Out of the Mouth of My Babe

What I’ve extracted from the mouth of my very oral, very mobile, and very quick 10-month-old so far this week:

1. One piece of black sidewalk chalk
2. A small rock
3. An angel fish (of the small, plastic and Finding Nemo “tank gang” variety)
4. A scrap of paper
5. An unidentified, nearly fossilized, once edible piece of food

*I really am a relatively vigilant mom and I honestly vacuum every other day, but my child is extremely deft when it comes to trying to kill herself.

    Maybe yours and mine are sharing secrets on how to get quicker!

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
