Honorees backstage at the 2nd Annual Mother’s Day Soiree held at Neiman Marcus – May 9, 2014

I got the call a few months ago. Ruchi Mukjerkee let me know I was one of 12 women in Houston to be honored in this year’s International Mother’s Day Soiree at Neiman Marcus.

Hey Cassie – thanks for having me. Honesty and openness…my mantras. I love being the Magnificently Messy Mommy Mehnert. 🙂
