The former TOWIE star, 34, recently broke down in tears as she admitted to struggling with the move and feeling homesick for the UK and her stepsons.
Kate and her husband Rio, 47, moved their life to Dubai in August last year, along with their children, Shae, two, Cree, five, as well as Rio's daughter Tia, 14.
His sons Lorenz, 19, and Tate, 17, did not come with them due to their budding football careers back home in the UK.
Giving an insight into her life in the UAE this week, Kate kicked off her morning at 6am and got ready for the day.
After waking up her children she then got them dressed, did their hair and made their breakfast before doing the school run.

The influencer admitted she was finding it difficult being back after spending a cosy Christmas back in London, as well as missing home comforts.
While Kate has only been back home once during her stay so far, she was visited by an old friend a few months after relocating.
After her pal left, she admitted it was hard to say goodbye after spending quality time together during their stay.
In a new episode of her Blended podcast, she said: 'I feel like we've opened our eyes to a different world. But I love London, I love the UK.
'I love so many things about the UK. I do feel happy in Dubai, but I'm just missing a part of me.'

Kate added that the move has also helped Rio be more 'present' with his family, after he stepped back from his role as a pundit for TNT Sports last year.
She added: 'I think it's an amazing place to live, I think it's amazing for the children. The children are thriving and happy and living a life of just outside freedom.

'Rio loves it so much. I am enjoying it, but I miss home quite a lot. I get upset. I miss the big boys a lot and I'm just struggling with that.
'I know this decision is right for my younger children and as a family we are settled there, but the boys are following their football careers. So they're doing what they want to do otherwise they'd be with us.
'But it's very hard because we've been through so much as a family and we've always been together and that's a huge adjustment.'
Kate added that she and her family have felt far safer in Dubai than the UK, however she admitted she's even begun to 'miss' the English weather.
She added: 'If I could merge the two worlds together it would be absolutely perfect.

'I think I miss people. I miss the rain. The cold, cool air on your face. I miss the culture of England. Certain types of people and all different types of people.

Sharing how the move has affected Rio, Kate added: 'He's been travelling a lot for the last three weeks, but the work life balance is better.
'When he's at home he's at home and present, whereas before he was working a lot.
'We just go for walks and stuff. We did a lot together before, but I didn't realise how much we were separate, because there was a lot in the diary.
'He does the school run a lot of days. That's a really nice thing... 'It's not like I'm unhappy, I'm adjusting.'
Since the start of the year, Kate has opened up to her followers about how she's struggled with 'fatigue' and feeling 'pressured to do everything' as she juggled motherhood with a busy work schedule.
