Hello there everyone. I used to post on this site about a year ago, and now I'm back. I hope that I can listen to people and offer some advice based on my own experiences. My circumstances have changed drastically in the past year. The Dad and I moved to a new city, I became a full time homemaker / stepmom and I successfully got two kids through the third grade and kindergarten! The skids are back living with their mother in Virgina. They will be visiting us over Christmas break and it will be the first time in six months that we've seen them. It's sure to be an exciting time for all of us.

I genuinely hope that I can help some people out and also get some insight into my own troubles and triumphs as a stepmom.
