Blended Stone’s

I fear my child sometimes! Why? He is THREE! To some of you that might mean nothing at all. Let me tell you though THREE is scary. Who in this world made up that there was such a thing as the Terrible Two's? That person might not have had kids because two is easy peasy. When a child is two they are still learning to communicate and they seem innocent and sweet. Three hits and  it is a whole new ball game. They can very well verbally communicate! They know that there care consequences to there actions and guess what? THEY DON'T GIVE A FLYING RATS BUTT! You read that right. These Threenagers are testing you in every way possible just to see how long it takes for you to yell and pull your hair out. Why? They think it is Funny! At this age to them we are just their Minions. We walk on egg shells fearing what might set them off.  I currently have to teens in the house so I know what a teenager is like and the mood swings that come with it but THREE is worse. A Huff...

  Some of you know some of you don’t but I have been a hair stylist for the last 13 years. Yes... 13 ahhh showing my age a bit. Enough about my age lets go on to better subjects. As a hair stylist I feel I get to experience styles, colors, makeup and anything beauty first. If I have not discovered it myself then a client or a friend comes to me for advice or questions about new products or items on the market. I absolutely love playing test dummy too! I love all things beauty and fashion! So.. today I thought I would share with you my absolute current favorites. Let’s be honest though they are current favorites because the beauty industry changes so frequently. My TOP 10: 10.   Nivea In Shower Lotion I absolutely love this in show lotion it gives me that nice hint of softness with out the greasy feel. I can't stand  overly oily lotions or ones that you rub on and then later they roll off your skin. Is it only me that has this problem? This is a lotion that fixes t...

First of all thank you to all who read, commented, shared, like and messaged me about my last blog post Part One. There are so many different situations life puts us in it was nice to hear the variety of stories and life events. So THANK YOU for sharing yours with me. After reading other step parents responses to my blog it’s a general consensus that we as step-parents do not feel adequate and we feel less of a parent. None of us ever feel like we are enough.  We do not know the correct boundaries, no one wrote us a book on the proper way to be a step parent.   I did another poll on Facebook  my question this time was “If you could say one thing to your child’s bio mom or dad what would it be?” Here where some of the responses: *Don’t talk to the children about adult issues.. it causes them stress and anxiety. *Don’t bad mouth the other parent. * Why have you not been hit by a bus? *Don't bad month my children. (Speaking about step parents own kids) *...

  The hardest thing I have ever had to do in this thing called life. Can any one guess what that may be? First clues it’s not giving birth, it’s not some type of goal I have had to reach and it’s not going to school. All of those things came naturally and easily to me. So, what could be more tough? The HARDEST thing I have ever had to do and continue to do is be a step- mother.   Being a step- mother should in all aspects be one of the easiest jobs in the world. Easiest because as a step-mother someone else got to give birth to them, all  that should need to be done is love these precious humans right! Life could never be that simple though.   We as humans complicate things way more then we should. If we could all just learn to love like children love unconditionally then life would honestly be simple.   Not only do I find it hard to be a step- mother but also to find balance in that fact the I am a mother as well to my own children and a step-mother to my...

  I have talked about starting a blog for years. I may not have always talked about it out loud but I at least talked to my self about it in my own head. ( Admit it we all talk to ourselves!) well here it is my first blog post and what’s it about BLOGGING. The blog today is really just going to be me rambling about my family, my self but also in general in the end of it all I would love to know what you would like my first true blog to be about.   First let me tell you a bit about the name of my blog Blended Stone’s. Why is it called Blended Stone’s? My family the Stone family consist of my husband Paul Stone, myself Tyger-Lynn Stone and our five children. We have a blended family and by blended I mean my husband Paul had two little girls when we married, I had two little boys then together we had a son that blended us all together. So, that’s where the name Blended Stones originated.   In my mind as things get going and I learn more about Blogging I feel like the b...
