My helpful e-book has just been published.
 
Thriving at the Holidays: A Stepparent's Guide to Success, Unwrapping the Gift of
Peace
 

provides tools, tips, encouragement, inspiration and personal stories to help stepparents thrive during this time of year. I've not only heard from stepparents about the challenges that holidays present but I've lived it personally. Along with Gayla Grace, I have a passion for equipping stepparents with the tools they need to not only survive but thrive in their role. This book will help you bring joy and peace to your heart and to your family this holiday season and beyond.

The book is a collection of personal,
real-life stories and struggles from seasoned stepmom authors that are designed to encourage and support you in your journey.

Welcome to Café Smom.com! If you are a stepmom then you already know that you are the HEART of your blended family. You also know all the joys and heartaches that come with being a stepmom.  You keep your home running but you often feel that you are running on empty.  We are here for YOU. 

My vision at Café Smom is to serve up a hearty cup of uplifting words, encouragement and support and to connect you with other stepmoms around the world going through exactly what you are going through. 

I offer StepMom Coaching, a Smom share blog, links to positive resources on blended families, marriage, and being a stepmom.  We also offer a selection of gifts designed specifically for Smoms.  I designed and created this line of products just for stepmoms.


Café Smom is dedicated to you the stepmom and to helping you build a blended family that thrives. We are on a mission to wipe out the old “definition of stepmoms” and showcase that we are women who willingly married a man with children. We do not want to replace our stepchildren’s mother but rather be a positive role model in their lives and support our husbands in the parenting process. We are not the “evil stepmother” from Cinderella but rather women who try with all that we have even when we often get little in return.

What is a Smom you ask?  Here’s our definition:

Smom (smam) n. – a noble woman who cares for and nurtures her husband’s children (aka stepmom). 

You’ll find Smom and stepmom used interchanged on this site and to find out how the word Smom came to be and why we love it in our family, please read the “About Me” link.

As a stepmom myself, I know first hand that this job can be rewarding and challenging all at the same time. We, as stepmoms, do not receive much affirmation from our stepkids and most days we are left feeling frustrated and exhausted.  Each of us are fully committed to our husband and to caring for his children along with our own, if we have our own kids. It is my dream to create a community of stepmothers that can share in each other’s joys and sorrows. A place that will affirm you each and every day for what you do and be a reminder that you are the HEART of your blended family. You are important. You are valued. You are loved.

Thanks for giving us a try. I hope you will take some time to explore the site and leave your feedback. It is my sincere prayer that we can lift you up as a Smom each and every day and that you will see value in what you are doing. 

Keep pressing on,
Heather
