Tea Time

On Friday, the older girls and I took Gaba to the Baron York Tea Room. It was an enchanting and delicious afternoon. Our only regret is that the lovely and quaint tea room will be closing its doors after February 15th. We were hoping to make a formal tea an annual tradition. The good newsRead the whole post >>

7 Quick Takes: The Hodge Podge Edition

It’s been a slow blogging month. It’s not that I’m in a writing rut. I’m replete with ideas, but I really just haven’t felt like diverting my limited energy stores to fleshing out meaningful posts. Every day I jot down thoughts here and there in journals, but nothing seems to go beyond the embryonic stage.Read the whole post >>

Adventures in Groceryland

Life’s been too crazy and unpredictable, and I can’t seem to free up any time to write anything new. Poor Mary Elizabeth fell last Friday after her older sisters stalked her like a wounded buffalo, and she ended up with a fracture in her tibia.

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.
