Blending Kids, Rules & Laundry!

Starting over at age 38 was not easy. My 14 year marriage ended and I was moving into a new home in a new community. My life was unrecognizable. I spent 6 months getting to know myself, taking care of my girls, Hannah and Mariah and making sure they were ok. A joint custody arrangement was a big adjustment for all of us. Things were different but good.

I decided to get out on the dating scene in late October, 2008. yes, I used online dating, Plenty of Fish. I had a number of weird contacts and then just as I was planning to delete my profile, I got a polite note from kc422, asking "would u like to chat?" Well, what better question to ask me!! :) So we did, for 2 weeks. Then we had our first date. And we had an instant connection. He has two girls as well, that he sees every single weekend. I loved that he was a devoted Dad.

The fun began as we decided to get the kids together on a frequent basis. And that is where this blog comes in.

Stay tuned for tips, stories and venting!

Bringing two families into one big blender!

I never knew how hard it would be at first to blend four kids into one family. I figured it would be easy. HA! Was I mistaken. At first. I have two fantastic girls, age 10 and 14.  Kevin, my significant other, has two girls as well, age 7 and 14. Yes, we blend 4 girls under 1 roof.  Its exciting, fun, dramatic and chaotic at times.  But I have learned many lessons along the way.

This is my blog to share a few survival tips, tell a few funny stories, and share the fun, the tears, the fights!  I call our home, "Life in the Blender".  Throw everything in and press "MIX" or "Blend" or "Puree".  :)
