Let’s honor women in our lives who have nurtured us. Whether you love your own children, someone else’s children, four-legged children or have decided that having children isn’t something you want to pursue, we are all greatly affected by the role of motherhood with our own moms–by the pain of their loss or the impact of their presence.

Today, Katie and Mandy bring you Mandy’s mom. They walk with Laurie through her motherhood journey, digesting pearls of wisdom while getting a sneak peek into the woman responsible for raising Mandy.
