Seventh Day of Advent: Feast of St. Nicholas

In honor of St. Nicholas, give an anonymous gift to someone in need.

Since St. Nicholas is known as the protector of children, do something fun with your kids today. Sip hot cocoa together. Read a favorite Christmas book to them. Better yet, read A Man Named Nicholas. Or if you’re feeling particularly ambitious, try one of these St. Nick’s Day crafts.

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
