Earlier this month, Heather spoke with PEOPLE about what traditions her family does every year on Mother's Day and shared that she's grateful that Christina allows her to have time with Brayden and Taylor on the special day.
"Usually — and I'm thankful for Christina that I get to spend time with the kids — we'll do a brunch with the kids and then she'll do something else with them later on in the day," Heather told PEOPLE.
"And we get together with my side of the family, Tarek's side of the family, we usually do a brunch. I try not to cook or do anything at the house because I don't want to clean up," she continued. "So it's like getting out of the house, celebrating and then coming home and just sharing the day with Tristan and Tarek after the kids go to Christina's house."
In April, Heather appeared on Melissa Gorga's podcast On Display from PodcastOne and spoke about her relationship with Christina. The proud mom said she gives Christina props for how gracefully she handled Heather's relationship with her kids.
After Gorga asked her if there were different rules or routines at her house than at Christina's, Heather shared that the mom of two "never micromanaged me," and her husband didn't either.
"That was really nice that I wasn't told what to do, how to do it. I was able to just kind of come in and figure things out on my own and kind of at my own time," she continued. "And she was very much in their life."
"So it wasn't like I was coming in to replace her. I was just coming in to be added love and help take care of them and help raise them," Heather said. "And you know, I give her props because being now a mom and having my son, it would be really hard to have a woman come in and raise my kid and not know what they're doing at the household."
She went on to say she believed Christina always knew she only had good intentions where the kids were concerned.
"But I think Christina knew early on that my heart was just pure. I was there to love and I was there just to be a really good stepmom," Heather said. "And I think she felt that and knew that and the kids loved me so much that she was grateful for me."
