Jesus, The Thirst Quencher

This Sunday, we’ll be hearing about Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well (John 4: 5-42). I’ve always liked this reading. For one, I love the fact that Jesus chooses to first reveal that he is the Messiah to a woman (and a Samaritan woman at that!). Anyone who believes God sees womenRead the whole post >>

No-Hassle, Delicious Crock Pot Chicken

A friend of mine passed along this quick and easy crock pot recipe a month or so ago. I finally got around to trying it and it was delicious.

Valentine’s Day Cookies

Madeline and I love spending time in the kitchen. We bake and decorate sugar cookies for several different holidays, including Valentine’s 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.”
