Today’s song was a request from one of my readers. I have to say, it’s completely appropriate as a weekend pick-me-up. But, it’s also a little bittersweet for me to post it because this movie (the original, of course!) was one I wanted to watch with Ex-BF and the boys. I always thought Drake would love it, and I wonder if he’s seen it yet.

Today’s song was the suggestion of my favorite stepmom supporter, Heather Hetchler, of Cafe Smom. During the years I spent as the partner of a divorced dad, Heather was both an inspiration and a lifeline. If you’re a stepmom or even a biomom, Heather offers heartfelt encouragement and perspective. She believes stepmoms are the heart of a blended family and she lives her role to the fullest. I’m happy to serve up one of her favorites today… here’s Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire.
