To all my fellow Step Mama's out there...
I want to share a story as this coming Sunday (Sunday following Mothers Day) is Stepmothers Day.
A few months back I recall pulling taffy with my stepdaughter... The recipe said "pull taffy for 20 minutes", and after 35 minutes with sloppy, sticky taffy still glued to my hands I looked to my stepdaughter and decided to make the best of it. Although I was tired from a full day of giving massages I pulled out my silliest voice and said "It's time to make ze muscles ven ve pull de tah-FE"... and it's then... right then, when her exhausted face turned into magic. Her eyes lit up and she started in with her own silly voice.... and I knew it... I helped make that happen.
That's what being a step parent is... it's what being a parent is... because in the end we are all teachers, chefs, inspirations, and loves to all of our children. We may not see it now... but we will someday.
Happiest of Days... cherish your role in the little ones eyes, as you are magical.
Mucho Love!
