Announcing the Patron Saint of…

In honor of All Saints’ Day, I share with you a recent conversation among the Wicker girls.

Me: You know, if we all really love God and try to be really good people, we just might be saints someday.

3-year-old: Weally?


Me: Really.

3-year-old: But what would I be the saint of?

5-year-old: You could be the Patron Saint of All Hitters.

(Says the primary victim of our preschooler’s recent frustrated, slapping hands.)

    Oh, funny!

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
