The Evil Stepmother Speaks
Children Always Know When They Are Home Even If The Stepmother Is There! A wise advisor told me to always be 'home base' to my children. She said that physical custody had nothing to do with being home base. For some reason, this advice resonated with me. I knew exactly what she meant.

Some Stepmothers Are Bio Moms, Too As parents and step parents we all worry about our families and the decisions that we have made. Remarriage? Divorce? New Siblings? What damage have I done? Or, have a done an awesome job? I'm going to ask my son, Ean, how his life is going and how my decisions affected him. I don't know his answers and I'm curious to see if my thoughts and his

I am posing with my cousin Ellen and Nancy. I'm the one that forgot to wear a shirt. The bow in the hair is cool!
Whew! I thought I was crazy! My life as a stepmom has been pretty insane. Shockingly, at times, I thought I was dysfunctional. Today, my life has changed. As always, I have found that nature held the answer for me all along. I learned two important facts: 1. Turtles breathe out of their butts 2. Sea squirts eat their brains *I love them!
