Drop Anchors, Not BombsFind This Image and T Shirt on The Beat Box sitehttp://www.thebeat-box.com/2012/05/ahoy-obey-clothing-drops-anchors.html When you live in a remarried home, there are tons of moving parts. Kids are going back and forth. We are working. Relationships go up and down. Emotions swirl around our heads 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Much like the waves of the ocean can
Stepmothers and Mothers Are Human Beings with Basic Human Needs I always wanted to tape a frank conversation between a stepmother and a Mother. I always had this theory that if we could hear each other, we may think differently about the way we think, act and speak. I am anxious to hear your feedback on the conversation. This is a personal conversation between me and a friend of
Are Stepmothers and Mothers Sharing Their Stepchildren? Ever since the last economic downturn, people have become entrepreneurial about how they live and work. The biggest change has been the new Sharing Economy. The sharing economy is one where we share each other's resources with each other either freely or cheaply. As a matter of fact, I am a member of a barter group. This group
Stepmothers May Fear Abandonment A common lament among all of us stepmothers is "When will this all end?" or "When will this get better?" I ask myself that same question and I have reached a new conclusion. I think it is us. Stepmothers are a fragile tribe. We are hard working and focused, but our hearts are easily broken. Even as I write this line, I can feel the pain of my broken
Every Stepmom Wants A Knight In Shining Armor Okay, I’ll admit it. I want a Knight in Shining Armor. I want my Knight to follow me around and defend me at all costs. I do not need him to be my bodyguard, like the bodyguard of a celebrity or politician. I need him to defend my thoughts, wants and desires. I need him to pay attention to me and listen to me. My Knight would always

Nominees for best picture are: Lincoln Silver Linings Playbook Life of Pi Beasts of the Southern Wild Amour Lincoln should be an old-fashioned favorite for any stepmother worth their salt. Mr.
Stepmothers Stitch a Web of Compassion When I think of Valentine's Day, I think of all the stepmothers who spend their days and nights stitching hearts together. We are the silent seamstresses who watch the family patterns. When we see a piece of heart tear, we are quick to try to mend it. We grab our sewing kits. We find the thread and, with precision, we push it through eye of the
The Ex-Wife and The Stepmother Can Look the Same! Do you have those girlfriends who just know everyone? I have a few of them. Last week, I attended a charity event and my well-informed girlfriends started talking about the other people. I must admit that it is fun listening to them, but I never know the people they are talking about. Here is the conversation that they had last week:
Is it time for the Stepmom Queen for a Day Pageant? As I was watching the #SAG Awards last night, I realized that I am now on my second awards show for actors. (The Golden Globes were two weeks ago.) And, I still have the main, big daddy of them all coming up, The Academy Awards. In addition, there was the Miss America Pageant a few weeks ago and Honey Boo Boo has her own show. She's a
Years ago, I stumbled upon a website called Heartless Bitches. It's an irreverent, wild site where women just speak their minds. I love it. I must have been having a "moment" and was googling for stepmother solutions when I found this blog or rant on the site. It has always stuck with me. Tell me if I'm wrong, but can't we all relate to all or part of this one! By the way, it applies
