Nothing a little tea and social support can't fix..
Deesha Philyaw, co-founder with her ex-husband Mike of coparenting101.com, recently interviewed me, and then conducted a
stepmom roundtable discussion with some of the stepfamily bloggers you may know and love, including Heather Hetchler of CafeSmom.com and Bridgett Lemos-Norman of In the Blender. I sound a lot like Minnie Mouse in the interview–what’s new? can I have a voice coach, please?–but I think you’ll really like hearing these other women talk about their lives married to men with children!

Talkin' About a Stepfamily Revolution
I recently sat down to be interviewed by Giselle Minoli of the Examiner, New York. Turns out Giselle, a stepmother herself, is interested in a stepmother revolution of sorts. We discussed stepmothering in context–social, political, economic–and imagined ways to make life easier for stepfamilies in general and women with stepchildren in particular. Hope you will have a look at our
four-part interview and let me know your thoughts: what would a healthy, emancipated stepfamily look like?
