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.

  • THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING SHOES

    I took all three girls shopping yesterday to Marshalls, a discount “labels for less” clothing store to spend their Christmas gift cards. We had gone to a Marshall’s in New Jersey when we went out to visit my sister Pam this past summer. We scored some great deals then and happened upon some awesome finds yesterday as well. Juicy Couture jackets for $30, marked down from $60. The girls went wild. And then they saw the most perfect pair of suede slouchy boots that all three of them wanted, but there was only one pair. First Cheryl, a size 6, tried them on and they fit. Then Sophia, a size 7, tried them on and they fit her too. And finally Eva, a size 8, tried them on and they fit her as well. They decided to split the cost of the shoes three ways and share them. Eva exclaimed, “It will be like the sisterhood of the traveling shoes!!” For those of you unfamiliar with the reference, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Sisterhood of Traveling Pants, Book 1) is a novel about four friends who alternate “owning” a pair of jeans that magically fits each of them perfectly. My girls have all read the book. I thought is was wonderful that they all came up with such a perfect solution. I can’t wait to see the schedule the come up with for taking turns for wearing the shoes.
