The Hoard Catalog
The Squird Hoard Closet
Do you have a single space in your life that can only be described as a "tomb of untapped potential"?
For years, writer Kayla VanNortwick bought into the lie that a perfect life required linear, neurotypical perfection. She tried the systems, she bought the bins, she felt the contained shame—and she failed. Because for the ADHD, Autistic brain, the problem isn't the mess; it's the guilt.
Then, she moved her entire family overseas and discovered the essential truth: She could be orderly in public, provided she maintained one designated private hole for her chaos: The Squird Hoard Closet.
This is not a decluttering book. This is a Manifesto for the rest of us. With bracing honesty and a sharp sense of humor, Kayla charts her journey navigating life as an expat family, held together by Orion, The Anchor (her hyper-competent husband), and lighted by Axton, The Ritualist (her son, a tiny god of non-negotiable order).
The Squird Hoard Closet is a necessary surrender to the beautiful chaos, a full-throated validation of your non-linear brain, and the realization that the mess is simply where the magic lives.
The Anchor's Logbook
Are you "The Anchor"? Do you love someone whose brain operates like a beautiful, chaotic "Squird"? Are you the one providing the "structural peace" amidst the "neurodivergent chaos"? Do you spend your days pre-solving panic, managing the "Kayla Variable", and carrying the weight of competence?
You are not alone. And you are not just a supporting character.
The Anchor's Logbook, the follow-up companion to Kayla VanNortwick's The Squird Hoard Closet, is your essential guide. Written for anchors everywhere, this logbook offers:
Validation: Acknowledging the profound "Anchor's Strain" and the reality of needing your own "Sanctuary".
Practical Tools: Concrete "Functional Frameworks" for communication, boundary-setting (like the "Safety Signal"), and protecting your own cognitive bandwidth.
Shared Language: Insights drawn directly from the "Squird's Dictionary" to help you navigate the "Warning Hum", understand "Hyperfocus", and support without enabling.
Hope: Strategies for shifting from constant "emotional triage" to a sustainable partnership built on mutual understanding and systemic independence.
This isn't about "fixing" your partner; it's about building a stronger, more resilient boat together. It's time to log your own journey and find your peace within the loving chaos.
The Ritualists Rituals for Survival
A suprisingly practical guide to logic, systems, and finding comfort in absolute, non-negotiable order, as told through the meticulous eyes of a tiny god. (Coming as soon as said tiny god approves the final chapters...)
