About Us
Get to know Mike and Brenda Baker, a couple married for nearly 30 years, as they share their personal journey of navigating blended family life. From raising grown boys to writing their book, "Blended Family Momentum: Secrets to Thriving in a Blended Family for Nearly Three Decades," they’re here to offer advice and support. Learn more about their rebranding journey, their YouTube channel, and their mission to help blended families thrive.
Hi there! I’m Brenda K. Baker, and alongside my husband Mike, we’ve been navigating the wild ride of marriage and blended family for almost three decades. We live in the beautiful state of Idaho, where Mike works as a plumber, and our home is often filled with the sounds of laughter, passionate conversations, and family gatherings. Most of our boys still live in Montana, where they’ve started families of their own, and yes—we’re proud grandparents now, too!
We know a thing or two about the ups and downs that come with blending families because we’ve lived it. Our journey hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been worth every hard-earned lesson. Through those challenges, we’ve learned how to stay connected and build a lasting unity that has carried us through nearly 30 years of marriage.
We’re so excited to be sharing our experiences with you through our upcoming book, "Blended Family Momentum: Secrets to Thriving in a Blended Family for Nearly Three Decades." This book is our heart poured out onto the pages, offering everything we’ve learned about keeping a blended family together when the odds are stacked against you.
As we wrote in our book:
“Marriage in a blended family isn’t just about loving each other, it’s about building trust, making sacrifices, and committing to doing the hard things together.”
That’s the foundation we’ve built, and it’s what we want to help others build too.
Our Journey with Blogging and Rebranding:
Some of you might remember me from my earlier blogging days under the name Mom’s Mixed Family Blender. I started that blog as a way to share our story and provide support to other blended families like ours. Over the years, that little blog grew, and so did we. Now, we’re in the process of rebranding, but rest assured, the insights and advice are still coming from both Mike and me.
The name may be changing, but our mission remains the same: to help blended families find strength, unity, and happiness. We're still creating content and sharing what we've learned on our YouTube channel, offering practical advice, heartfelt encouragement, and a good dose of real talk about blended family life.
Why We’re Here:
Blending a family isn’t easy, but it doesn’t have to tear you apart. Our goal is to show you that there’s hope—there’s a way to bring everyone together and keep your marriage strong while doing it. Whether you’re dealing with step-parenting challenges, navigating co-parenting with an ex, or just trying to keep your marriage thriving amidst all the chaos, we’ve been there. We want to help you find the momentum you need to keep going.
Thank you for joining us on this journey! We hope that through our blog, videos, and soon-to-be-released book, you’ll find the tools and encouragement to make your blended family a place of love and unity.
Keep going, you’ve got this!
Hugs,
Brenda and Mike Baker
