The dough was a bit salty for my liking, so I may try an alternate recipe next year. However, overall I was pleased with the activity and so were the girls. Before weRead the whole post >>

Lenten Progress Report

My progress report? The good news first because I choose to be a half-full kind of person: I’ve taken baby steps in the right direction. Now for the not-so-good news (I won’t say bad): I’ve been falling on my bum a lot this Lent.  One step forward, two steps back. Or something like that. Failure stinks, especiallyRead the whole post >>

At the Heart of it All

The girls (mostly Madeline, my five-year-old) came up with their very own Lenten plan, and it’s been going well. We’ve talked about how the goal of Lent is to become more like Jesus.

My oldest daughter is only five, so I don’t expect her to draw up a long list of sacrifices.

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.
