Regret Having Kids? Never!

Karen Edmisten recently wrote a beautiful post outlining 40 reasons to have kids. She wrote the blog in response to Corinne Maier, a French writer and mom of two children who readily admits (to the world) in a published book that she regrets having children. I read an article about her here and at firstRead the whole post >>

In Search of the Great Pumpkin

We went to a pumpkin patch on Saturday in search of our own “Great Pumpkin,” which we eventually found with the help of Uncle Josh. Madeline shows her super-human preschool strength by picking up the first pumpkin she sees. Giddy up! Madeline rides her trusty steed, Red, with the help of Papa. One day I’llRead the whole post >>

Maine Photos

As previously mentioned, here are some photos from our trip to Maine. A view of Camp Loseekum, where we stayed, from a boat out on Lake Thompson As GG (Dave’s grandmother and our girls’ great grandmother) has been known to say, “Dog kisses are an acquired taste.” Clearly, Madeline doesn’t have much of a distinguishedRead the whole post >>

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.
