The best detox ever!

For me, it’s more like “Die negative thoughts die! Die hate die! Die every single meal plan that demonizes food and calories die! Die body comparisons die! Die fat phobic culture die! Die “New Year, New You” propaganda die! I’m just fine with my good-enough self. Thank you very much. I received an email yesterdayRead the whole post >>

Why we need Advent

This Advent reflection below comes straight from Getting Past Perfect, but it seems fitting because I’ve seen so many people across social media lamenting that their Advent hasn’t gone exactly as they’d hoped. Are you feeling that way, too? Well, join the Advent Loser Club. In all seriousness, I have far too many blank pagesRead the whole post >>

Kate update

I apologize for the radio silence around here. Actually, I don’t. Or I shouldn’t. I’m working on not feel guilty about things that really have nothing to do with my morality or my value as a human being, and frequent blogging (or blogging at all) just doesn’t fall into either of those categories.

Mom’s on TV!

As I mentioned over on Instagram recently, May just might be short for mayhem. The slower pace of summer is just around the corner, but this final sprint is leaving me feeling slightly winded (so is running lately while pushing the baby in my mega jogging stroller).

Tips for Attending Mass with Small Children

I had a blast on my first Facebook LIVE video. Sorry for all the rambling and baby swooning. One thing I’d meant to address was what a beautiful surprise and addition Charlie has been to our lives.

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.
