    On Our Ish

    So the fact is we're not married. This means we're not quite blended, but we are "blend-ish." And this week that's exactly what we're focusing on. What's it like to be intermingling families but not living under the same roof? Interesting dynamic, right? Join us in discussing this topic and also what our crazy week looked like. We talk about how Rebere's youngest chopped off Katie's daughters' hair, the new movie "Spell" being all but thrilling, and much much more. See you soon on this week's episode of Blend-ish!
