Welcome to the podcast BLENDING THE FAMILY

BlendingTheFamily.com

Sep 3, 2015

Tommy starts off by talking about his expierence in court. This has been a topic that we have all seen glimps of where parents try to be their kids friends but it just seems so wrong.

Sep 3, 2015

On this episode we talk about not just how to handle question of faith but how do you handle when you go to church and your ex does not.  In our household for example we go to church and want the kids to also have their own beliefs. What we hope you get out of this show is simply supporting your kids.

Aug 23, 2015

On this episode we talk about how we have been better at talking about money as well as we will let you know if we made our savings goal for the month.  Having the conversation about who handles what part of the financial pieces is going to be vital in the relationship. The bottom line (no pun intended but what the heck maybe it was) is that this is going to be a conversation right up front even during dating. The question that kept coming back in the show was "what is your feelings on money?"  The other thing was how were you raised about money.

May 29, 2015

We interview two people who have taken a heart breaking tragedy and turned it into a calling. Don's youngest son was taken from him and the three years of the court battle. What Don and Nichole have created a website to help create special memories. They are doing a crowdfunding campaign to help get the site fully up and running.

Today we spoke with Erik Lehman of "Game Changers."  A little bit about Erik: 

A little over twenty-one years ago, Erik Lehmann spent approximately 50 days living in a

homeless shelter for children in Stony Brook, NY. This experience changed his life

course forever. He learned of a world that needed a voice and not just any voice; it

needed his voice. Erik was taken in by his best friend’s parents during his senior year in

high school, and the following year, they sent him to Cornell University to study Human

Development and Family Studies. This was an absolute miracle!

Today Erik is working on trying to not only get kids off the coach but parents as well to spend at least two extra hours a week with our kids.  Erik's passion and mission of Game Changers along with questions can be found at his website www.dream-catalyst.org

We touch on a current event of what is going on with the new laws dealing with freedom of religion.  How do you teach tolerance in a blended family?

Mar 27, 2015

We talk about not only taking the high road but along with that is the forgivness piece and how they can be tied together.  Do you have to actually tell the other person you forgave them or can you tell yourself? When taking the high road do you need to respond to the other one or can silence be taking the high road?

Who's house or will it be a new house?
