To the Newlyweds…

Congratulations, Rachel and Hendre! We wish we could have been in Greece to eat lots of feta and to celebrate with you. We hope you enjoy married life as much as we have. Now that you’ve tied the knot, Dave and I will be waiting for you to submit an application for “Old, Married FartRead the whole post >>

Tips for a Healthy Marriage

Six years ago I was all bubbly with anticipation, a newlywed dreaming of years of happiness and lots of babies. In some ways, I’m still a lot like that blushing bride. In other ways, I’m more like an old, married and wise fart. Although I readily admit, there are a lot of couples out thereRead the whole post >>

I’ll Never Walk Alone

My little one had a major meltdown last night. She was beyond exhausted and just couldn’t handle anything. Me not reading her mind and knowing what book to read first.

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.
