Ron: Okay, so you’re a new stepmom and you moved into his house, how do you make it your home?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: You know one of the issues here is feeling like an outsider to your husband’s life and his kids. But it doesn’t help if your house looks like a man cave or the décor makes you feel like you’re living in someone else’s home. So, to help you feel more at home consider making some changes.
Of course, you’ll want to discuss any of these changes with your husband, but you might start your makeover in the bedroom. It’s your private quarters, so you can start whenever you are ready. From there you can move into different parts of the house. And invite the kids. They’ll want to contribute to the redecorating, too. Turning a house into a home, you might call that stepmom nesting.
For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
