Step by Step Parenting

navigating motherhood, blended family life, and a career, one step at a time

Welcome to Step by Step Parenting!

My name is Megan, and I’m the mom and author behind this blog. I write about pregnancy and postpartum, parenting twins, motherhood, marriage, blended family life, and everything in between!

When my husband and I started dating, and eventually got engaged, I figured that blending families couldn’t be too difficult… right?

Turns out, it was way harder than I had anticipated! There was no What to Expect When You’re Blending Your Family or What to Expect When You’re Trying to Co-Parent. Social media and the Internet were riddled with horror stories and worst-case-scenarios.

I never found what I really needed: an honest yet supportive resource for other parents like me, just trying their best. Instead, I felt extremely alone in my struggles, which made it feel all the more difficult.

So I decided to create that space for myself, and anyone else in a similar boat. I rebranded my blog from high school, and Step by Step Parenting was born. As someone who has experience as a single mom, working mom, stepmom, twin mom, and just plain old “mom,” my goal with my writing is to help every mom feel seen.

Whether you’re a new parent, a stepparent, or just trying to find your footing, we can figure it out together, step by step.

Here you can find all of my articles, sorted by topic, so that you can find exactly what you are looking for! This list will be updated regularly so be sure to check for new articles!
