Blenders

Blenders... the point of a blender is to put a bunch of random things in there, turn it on and suddenly its this amazing smoothy, right?! Why, oh why, can't it be like that when we throw a bunch of kids in your home (the "blender") and we all turn into this amazing smoothy - or something like that??

I am new here. I am new to blogging. I have been a "step mom" for 2 years now (although we are not married yet, we have been living together for 2 years). Overall, I would say we have been very blessed in our blending. Our kids all get a long for the most part and the older kids help out with the little kids. Our ex's aren't horrific and we can all be in the same room without any drama. We have been lucky.

My story is an interesting and long one. Something you would find on TLC.  Do I spill the beans and tell this long story? Do I start way back when? Do I shorten it up? Do i just start at the beginning and build up to where we are now? How do you know people are even interested in your story? 

Decisions, decisions.......

You can give us a short but to the point story, with all the important details of course Biggrin

^^^^^^^I'm happy that so far this has been a good experience for you and hope that it continues. Step life is not easy but if all parents are on the same page and have the best interest of the child/children in mind I can see things working out for the most part.

Mmmm... not all things you throw into a blender turn out well. A good blend can also depend on the order in which things are added.

At the very least, start with the most problematic issue.
