I am a mother of three boys, a step daughter and two stepsons. I have been married for eight years and had to go through some adjustment periods. Now that the kids are getting older...there is a whole new set of worries. A parents job is never done! I enjoy writing and started again after many years of trying to figure out what I want to be. Feel free to stop by my BLOG...I write inspirational advice, post pictures and weekly updates lisapetrarca.blogspot.com

We are a big sports family. The kids play football, basketball, run track, and surf. My husband coaches and I help him out whenever I have a free moment, which needless to say, with all the running around between sports, it isn't as often as I would like.

I feel I have a lot of experience in raising kids and stepchildren and hope that my advice and/or experiences will be beneficial to other moms.
