Raising Little Women…Sort Of

To lighten things up a bit, I’m sharing my most recent parenting column, which really makes the fact that some people have referred to this stinky, little blog as “spiritual” a tad embarrassing. You’ll understand the “stinky” reference soon enough.

    Too funny!!! Your girls fit in so well in MY house – where farts and very loud belches are considered daily humor! Thanks for the nod to the boys and the light sabers – Josh loved that!

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
