About the Author Presents: Episode 2-Blending Families Successfully

In this episode of About the Author, Paul and Jeannette Savage share insights into successfully blending a family. From necessary conversations with your new spouse on financial planning to creating memories as a new family unit (cruises were their favorite!), from deciding only to discipline their biological children (and come to each other when they had an issue) to spending time individually with their stepchildren to build a friendship - this episode is packed with tips for any blended family listening in.
