7 Quick Takes (I have no idea what volume I’m on)

I’ve been playing hooky on 7 Quick Takes Fridays, mainly because extracting seven semi-witty things from my gray-sludge-of-a-brain since giving birth to my third child has become next to impossible. But here I am again. Not because I’m feeling particularly witty, so go ahead and lower your expectations right now. It’s just that Jen’s gotRead the whole post >>

7 Quick Takes (Vol. 9)

~1~ You think my 4-year-old could find a bigger lovey? (Yes, she’s wearing a sleep mask. When your child is an insomniac, you will do Whatever. It. Takes. to get her to sleep.) ~2~ Insomniac my toddler is not. This girl loves her sleep. She actually asks to go “night-night” at naptime and bedtime andRead the whole post >>

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

After a “quick takes” hiatus, I’m back. For this week’s edition, I’m sharing closeups of our newest addition (born on Palm Sunday) because I don’t want to forget… …the way her tiny ear moves with each suck when she nurses. …the way her small starburst hand wraps tightly around my finger. …the way smiles flutterRead the whole post >>

7 Quick takes (Vol. 6)

~1~ In a recent tweet (I still can’t believe I’m Twittering. I’m the lady who frequently forgets to carry her cell phone with her and has never sent a text message in my life), I shared that we were having Blob Day. This is a tradition I’m passing along to my kids from my ownRead 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.
