I grew up in a blended family. And boy was it ever blended. My parents split up when I was only 4. My dad remarried when I was 10. My stepmother was much younger than my dad, and she soon gave us my half sister and half brother. My mom remarried when I was 12, and from that union, I got two step-sisters, who I at least thought were "evil" part of the time. My older sister and I grew up this way, with all too much knowledge of step-siblings and half-siblings, but why didn't I ever imagine it would happen to me again?
My first marriage ended after five years (this blog is NOT about that). Almost three years later I met Modern Dad at a sushi place I was frequenting against my will. He had two kids, and they were the very same age (and same gender) as my kids. A modern Brady Bunch was born.
So this blog is dedicated to the trials, tribulations, and total chaos that is our life with (count them) FOUR tweens. The boys are older at age 10, with the girls sometimes seeming older, even though they are only 8 (going on 18?). We love our kids, and they love each other. We have coined them the "steptwins."
