About Us
blissfully blended
Take a deep breath and know you're not alone in this sh*tshow!
At Blissfully Blended, we believe family isn’t always about blood; it’s about the people who love and support you, no matter what. And for many of us, that includes our blended family members.
Yes, blended families present unique challenges, but they also offer tremendous opportunities for love, growth, and support. With open communication, patience and a healthy sense of humour, blended families can navigate these challenges and build happy and healthy relationships.
Blissfully Blended celebrates the beautiful diversity that comes with being part of a blended family. And, yes, we’re also raw and real about acknowledging the struggles. There’s no judgement here; only valuable resources, information and support for your journey.
Support
A safe space for blended families to seek guidance and connect with others facing similar challenges.
Empowerment
Blended families can succeed with the right tools and guidance.
Inclusivity
We recognise and respect the diversity of blended families and create a welcoming and accepting space for all.
'Bonus Brendah' here
I’m Brendah Nyakudya-Dandala, the bonus mom behind Blissfully Blended. I’m a writer, mother and partner living in Johannesburg, South Africa.
With more than 18 years of bonus parenting under my belt, it’s safe to say that I have garnered plenty of valuable insight, wisdom (and wine consumption) when it comes to blended families.
I’ve walked (and danced and trudged and back-pedalled) on the journey, and I’m passionate about sharing everything I have learned along the way.
