What if you could time travel to when your stepkid is a young adult, ask them a few questions on what they were thinking back then, and then go back to the present time?

2023/01/16

We hear all the time “my stepkid hates me” or “my husband doesn’t know how to connect with my kids.” There was a time when we said the same thing, and didn’t know how to connect with each other. There were a lot more things we said, too (lol)! We felt more like firefighters, running around trying to put out problem after problem. It’s so much better when we can become proactive instead of reactive in our stepfamily. That’s what the B.Fam Movement is all about. Join us as we share how this can

2023/01/09

Sometimes it feels like we just have to vent to somebody about the drama that goes on in our blended family. Maybe your stepkid’s relationship with you isn’t going the way you want, or you and your spouse are seeing things differently about how to parent the kids. There can be so many things that you could vent about. The question we started asking is who are we venting too?

You go through all kinds of blending issues in your immediate family, but how long does it take for your extended family to accept everyone? We had a few “Ah-Ha” moments after our Christmas break from spending time with our extended family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.). It’s crazy that we’ve been a blended family for over 15 years and still see some divisions.

Enjoying Your Blended Family ·

2022/12/26

“If I could turn back time!” (a little Cher moment, lol) Unfortunately we can’t, and probably wouldn’t be good if we could. What we can do is try to stay more connected with our family in this new year, and we can do that through planning. As a blended family, we can have a lot of people we need to keep in the “know”. If we don’t, it leaves room for miscommunication, which in return can cause frustration, hurt, and being upset with each other. If our goal is to keep our family close and not
