Fireproof Opens Today!

My husband and I had a chance to see Fireproof at a special screening back in in July, and we found it to be quite entertaining. There were several laugh-aloud moments as well as scenes that made me reach for the tissues. And, of course, I loved the movie’s message to put Christ at theRead the whole post >>

Tea with Mary

We’ve started a new ritual around our house. After quiet time we gather around the kitchen table, pull out Madeline’s silver-plated tea set from GG (Great Grandmother Jean) and fill its teapot with tea. (Although tea is sometimes optional – it’s still hot down here in Georgia, so cold milk or water with a hintRead the whole post >>

Broken and Blessed

It’s been said that creation is God’s first missionary. From personal experience, I know my own heart experiences a new conversion each time I give birth.

Need a Date Night? Go See Bella!

Well, Dave and I finally had a chance to sneak away from the kiddos for a date and we chose to go to a matinee of Bella. Since becoming parents, we don’t get to the movie theater very often.

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
