Quick Takes: I’m So Lazy I’m Just Going to Use Others’ Words Edition

I can’t even remember the last time I popped in to participate in Jen’s Quick Takes, but this seemed like a good way to kick off the first Friday of 2011. Since we are engaged in full Christmas detox and working to get our children back on track after several weeks of sweet binges, lateRead the whole post >>

7 Quick Takes

~1~ We hope to hit an orchard this fall but even if that doesn’t end up happening given our busy weekends over the next few weeks, I plan on stocking up on apples while they’re in season. (Apples hit their harveting peak this month.) Now what to do with all our bounty? Well, Madeline andRead the whole post >>

7 Quick Takes: The Waning Summer Edition

I mentioned here that my family recently spent a few days at the beach. The trip was more than a vacation; it was a renewing retreat for one burnt out mama. Every day the girls and I ventured out onto the powdery sand. I walked side-by-side ambling children who smelled of salt and sunshine. WithRead the whole post >>

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 >>

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.
