The Corn Maze and the Pumpkin Patch

It’s become an annual tradition to head to Uncle Shuck’s to wander through the corn maze, to find the perfect pumpkin, to savor October in Georgia, and to spend time with family. Now I’m going to bore you with some pictures from our Saturday fun: Our little cowgirl Madeline and some of my cousins whoRead the whole post >>

All Saints’ Day Party

As a cradle Catholic, I’m a collector and admirer of saints. I have an envelope brimming with holy cards depicting these faithful followers of God, and I often turn to myriad saints during certain situations in my life. I’ve, of course, whispered a prayer to St. Anthony when I’ve lost something. I’ve prayed often toRead the whole post >>

Fall Fun

Today marks the first day of fall. This is one of my favorite seasons. I’m a sweater-and-jeans-kind-of-girl (especially when I’m pregnant; warmer, cozy clothes are so much more conducive to a growing belly), so I’m always ready for the weather to cool off and for the green leaves to turn golden and crimson.

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.
