Kate Cartia lives in Dallas, TX with her son and dog. She’s a Work-at-Home Mom, is always the first to sign up to bring paper plates to school functions, and openly has no real idea how to do this parenting thing (I mean, do any of us know??) She also believes humor is critical and lives to make her fellow parents feel like they aren’t the only ones winging it. Seriously, take one look at Kate’s Instagram feed and you’re sure to laugh out loud.
In our conversation, Kate literally talks us out of feeling like we’re a bad mother, or a bad PERSON, just because we don’t do things the way we think they should be done, based on our childhood, society, and all the other ‘shoulds’ that are thrown at us. We shoot down ALL the buzz words, and talk about how we set the tone for our families, ourselves, and the world around us. We also talk about how it’s okay that not every moment of motherhood is enjoyable, and how we need to put ourselves first.
I expected that Kate would make me laugh and care less about what other people think, but she is so much deeper than the laughter, too. We really have a heart to heart, and there were moments that gave me chills. Stop what you’re doing right now, and find As Kate Would Have it on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, and then listen to our talk!
