But, because I know Kara-Kae's heart, I knew the words of Mom Up would be a sweet balm to my soul.

Kara-Kae delivers truth, wisdom, and, most importantly, the permission every mom needs to reject what the world says, claim ownership over her calling, and declare victory in Christ., I'm not one to quickly pick up a book about motherhood out of fear of feeling like a failure as I turn the pages. Mom Up will empower you to fulfill God's plan for motherhood by standing on the unshakable foundation of His Word.
