Family is a tough subject for many people. Us, too. We’ve had a hard time talking about the concept of family – even to each other sometimes – over the last decade since we came out. With four kids who didn’t ask for this new journey and two moms with admittedly naïve and different ideas about how and when to move on from the families we had before all of this – it’s been messy. And good. And ragged. And new. And a work in progress. We’re not an idyllic blended family. But you can be real at our house.
