Don’t Shut Dad Out

June 16, 2015 by Barbara Dittrich 1 Comment

We women are notorious for doing it...  We complain that we need help, but then we are critical of our husbands when they lend a hand.  Raise your hand if you've ever done it.  I'm raising mine too! Mentoring other parents like myself over the years, I see this as a repeated issue between husbands and wives.  Yet, I don't think mothers realize how much they shut their husbands out of the … [Read more...]

Pamper YOUR Marriage!

September 15, 2014 by Cindi Ferrini 2 Comments

We might want a week away but need to settle for three hours. We might need a week away, but have to settle for a cup of coffee at the corner cafe! We might want a trip to Europe but need to be content with an overnight stay in an adjacent city. We need to find ways that will work practically and financially. As caregivers we’re on call 24/7 – and getting away without interruption rarely … [Read more...]

April 28, 2014 by Kelli Ra Anderson 6 Comments

“It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones.” (Ps 127:2) I was stumped. I wondered if Solomon, for all his wisdom, might have benefited from my ADHD meds for better focus. The various ideas in Psalm 127 seemed too random and disjointed to be together. Finally, I cried uncle, and turned to … [Read more...]

Is Happy Marriage Possible For Parents of Special Needs?

November 13, 2013 by Laurie Wallin 8 Comments

I have this guy living in my house. This tall, witty, occasionally infuriating guy, whose across-the-room smile can still make me blush, 15 years after "I do." Only problem is it's way too easy as a parent of kids with special needs to simply not look across the room. Do I know my husband is my primary relationship? That he's the only one who's still going to be sitting across from me when the … [Read more...]

Cowbells and Barricades

June 24, 2013 by Kelli Ra Anderson 6 Comments

My first mistake? Driving my Honda Fit around the barricade that blocked the residential road in my neighborhood. My second mistake? Inadvertently driving into the middle of an international bicycle race that had apparently been scheduled that weekend. Of course, I didn’t realize what I’d done until a pace car for the race (followed by hundreds of speeding cyclists) rounded the empty street … [Read more...]
