Author: SunshineStepmom

Hello and God Bless! My name is Lynnette and it's an honor to meet you! My husband and I live in Canton, GA, about 45 minutes north of Atlanta. I am a stepmom to a wonderful 19-year-old. We have been a blended family for 15 years. We attend Oak Leaf Church in downtown Canton. We love the Lord and strive to put Him first in our daily walk. Our road as a blended family has not been easy at times, but we continue to pray and love. When troubles come knocking blessings are ten-fold just around the corner! We would love to contribute our experiences, blessings, trials, and encouragement to other blended families who need lifting up. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! We can get through the challenges of life by listening to others and in turn guiding others.
Me :)
