WELCOME TO
THE BLENDED LIFE

We can do better than statistics say!

We are a blended family living intentionally and shedding light on lessons we've learned from a broken past and now-blended life.

You and I are not alone; we are all in it together.  Below you will get the opportunity read Julie's writings about her blended family experiences, life lessons she's learned the hard way, and advice on how to not make the same mistakes she's made along the way. 


This is where you will also be introduced to, and get to know, Other Blended Families and learn from their successes and missteps (just click on this category next to "Julie's writings" to meet some pretty incredible and inspiring blended families).  To be featured on THE BLOG, please use the contact section to get in touch with Eric and Julie.

Dating With Children in Tow

We are so full of excitement and hope in the beginning of a relationship, especially if we are trying to revive our love life after divorce.

Rescuer; Stop Yourself!

I wish our co-parenting skills would mature into mutual respect, but it seems we are forever stuck living and operating in the land of toxic

Called Out

I was put on notice that I was making the situation ALL ABOUT ME and not about my child at all. STOP IT. MIND BLOWN.

Say What!?

Unmet expectations are the kiss of death in your marriage and in your blended family! Even worse than unmet expectations is the total...
