Books Read in 2010

Happy New Year! I’m still working on ferret out the perfect word to embrace in 2011. I’ve particularly enjoyed these words/posts from others this year: mindful, enough, harmony, and Eucharisteo. Everybody seems to have their act together more than I do. Ah, but I’m not supposed to be comparing. No word yet, but I doRead the whole post >>

Dear Readers, I’m a bibliophile who always has her nose in a book or two. That’s why I’ve decided to start the Momopoly Book Club. This will simply be a series of posts featuring different types of books, author interviews, book reviews, etc. In the combox, I welcome mini discussions of the book (if you’veRead the whole post >>

Grace Before Meals

Matthew Warner of Fallible Blogma recently launched “Support a Catholic Speaker Month.” As part of his initiative, he invited bloggers to “adopt” speakers and to share information about them and/or their apostolates in order to support those who give the Catholic Church a voice and help to spread the Good News. I’m beyond thrilled toRead the whole post >>

Granny Bee’s Art Angels Review & Giveaway

*Details on the giveaway are at the bottom of this unnecessarily long post (forgive the groggy mom for her rambling, will you?). “Azure!” my preschooler exclaimed the other day. “Azure means blue in Spanish,” she quickly added. “That’s right,” I told her. “Dora taught me that,” she pointed out. My oldest was born with aRead 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
