-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mary Katherine Backstrom shares heartbreaking and hilarious stories of how God uses each "mess" in our lives to bring us closer to Him. She shows us that it's okay to celebrate exactly where we are right now—holy, hot mess and all.

A lot of people struggle with the concept of being holy. But the fact is, even the hottest of messes are being shaped—right now—into Jesus' likeness. In this book, Mary Katherine shares the sometimes-hidden evidence of God's work in her life and shows you that it's okay to embrace the hot messes.

Mary Katherine will share both hilarious and vulnerable stories about faith, friendships, motherhood, marriage, and depression. She will cover the topics that plague our hearts every day with raw, honest truth and a side of laughter. Mary Katherine invites you into her story as a friend, encouraging you to embrace the hot messes in your life. Because we are all a work in progress, and as long as we are alive, we are under construction—and construction sites tend to be messy.

From the Foreword by Kristina Kusmic, author of Hold On, But Don't Hold Still

"MK’s vulnerability, her unique perspective, and her beautiful way with words will help you feel seen, and help your own mess feel a little bit more manageable. In a world that constantly pushes you toward chasing perfection (unattainable), MK will encourage you to embrace the mess (trust me, definitely attainable!).

And, the best part? You’ll feel like you’re having a meal with an old friend who understands, who won’t judge you, who’s been there and who can hold your hand through it. Maybe even finish the evening in a bathroom stall, taking selfies. Just don’t hurt your face."

What if you skipped diapers altogether? According to Andrea Olson of GoDiaperFree.com, you can teach your child to use the potty from BIRTH! A very skeptical Jen interviews Andrea all about "elimination communication" and potty training.

Another way to think about it: What did humans do before diapers? And what do humans do in regions where diapers are not commercially available?

Transcript on Deva's Interview (but it's more fun to watch!)

- Hey. Welcome to MomCave. This is gonna be a new impromptu situation I'm going to try out once a week called "Ask a Mom." And for the very first Ask a Mom I asked one of the original YouTube moms, from MyLifeSuckers. This is Deva. Wait, that's the wrong way. There's Deva.

- Hi. Original is code for "old." Well basically. Yeah. We watched Cocoon the other night and then my husband's like "how long 'til we are like those people?" I was like, "Six months, about."

- At this rate. With the pandemic.

- Yeah.

- Two weeks.

- I'll answer anything.

- Anything? Wow, you're

- My kids says. That was my dream from the second I can remember even having you know, cognitive thoughts. I wanted to be an actress. I starred as Little Red Riding Hood on the stage in Kindergarten and that was it.

- Your debut.

- My debut.

- Yeah. Um okay. And so then, you sort of you know that they always use that word in like the business books, of "pivot." Like you pivoted. You pivoted by like using that and adding the momness to it. And you pivoted into something else.

- Yeah. Well I tried the whole traditional Hollywood thing. I moved to LA after college and beat my head against the wall and all I heard was the word "no no no no." And then finally I you know, cheesy as it sounds, YouTube let me say yes to myself and I got to just start creating my own things and no one could say no to me and it was amazing.

- Yeah that's so cool. Um was the first video that you made the "what does the kid say?" Or.

- That was my first video. Yeah. It went viral. Which was insane. I wasn't trying to be a YouTube mom. There were no YouTube moms when I made my first video. It wasn't.

- That was one of my questions. Like did you know that was a thing, were you following other YouTube moms and trying to be one?

- There were none. There were no other YouTube Moms.

- Oh wow.

- I'm the original. Yeah. So no. I wasn't following. There were YouTubers.

- But they weren't moms. Yeah. They were like young dainty boys.

- Way too cool. For me to know about.

- Way cooler than moms.

- I didn't even know you could get YouTube subscribers until a year and a half into making videos.

- Oh all those missed opportunities. Darn. Angel is saying the OG. Yeah, she's the OG. If you guys have any questions for Deva pop them in the comments. Okay so. You make this viral video. Let me just step back one moment. What? What made you think this was a good idea? Why? What was the idea? How did this come about?

- Well I wasn't intending for anyone to see it. I made a video. Well, dialing way back. Wanted to be an actress. Failed miserably. Had children. Got a job writing for Nickelodeon for their parenting website where I wrote funny articles about you know getting snot out of babies' noses.
