    Goodness…was your eye puffy on Good Friday? What happened? Also…when did M get a boot? Gorgeous little dancer, and how is it you still look radiant, no matter how you “react” to anything?

    Hugs and love!

    Madeline’s picture on top looks like it belongs in a catalogue! Such a beatuiful girl!

    Hope your eye is getting better! You still look great!

    I love that dress Madeleine is wearing. So cute! It looks like she’s taking the boot in stride. Rachel is so adorable. My sympathy for the puffy eye. I had a nasty allergic reaction in my eyes on our honeymoon. Turns out I was allergic to my face soap so the more I tried to wash them out the worse it got. I can’t use any products with mint oil in them, it makes me break out terribly.

    By the way, is there any way to subscribe to comments or to receive notification that someone responds to comments on your blog? I hate missing out on replies but I often forget to check.

    Melanie, I’m sure there’s a way to add this functionality, but I’m a total WP loser and have no idea how. I’ll look into it when I get a chance.

    Blessings.

    I think there’s an option to subscribe to comments now. That wasn’t too difficult. :-)

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.
