How Kids Can Be Our Best Therapy – What I’ve Learned Parenting With A Handicap

November 28, 2018November 27, 20181 Comment

Owning my weaknesses lets my girls know it's hard, that it's humbling, but that you never give up. And, more importantly, that I am not defined by my handicap.

About Me

Hi, I’m Ashley. I write about suffering, community, faith, and family. I am a Catholic convert, collegiate athlete, wife, and mom. While serving as a campus missionary shortly after getting engaged, I was T-boned by a Mack truck and nearly lost my life. I write to encourage those whose life isn’t going according to plan. And, since I’m not a robot, I also sometimes write about my kids, holidays, or life with a traveling spouse.

Four thousand people came to Jesus in the desert for three days with nothing to eat. He had compassion on them, multiplied loaves and fish, and they were fed in abundance. Jesus takes care of our every need. If we hunger for Him above all, we, too, shall eat and be satisfied.
I'm so incredibly thankful for the father that this man is to our girls. The dad that swoops in to buy eczema relief lotion to rub on Ella's dry knuckles and face every morning. That is the perfect antidote to the "it will take care of itself" kind of Philly that I am. That knows the right words to say to calm their tearful screaming down when I'm half past done. That cooks our favorites - baked beans, pumpkin pie, spaghetti, & White Russians 😂- for Valentine's Day dinner. That loves me in my mess. We're opposite in a lot of ways, but this man is exactly what I need. I'm so thankful to be his today.
Because some mornings it's OK to call a self day. The last time I got a pedicure was two years ago and, well, my feet looked it. I spent $20 this morning to pretty them up over Diet Coke and a massage chair and it was a. mazing. After, I got groceries, had another appointment, ran errands, did a return, and had some coffee shop time because if you're going to go then go. Don't feel guilty for taking a morning off to recharge. Whether it's asking the spouse to watch the kids, a friend swap, or the beloved @kidsparklnk 🙋🏼‍♀️, a recharged you is a good thing for the whole family. And before you get too jealous, Brad's out of town and I just spent the last hour shoveling...
