My journey as a stepmother, one grey hair at a time


I am 38 years old, been married about two years now, and am the proud stepmother of two children. I have a 15 year old stepson that is pretty sure he knows just about everything, and a 10 year old stepdaughter that can't decide if the truth is really worth telling.  For the most part, they are great kids that are full of well, let's say surprise.

Trust me, my family is anything but boring and there are times when I don’t even believe what just happened.  From the crazy tales of how things got broken, to why for the umpteenth time a curfew was missed, and my personal favorite, why their mom wasn't able to make visitation, I continue to press on, hoping one day that love, honesty and respect will prevail.

 I created this blog so I had somewhere to vent, tell my funny stories, and reach-out to other stepparents like me.  Oh I see another grey hair, wonder where that came from.
