Snow Day

Proof that it snowed today in Georgia

 

My children never stop reminding me that it’s the little things in life that bring us great joy. When the snow first began to flutter outside our window, my 5-year-old invited us all to do a snow dance; its choreography consisted of us running around in circles, screaming and laughing and saying, “It’s snowing!” over and over. When the snow kept on falling, she announced, “All my dreams are coming true.”

 

Here she’s checking to see if the snow is sticking (it wasn’t), but snowflakes are still falling and the temp is dropping so maybe we’ll get lucky.

 

Sampling a snowflake

I’m so happy!

 

But I’m not. I’m cold. (My poor 2-year-old is just getting over a virus and didn’t share her sister’s enthusiasm for the nippy weather.)

    It's only 9:00am and mine are already out in the "snow" – the 1/2 inch barely covering the grass. 30 minutes of bundling them up like Michelin-men!! But they are having a ball!!

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
