I Shouldn't Have Had Kids

Blended Holidays — 52


Listen Later

Trying to make magic and create memorable holiday traditions—especially for a newly blended family—is a pretty tall order. It takes intention, patience, and a willingness by everyone to embrace the idea that families come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, it also takes a lot of wine.

This week we'll take you behind the scenes of our first Thanksgiving celebration as a new blended family — complete with exes, in-laws, and a raw turkey. The fun just keeps coming through the holidays and the years, however, with memories that are woven into the fabric of our blended family's story. Exploding pipes, speeding tickets, and a last-minute wedding ceremony on the steps of the county courthouse punctuate our holidays throughout the years. So get comfortable, press "play," and let us tell you the stories of who we are.

PS
In the links below, you'll find a website with the best sweet potato dish you'll ever taste. It's a 1971 Sunset Magazine recipe that has been a part of our Thanksgiving table for years. Go ahead. Try it. Guaranteed to blow your mind.
