    Hi Kate,

    I enjoyed reading your article. I found myself nodding in agreement quite often!

    I am in the middle of potty training the twins(3 yr). Whew! The girl was very resistant to going at all for months, and then all of a sudden one day a few weeks ago she just decided she was going to go and she did from then on, at least during the day. The boy has been going in the potty for quite a while now, except for pooping. He has this habit of pooping while he is sleeping, and I don’t know how to work on that. It sure is interesting how they are all a little bit different!

    Have a great weekend,
    Janet

    Kate, thanks for this. You said everything I feel about this whole mom thing.

    Sending you big hugs, hot tea, and some baby drool on top. :)

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.
