Amanda McQuillen
My name is Christina Lung and I am interested in submitting a blog for your magazine. I am 45 years old step mother to 5. My Husband and I have been together for 10 years. I was recently published in the Huffington Post for their weekly series “Blended family Friday” my article was titled ” if you can’t love his kids don’t marry him”. I’m not sure if you are interested in freelance bloggers but if you are please let me know. I have many stories to share!
Thank you!
