You will be reminded that you were created with immense gifts and unique qualities as you’re exceptionally and exceedingly talented. You are not a mistake; you were created on purpose for His purpose. More About Kacie: “It’s been hard to generate the content I wanted while at the same time being the mom I wanted to be. I really have tried to not spread myself too thin. I wanted to stay at home to raise my babies and be a part of every part of their lives and not miss it. Which brings me to now, I have a 3 1/2 year old and a 1 1/2 year old and I finally feel like I’m not treading water continuously. I felt that after having a daughter that I really began to dig deep and cling to my southern roots. That there is such value in teaching our babies to be respectable humans and to instill Christian values in them. It gave me the urge to share this journey with other mothers, but I also knew I couldn’t do it alone. I wanted other moms, similar to me, to share with you as well. That's when, Modern Southern Mother was born. I hope you join us on this journey.”  - Kacie Gaston, Mother Southern Mother, @KacieGaston, @IAmAModernSouthernMother
