Happy Birthday, Sweet Madeline!

Dear Madeline, You had your last soccer game this past weekend. Like always, you gave it your all and sprinted across the field with your tongue dangling from your mouth. Your face was flushed with heat (it was unseasonably warm even for Georgia) as well as happiness. Following the game, your coach handed out medalsRead the whole post >>

One Leg Up (Quite Literally)

The other day Madeline noticed a heel lift in my tennis shoe for my left foot. “What’s that?” she asked. “I had to get a heel lift in my left shoe because one of my legs is a lot shorter than the other.” As in almost two stinkin’ inches, People. And I’d been wondering whyRead the whole post >>

He Loves Me, I Love Him Not

It wasn’t supposed to happen. I’d been strong for so long. I’d resisted him. For nearly five years, I’d kept him out of my home, out of my children’s lives. But one moment of weakness, and now our lives are forever changed. It wasn’t all my fault. Really. I thought the curious monkey was supposedRead the whole post >>

7 Quick Takes

~1~ We hope to hit an orchard this fall but even if that doesn’t end up happening given our busy weekends over the next few weeks, I plan on stocking up on apples while they’re in season.

Let the Games Begin

I’m officially a soccer mom, having nursed a baby on the sidelines while cheering on Madeline and her teammates at her first-ever soccer game on Saturday.

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.
