Bits & Pieces

I didn’t really intend for my recent blogging fast to last as long as it did, but life just sort of swallowed me up and there was little free time to do much of anything, including blog. The break was good for me, but I’m not sure I reaped much spiritually, which was the point.Read the whole post >>

The Feast Before the Famine

The girls and I have a tradition of splurging on sundaes on Fat Tuesday. We obviously do not take this indulgence lightly. Yesterday’s binge Do not judge me. It was Fat Tuesday, so you’re supposed to eat fattening things, right? It was also my birthday. (Guess how old young I am!) Oh, and I’m fourRead the whole post >>

Opposites and Authors

 I had the opportunity to chat with Danielle Bean and Lisa Hendey on the most recent Faith & Family Podcast.

Subtitled: An Obnoxiously Long But Hopefully Somewhat Helpful Post It’s late this year, but somehow Lent is still sneaking up on me.

Lessons from an Internet Fast

As some of my regular readers might recall, I kicked off Lent this year with an Internet fast.

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.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
