A Toothsome Tale

Last Thursday my preschooler had a dentist appointment to get her teeth cleaned. Starting on Monday she kept asking, “How many days until my dentist appointment?”

On Wednesday, I told her, “Only one more day.”

To which she exclaimed, “Yea! I can’t wait.”

Something tells me she could use a little more excitement in her life.

    My kids LOVE the dentist we see in Greenville! They ask to go all the time!

    oh boy. I hate the dentist. She must have good teeth. I remember Madeline saying she liked the ride in the chair.

    TOO CUTE!

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
