Advice?

by The Momma

I rarely give out a lot of advice about how to be a step-parent mostly because I’m new to this whole gig. My main purpose with this blog is to share my experiences as a parent/stepmom with the hope that someone out there reading it will realize that they aren’t alone in this somewhat scary role of stepmonster :)

There are a lot of great and very informative websites that contain tons of information and tips on how to make your blended family work so today I took a little look around the internet to see what sort of information I could come up with. Trying to be a bit more helpful than I usually am.

I’m not usually one to read ultra-religious based self-help books but there is a couple in California that has a serious of just such books that are designed to get your blended family up and running. I read a bit of what they have to say and it sounded like fairly reasonable advice. Besides that they have a lot more years of this whole blended family thing under their belt than I do.

So here they are…
