Good Eats, Good Times

Alternate Post Title: Mom’s A Big Geek

The baby’s just over six months now and had her first taste of rice cereal served with mama’s milk. She found the whole process hilarious and kept giggling when we offered her a taste. Then again, maybe she was just laughing at how ridiculous her mom looked. (Dorky woman pictured at left with big mouth answers to Mommy.)

    My husband likes to point out how I open my mouth when feeding the baby. I guess it's a sort of unconscious modeling of the behavior for the child. Glad to know I'm not the only one who does it. :)

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
