Nature Study at Nana & Pop’s

Observe the lizard perched on Pop’s head. I just love Mary Elizabeth’s expression here.

    I’m admiring big sister who looks very pleased with herself to be unafraid when a large creepy-crawly is on her shoulder. I’ll be she’s the one who brings critters into the house and says “can I keep him?”

    Mary Elizabeth expresses my sentiments exactly. :)

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
