What do black bears have in common with stepfamilies?
“The sudden presence of a male bear can precipitate family breakup. At first, the mother is torn between her yearlings and the persistent male, but within a day after family breakup, she will chase her yearlings away whenever she encounters them." Has this happened in your blend?

Becoming a blended family is a journey, not an event — blending.love creates a customized map of your blended family and connects you to practical resources to help you avoid frustrating wrong turns along your journey.

Mike & Kristine are experienced blenders with 4 kiddos between them.  After launching their last blended kid off to college, they were empty nesters for 8 days before the pandemic impacted the norm and their son returned home.

BIOLOGY MATTERS! Listen in to hear Mike's experience with being a 'fake dad' to his stepsons.

I highly recommend this book we referenced Lauren Reitsema's Book,
In Their Shoes.
