Welcome to Our Family!


Thanks to Dave’s thorough research and the recommendation of Jessie, we have welcomed four neon tetras (including one tiny baby who made it into the pet store bag by accident) to our family.

Madeline has chosen the following names for her new pets: Flower, Leaf, Star, and Sam. Poor Baby Rae is still going to be mixed up, thinking a fish is a leaf or a flower is a fish or something like that. At least, the name Sam shouldn’t lead to any verbal blunders.

    Now, if these die, I am going to feel terrible about suggesting them!

    (and how bad is it that we don’t even have names for our 6 fish??)

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
