Thoughts on the step family

watch the video from the YOUTUBE SITE so it's not cut-off.

Loved it! You have such a cool style... I had a smile on my face while I watched this...they are cute. Being a mom/step mom is not a glamourous job, so I hear, but you'll pull through. Those kids are lucky to have you! Also, I really love the Snow White painting.

The horse one is different than the other work of yours I've seen. Looks like it will be beautiful!

I"m usually just a lurker- but I feel compelled to comment on this. The video is such a cool style, and so so "Emily". I feel like I could see you doing the rounds on Good Morning America and Live with Regis and Kelly, talking about your life as a step-mom. You are real. You are honest. You are voicing what I feel a lot of people are thinking, but are afraid to admit. I could picture you writing a style-ized book about being a step-mom and having it be an instant classic.

Love it. I might not be a step-mom, but I completely understand a lot of the same emotions. There are times when I am surrounded by the kid craziness and think, "This is my life? You have to be kidding me." Most of the time it is all good though. I love your Snow White painting!

Ditto Amanda, Rachel and Kori. Loved it. So real and simple. I got an even more up-close view of what it's like to feed children you didn't bear, spend time with them, watch educational shows with them, etc. etc. They are so lucky to have them and you are stretching and growing, becoming an even better version of the Emily we all love! Keep up the fantastic job.

I meant "they are so lucky to have you.."

Nice work, Em. I laughed out loud several times and could totally sympathize with your emotions and wondering if you can do it. Of course you can! You ARE doing it. This is a great video. Really really sweet kids. You are lucky in that regard!
