The Nacho Kids Podcast: Blended Family Lifesaver

In this episode of the Nacho Kids Podcast, Lori and David, co-founders of Nacho Kids, interview stepmom Princess Lauren. Lauren has been blending for 8 years. She has two stepkids and one "ours" kid. Things were great with the blend in the beginning, but when stepmom became pregnant things changed.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Being an overly involved stepmom
• Stepkid challenges from an "ours" kid coming into the picture
