The July 2015 issue of StepMom Magazine is HERE!
This month’s issue explores topics which epitomize the highs and lows of stepmothering such as:
Having a baby, living with teenagers, dealing with changes in custody and vacationing as a stepfamily.
The July 2015 issue is full of practical information and tools you can start using today.
You’ll also learn why you need to make date night a priority, why you don’t need to worry so much about your adolescent stepkids’ antics and why it’s OK to eat donuts for breakfast—or dinner even.
Here’s what you’ll find inside when you subscribe:
