“I went from having fantasies of leaving my husband and two full time teenage stepsons to feeling supported, understood, and not so all alone! This is a wonderful resource to have. Thank you so much!”
-Susan, Subscriber
“I love all the help the magazine offers. I’ve been searching for years for help like this!”
-Shannon, Subscriber
“This magazine has been a lifesaver! Each issue gives such real advice. My husband started reading some of the back issues and it finally gave him perspective of what it’s like for me and how hard it can be.”
-Christine, Subscriber
“Initially, I made the rookie mistake of turning to my regular support system when I hit major bumps in blending our families. I didn’t take into account that none of my friends were in second marriages, had stepkids, or had been stepkids themselves. Basically, they were even less qualified than me, but I was desperate enough to follow every bit of advice they gave. Needless to say, it was a trainwreck. I can’t describe the relief of finding out I’m pretty normal when it comes right down to it. And I really appreciate all the truly helpful advice. I love StepMom Magazine!”
-Jessica, Subscriber
“I just love your mag – for all the stepmoms out there! There are so many of us. Nice to have guidance.”

-Heidi, Subscriber

-Patty, Subscriber
“Reading StepMom Magazine has made me feel the most sane I have felt since I met my husband. We have spent hours in therapy trying to figure out how to make things work and I really wanted to about give up. I don’t know any other stepmoms and as much as everyone wanted to understand how I felt and give me advice they just didn’t know how. This magazine has by far exceeded my expectations of anything I had hoped to find. (I just wish I had found you sooner.) Keep up the great work and know you really are helping people and saving marriages.”

“Came home from work today and my husband proceeded to make me coffee and tell me how much he loves and appreciates me. When I asked him where all this nice stuff was coming from he looked me square in the eye and said “I’ve been reading those StepMom Magazines you left in the bathroom. I’m trying to get it.” Wow! Thanks StepMom Magazine!”

“Stepmom Magazine is a gift of optimism in a society where everyone is trying to climb the ladder of steplife together. A warmhearted approach that real stepmoms can relate to and a tapestry of articles and information to please everyone.”

Heidi, Subscriber
“This magazine is jam packed with useful information, resources, contacts and a fabulous forum for connecting and checking in for support and affirmation from intelligent, sensitive women who share the same experience.”
Emily Bouchard, www.Blended-Families.com
“I love this magazine. Even though I’m not in the “thick” of raising my stepkids anymore, we still encounter issues that I’m not quite sure how to react to. StepMom Magazine helps to guide me in new/uncomfortable situations. I even notice my husband peeking at it when I’m not looking! It’s a great conversation starter and whether he would admit it, or not, it helps my husband understand his role as a stepfather, and even his role as a father, better.”
Jean, Subscriber
“Being a stepparent is like crossing a mine field blindfolded, but StepMom Magazine makes it a bit more navigable. I love getting my copy each month and discovering a new perspective on step related issues, book reviews, and more. Thanks to StepMom Magazine, I know I’m walking a journey that many talented and successful women are walking with me.”
Elizabeth Guerra, StepMom Magazine Food Editor
“This magazine is not just long overdue. It is thoughtfully done, full of expertise, inspiration, and fun–something women with stepchildren don’t always get enough of. StepMom Magazine covers the broad spectrum of what women with stepchildren need: it grapples with the tough issues AND gives you tips for self-pampering and self-care. It provides a rare opportunity for stepmothers to do what they are too often discouraged from doing: put their emotional and physical health and fulfillment on par with that of everyone else in the family.”
Wednesday Martin, Author: Stepmonster
“If you are a stepmom, you really should subscribe to this phenomenal online magazine. It is filled with articles and features for stepmoms, about stepmoms, by stepmoms!”

“If you’re a stepmom struggling with confusing challenges you never could have anticipated at the beginning of your relationship, look no further than StepMom Magazine for some fantastic support. I’m the ex-wife and even I read it! StepMom Magazine is a treasure-trove of a resource, covering a far-ranging landscape with a forward-thinking perspective. It’s wonderful to see the stepfamily world change, as more and more stepmoms understand that their unique problems are definable, manageable, and they implement the many solutions you provide. I have the utmost respect for the value you provide to millions of stepmoms. Kudos to StepMom Magazine for its unparalleled excellence!”
