Let’s hear from you.

I would like my blog to be a forum for my readers to share their stories and experiences and express their views and opinions about being a part of a blended family. I am working on a book tentatively titled:Blended Family Stories. It will be an in depth look at the real life challenges and joys of successful blended families. If you would like to be part of my research I'd love to hear from you.Take my Blended Family survey

  • END OF SOCCER SEASON

    Yesterday was the last day for soccer. Yeah! What a relief. I am happy the girls play and support their decison to do so, but it is really hard on the dinner hour to get both girls, Cheryl and Eva, to their practices since they have to be at two different fields at the same time. In addition to that, Sophia had water polo until last week which meant I had three kids to juggle and make dinner. Now that it is getting darker earlier, I really like to be home. Early evening is a really a pleasant time in our house. Our kitchen is centrally located so when I am preparing dinner I get to watch or hear the kids in the study or their rooms. Last night when Cheryl and Eva got home after soccer practice they performed their usual ritual. Eva took a shower while Cheryl got out the IHome and they sang in the bathroom together. It was delightful. I don’t know if they knew I could hear them so I didn’t say anything. I told Paul when he got home and we both marveled at the fact that these two girls who once hated each other when they met three years ago are now the  best of friends and do everything together. We are so fortunate. I can’t believe we have come this far.
