    My experiences as a Step Mother

    The team Dinner

    By admin | Published: December 9, 2012

    One day I was approached by my husband and he said innocently enough  “I volunteered us for hosting a team dinner”. I just looked at him and said, oh ok, what does that mean for us?  I had provided dishes for team dinners in the past but had never hosted one.  He said that hardly […]

    Boyfriends and the six inch rule

    By admin | Published: December 9, 2012

    Once our girls hit I’d say 14, they became interested in boys in a different way than they had been before.  Understandable, it was time.  Though ever since I’d known them, their Dad had told them they would not do anything with boys till they turned 25, we all knew the time was coming a […]

    What happened to propriety?

    By admin | Published: December 6, 2012

    I have mentioned in a couple of posts that my husband has rules when it comes to the children, and THAT he does.  They aren’t always taken seriously by them or followed and I think he gives a lot of latitude to them before he cracks his whip.  When he cracks it, he cracks it […]

    The Birthday gift…a family photo

    By admin | Published: November 20, 2012

    We’ve used the same professional photographer since she took our older son’s high school graduation pictures years ago.   She does very good work, she charges the moon.  Taking my husband’s complaints to heart plus my own sticker shock…once, just once I decided to try to save some money and we took our little one […]

    Dresses and Drama

    By admin | Published: November 15, 2012

      I’m sitting here trying to think back to the first time I was involved in getting our girls ready for a social function.  There have been several dances as you can imagine with two girls.  I started from the basic premise that my role was not to step on their Mother’s toes, but to […]

    She’s such a pill!

      One of our girls has suffered headaches as long as I’ve known her, and since she started her period, has complained monthly about difficulties and yet she will play through danged near any sports related injury.  Her sister has never had the headaches or the menstrual issues yet is constantly hurt, real or imagined, […]

    Snog and Goblins

    By admin | Published: November 12, 2012

    Becoming a Step Mom has allowed me to do things I thought I was never going to be able to do.  Although my parents were divorced, my Mom and Dad were pretty good at making sure we got as much of the normal kid experiences as we could.  Things like coloring Easter Eggs, making Halloween […]

    Sweet and Sour 16

    By admin | Published: November 12, 2012

        If you’ve ever been around a teen aged girl who is about to turn 16, you know that it is a time full of excitement, anxiety, anticipation, trepidation, all that.  Then if you take that and double it, this is just where things started in our house at this memorable time. Complicate this […]

    Friends

    By admin | Published: November 12, 2012

    I fully credit that I did as well as I did after the death of my first husband to the fact that I had a wonderful support system. I had my family of course and that can’t be understated. They helped me in more ways than I can even say. I also had several good […]

    First lemon…I mean….car…

    By admin | Published: September 1, 2011

    This is one of my favorite stories about our Oldest son.  So he starts to learn to drive (he was so bad at it!!!) and his Grandfather gives him a car that dies just a few months after he had it.  Mechanical, wasn’t his fault.  Of course our son had torn the bumpers off by […]
