3:year-old: AHHHHHEEEEEEOOOOOAHHHHHHH. [Or something like that.] Mom: Rachel, you’re going to have to lower your voice and stop screaming if you want me to understand what you want. 6-year-old: Yeah. We don’t speak scream language. We speak English.

Tarzan Knows How to Treat His Woman

Does anyone else find this illustration and its caption (He took his woman in his arms.) as hilarious as my husband and I do? We were flipping through a collection of his old books from childhood and came across it in Tarzan of the Apes. Hope someone takes you in your arms today. Happy Valentine’sRead the whole post >>

7 Quick Takes: The Hodge Podge Edition

It’s been a slow blogging month. It’s not that I’m in a writing rut. I’m replete with ideas, but I really just haven’t felt like diverting my limited energy stores to fleshing out meaningful posts.

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.

 

*Imperfect motherhood story for Rabbit Box (no children will harmed in the telling of the story and Mom had permission to share this video)
