Jamie Scrimgeour is a wife, mom, stepmom, life coach, conversation opener, and bs caller. Seven years ago, she found herself sitting on the bathroom floor with a glass of wine, balling her eyes out, wondering what the heck she was thinking marrying a man with three kids and an ex-wife. She was madly in love, the kids were great, but as a 26-year-old with zero experience in the parenting department, she was over her head. When she went to the internet for support and was disappointed in what she found, so she decided to create the type of support she was looking for. Raw and honest conversations about all things motherhood, step motherhood, and living a kick-ass life.
