Who am I?

I am a 43 year young married woman. I have two children that I birthed and two children who came with my marriage to my second husband. I love my life!!! Everyday I thank God for my many blessings!! Don't get me wrong....not everyday is perfect. We have been through some difficult times. Merging together our kids into a new family took some learning and patience on all of our parts. The kids were 5,6,7 and 8 when we were married almost 10 years ago. No matter how much you love someone you have to also fall in love with their children. If you are lucky, his kids will also love you back in time. My husband and I had to figure out how to be a step-parent as we went. We learned that it is best if only the parent disciplines their own children. This is a very hard rule to follow. We each came into the marriage with ideas of how to raise our children and they may not be the same. We had to be accepting of each others way of parenting, and lets face men and women are very different! I plan to use this blog to help those of you who are going through some of the experiences that I have gone through.
