Ashley
Ashley is mom to a literal three ring circus.

Less urgent care visits than one would assume, Ashley is typically found around her and her partner’s farm where Ashley teaches horseback riding lessons. Their son T is a handful of all American boy who has had therapy since nearly day one for SPD and other spectrum issues. Ashley also blogs at http://trainahorsetrainahuman.com.
