Hi, stepmoms! Whether your stepchild or stepchildren start school in August or September, it is about to be upon us again soon! I wanted to drop in and talk about the school-year aggravations that visit many stepmoms, especially with kids going back and forth between two households. I discuss missing homework, lost socks, and the dreaded lunch box.
