Small Successes 15

1. I carved away some time for an evening walk with a dear friend leaving the older girls behind. The baby slept the entire time, and I appreciated how easy having only a newborn is now (throw in toddler and preschooler and things can get a little crazy). The outdoor air, the adult conversation, theRead the whole post >>

Love Has No Limits

Me: How much do you love me? Preschooler as she outstretches her arms: This much. After a brief pause… Preschooler: Actually, I love you more than that, but my arms aren’t long enough to show you. I needed to hear these words. We all need reassurance from time to time, but lately my mommy egoRead the whole post >>

The View Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This

Forget scarves, funky espadrilles, and fancy jewelry. Babies make the greatest accessories and add more than a splash of color and beauty. When I “wear” Mary Elizabeth, this is the view I have. It doesn’t get much better than that.

7 Quick Takes (Vol. 8): The Delicious Baby Edition

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.
