First Love

This one’s for you, D. (How wonderful it was to catch up with an old, true friend!) One of these days I’ll get back in the saddle again and join you for ride! — Several years ago Madeline (and Baby Rae when she really still was a baby) and I paid a visit to theRead the whole post >>

Yarn Along: Little, Hopeful Hands

Last week three older girls from some homeschooling families I’ve met came over to be Mother’s Helpers so I could continue to stay off my feet and let this baby safely and quietly incubate further. (We’ll hit the 36 mark in a few days. People are calling this a miracle baby. I’m not arguing.) TwoRead the whole post >>

App, App Hooray!

(Forgive the corny post title. A former supervisor/editor of mine used to say I that I perhaps had too much of a knack for coming up with puns.)

Love Grows, But What About the Bed?

When I was pregnant with my second, I remember worrying and wondering how in the world I could possibly love another child as much as I loved my first.

7 Quick Takes: The Still Gestating, Crazy Preggo Lady’s Navel-Gazing Edition

~1~ I had a voicemail message from a friend recently where she said something like, “I’m Facebook stalking you and haven’t seen any blog updates or anything, and I’m a crazy, paranoid friend worrying that you had the baby.” For any other paranoid, FB, Twitter, and/or Google+ (I actually haven’t posted any updates over thereRead the whole post >>

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.
