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.

Tonight is the long awaited night to see the one and only Miley Cyrus in concert at the HP Pavilion in San Jose. Awesome. We can’t wait. I took the girls shopping downtown at Urban Outfitters to find new outfits for the big event. Nothing in their wardrobe would have worked. They each bought a pretty skirt or dress. I, on the other hand, plan to wear a pair of tan chinos and a white T-shirt because no one cares if I look like a dork. The only thing missing from my outfit is a pair of ear plugs to muffle the sounds coming from the throngs of tweener girls and their shrieking squeals.Published on September 20, 2009 · Filed under: BLENDED FAMILIES, LIFE WITH TEENAGERS, PARENTING, STEPPARENTING; Tagged as: BLENDED FAMILIES, PARENTING, STEP CHILDREN, STEPPARENTING
