Georgina 32 ,

An exceptional support for stepmothers and blended families

I am deeply satisfied with the content, that Laura Jenkins has featured in her episodes. She features many different experts, that offer various perspectives and ideas about blended family life. A wonderful way to cut through the numerous misconceptions that other people have about blended families.
