Let’s be real; family life can feel like a rollercoaster ride with all its ups and downs. In this heartwarming episode, Katie Hauck joins me to share her incredible journey through single motherhood, marriage, and creating a beautiful family that not only includes her biological children but also fosters and adopts kids from all walks of life!

Together, we explore the concept of family beyond traditional boundaries, emphasizing that family is what you make of it. Katie’s big takeaway? Just say 'yes' to family! Whether you’re considering adoption, fostering, or mentoring, she believes that every little effort counts and can create a ripple effect of love and support. Plus, get ready for some practical tips on how to introduce structure and intentional moments into your family life.

Takeaways:

• Saying yes to family means embracing all forms of family, including foster and adoptive relationships, because love knows no bounds.
• Every family has its messy moments; it's about finding beauty in the chaos and knowing that hard days are part of the journey.
• Kids crave attention and affirmation; even a minute of your time can make them feel valued and loved.
• Creating structure in family life is essential, but flexibility is key—it's okay to adapt routines as needed for your children's needs.
