walk? I like to walk barefoot. My kid likes to play with Legos. I know pain.
• What do you do all day? I work full-time, I have a small freelance business (Designarchy.com), now this blog, LIFE, and everything else in-between.
• How Trekkie? I’m an equal opportunity Star Trek fan but TNG is my favorite. Don’t boo me, let’s not forget that Captain Picard was assimilated by the Borg once in a two-part episode!
• What does it mean to be a crunchy mom? I dig local farmers. I make my own deodorant. I like my planet.
• Why are you a life warrior? Because when life gives you lemons, you learn to gently roll them with the palm of your hand, and squeeze them in a cup of warm water every morning to jumpstart your day. Here I go talking about food again…
• How do you feel about science? I’m a fan.
• How do you feel about nature? I’m a fan.
• What’s your superpower? I can smell or taste mold in minute amounts. It’s less of a superpower and more like a curse, really.
• What’s your favorite kind of music? I listen to everything but electronica is my favorite. Underworld has a strong philosophical backbone.
• How do you feel about baseball? I’m a Royals fan.
• Who do you enjoy reading/listening to? I totally geek out on Michael Pollan, and America’s Test Kitchen.
• Current favorite children’s book authors. Go! Mo Willems, Oliver Jeffers, Emily Gravett, David Shannon, Herve Tullet, Laurie Keller, to name a few.
• What’s your bestest friend? Coffee.
• What’s your nemesis? Cilantro (the scourge of the Earth) and Wordpress.
• How do you pronounce your name? Tania = Tanya (TAH-nee-uh) / Kac = Kats (KAts)
• Where do you find your photos? I take my photos with my fearless LG G2 smartphone. I don’t have a fancy camera no more.
• Who designed your blog? I did. Two years later the hosting company crashed and there was no backup. So I rebuilt it quickly in Weebly because, as you already know, I Wordpress is my nemesis.
