Weaning Mommy

 I have a lot on my plate right now (don’t we all? but my plate is brimming and at a breaking a near breaking point), so to keep from leaving this space dry and white for too long I may be tapping into archives a bit more frequently over the next few weeks.  Rachel wasRead the whole post >>

Change v. Growth (Subtitled: 2011 in a Word)

Back in the summer I read this post about a book called Safe People: How to find relationships that are good for you and avoid those that aren’t. I haven’t read the book, but the post shared some of the red flags about the character of your friends and/or some of the flaws you mayRead the whole post >>

Quick Takes: I’m So Lazy I’m Just Going to Use Others’ Words Edition

I can’t even remember the last time I popped in to participate in Jen’s Quick Takes, but this seemed like a good way to kick off the first Friday of 2011. Since we are engaged in full Christmas detox and working to get our children back on track after several weeks of sweet binges, lateRead the whole post >>

Don’t Read It (Change v. Growth) Yet!

I tried to schedule a post for next week, but I goofed up (ironic the post discusses goofing up) and published it now. I deleted the post, but I know it will still show up in your reader (if you subscribe to Momopoly via email or are my mom this will make absolutely no senseRead the whole post >>

My Epiphany

The Christmas decorations will slowly be coming down this week, but Father reminded me at the Mass celebrating the Epiphany of the Lord that the route is still before us. We are still seeking Christ.  He also talked about how when you receive a card with the photo of the Magi, you always see themRead the whole post >>

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
