Mother's day is a day I’ve never felt that greatest about.

Until now when I get to wake up every day knowing that I’m being a better momma than I ever got!

I’m rising above the stigma “it runs in the family” I’m breaking that trend!

It feels amazing to hear my babies tell me Happy Mother's Day. and this day gets just a little easier!

Tasha said I could share her words.

Tasha’s one of my foster kiddos. Her life was tragically painful. She came to me as a teen and amazingly never felt sorry for herself. She charged forward, blessing so many others and now her kiddos.

I’m so blessed she embraces me as Mamacita.

I admire the life you and your hubby, Kody, are creating.

Always your Mamacita, Katie
