What a journey this is.

My thirties have been a time of personal growth of course and just happen to be the best ten years of my life because I have spent them with my new family comprised of my husband and his two children, now our two children.

My hope with this blog is to inspire more women to become stepmothers or to embrace the role in as Thoreauean of a way as possible - live it deep and suck out all the marrow of it.  I have found more value than I ever expected in being a stepmother. Magical moments that I would have never discovered if I did not take a leap with my heart. 

 In ten years I have made an indelible and positive impact on two wonderful lives and that the impact was exponentially returned. The only way to get the most out of stepmothering, like any relationship, is to be all in.
