    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 the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
