April at a Glance

Wow, I can't believe its been a month already. It seems like only yesterday that The Mixing Pot was nothing more than a crazy idea I had. Now my creative baby is a month old. We have covered so many topics over the last four weeks. Today’s 9th entry is going to be a brief summary of our month of April.

    In week one we found out ‘The Purpose of This Meal’. I discussed the reason why the Mixing Pot was created, which originally started out as a blog to encourage successful blended families. Since that first entry our objective has grown to also helping relationships. I also shared with you guys ‘Who The Chick Behind the Mixing Pot’ is. I wanted to give you guys a deeper look into who i was and why the topic of blended families and relationships was important to me.

      Week 2- This week we dug a bit deeper by first making a little ‘Food for our Soul’ by making sure we were emotionally ready to be apart of a new relationship or even more a blended family. If you decided that you were ready for this new big step then the next entry was a very important process for you. Making sure that ‘The Ties that Bind’ your new relationship and blended family are strong and secure is a really big deal. So take the time to bond and build individual relationships as well as a family bond.

      The entry titles for the two posts of week three was, ‘Strength in Unity’ and ‘Equally Balanced’. These two ingredients can undoubtedly make for a long and strong family bond. With both adults being unified in the parenting decisions and following through by treating all children equally the foundation of this family is solid.

       We now come to week 4, The entry “Lend Me Your Ear’ was geared more so towards relationships as well as this week’s second entry entitled “Stir Your Own Pot”. In all of life's relationships a person wants to be valued, appreciated and most of all heard. No one wants to feel like their opinion or their voice doesn't matter. So when someone is talking or sharing their emotional voice with you make sure your listening and receiving what their saying and not just hearing them talk. If you take head to that bit of advice making sure that you new mate is ‘Stirring Their Own Pot’ will not be a problem. We all have boundaries when in a relationship or a blended family. Not crossing those boundaries will make things so much easier. Less drama means more happiness.

More Happiness in life, love and family is the overall Goal here I’m just trying to help avoid some bumps and bruises along the way.

Tuesday starts a whole new month here at The Mixing Pot, we will have a whole new Cookbook entry, Our new Dish of the Month- featured family will be posted. Our new segment of emotional strengthening Food for the Soul will have its first bi weekly entry. Please check out our graphic t-shirts so we can show the world family is still cool whether it's biological or blended

 

Until Next Time
