Resources for Lent

Subtitled: An Obnoxiously Long But Hopefully Somewhat Helpful Post It’s late this year, but somehow Lent is still sneaking up on me. I’ve just recently been combing through online resources, notes, files, and books to come up with a plan to celebrate this meaningful Lenten season. I thought I’d share a few resources, ideas, etc.Read the whole post >>

Good Eats

We have a food snob on our hands. Nine-month-old Mary Elizabeth turns her nose up at anything pureed. Mashed bananas do nothing for her. Forget the plain avocados. This girl wants the good stuff.

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.
