05/18/12Building a Stronger Blended FamilyI would love to tell you that when my new husband and I moved in together with my oldest daughter that everything was from a storybook, and everyone lived together happily ever after.

09/17/11Little Miss StubbornI recently read an article about dealing with stubborn children that hit close to home for me. My four-year-old is definitely a stubborn child. Some say she is just like her mother, but I think the jury is still out on that one! |
