Think We Take Nursing Around Here Seriously?

Concerned Preschooler, after seeing debris in the middle of a major road near our home: Mommy, can’t you go get it? Me: No, honey. I might get hit by a car. Preschooler: Oh, and then you couldn’t nurse.

Dairy Queen Relinquishes Throne

I’ve been trying to avoid it. I’ve been trying to convince myself there might be another way. But it’s time now. It’s time to say good-bye to all dairy products for 10 days to see if it helps my little one be more comfortable. Baby M.E. is still refluxing (it seemed to have improved forRead the whole post >>

Got Milk?

What’s Your Favorite Nursing Bra?

I’m a bit preoccupied with babies as I sit and wait for number three to make her big debut. I don’t really need much at all for this little one, but I am thinking of finally investing in a few nice nursing bras. I’ve nursed two kids for almost two years each and I’m aboutRead the whole post >>

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.
