What Universal Studios Hollywood Reminded Me about Stepmomming

In order to facilitate this post, I received complimentary tickets to Universal Studios Hollywood. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

Confession: I’m a recovering perfectionist. Working with blended families has helped me move past my rule follower tendencies, but they're still there, lying below the surface. I love rules, guidelines, and standards; it’s easier to avoid missing the mark when it’s clearly written out for you.  Growing up, I worked hard to never color outside of the lines in my coloring books, I strived for ...
