  1. 05 I Are You My Llama: Creating a blended Family after Divorce Feelings & Co 51:36

Lauren always knew she wanted a family. The way she imagined it, she’d meet a great guy, get married, and have babies. But when she finally met Dan in her late 30s, that’s not how it happened. Dan was a divorced dad with two small kids, so their family became a blended one.

Along the way she gained more Love than she ever imagined was possible.
