{this moment} Jumping for Joy – Literally

(Yes, this post popped in to make an appearance earlier than I thought I’d scheduled it. I don’t know why I try to schedule things ahead of time because I continually goof up. What day of the week is it? It’s the year 2010, right?)


{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week*. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, visit Soulemama to leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see. 

*Technically, this moment unfolded during our trip to see old friends, but it’s one of those moments I really want to remember.

    What awesome pictures! I just love the joyful exuberance.

    Oh and while I'm commenting, let me add that I love your little taglines: "Don't miss another obnoxious post in which I showcase only the most flattering photos of my progeny. Subscribe to Momopoly." Your self-deprecating humor in these little tags always makes me day.

    Cute kids! Also the sky in the pictures is amazing. Beautiful day.

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.”
