Galloping Past Allergies
and into Motherhood
and into Motherhood
By Donna Smith
La Rue says watching Kaya's personality grow and develop is the best part about being a mom. "She's the most fascinating person I've ever met," she says. "And the hardest part about being a mom is constantly having to work on yourself to make sure you are the person you want your child to follow in the footsteps of. I love that there is a much 'bigger picture' in my life now. I don't sweat the small stuff. Being a mother has given me patience and the ability to put my daughter's needs and wants ahead of my own."
Mom and daughter enjoy playing outside together, and have just started planting an herb garden. And Kaya, who does not suffer from allergies, did inherit her mom's love of horses. "I love horseback riding and Kaya just started taking lessons – she's really good at it!" La Rue says. "We also love to go swimming and go on big travel adventures. We're having fun creating family traditions of our own. In fact, Easter is now going to be celebrated at my home every year with my big extended family and friends and of course any widows and orphans I can find."
