I’ve dabbled a post or story over the last few months here, but truthfully, I have been comfortably burrowed into a corner of the couch. In my defense, spinal fusion surgery will do that to ya… & the cold, & snow, & splurging on the most incredible blanket in the entire universe ( you are worth it!).
As I slowly come out of hibernation, I figured now is as good of time as any to say 'hello' again. To remind us that we all have our things, to ground us into reality vs the highlight reel, to relate to another human in a way that makes us smile amongst the darkness of our world right now. To just let me, be me & you, be you.
[Ahem, clears throat]
Hi! I’m Kate!👋🏼
🤍Depending on who we met through, some actually call me Katie. Formally, it’s Katherine (after my Great Grandma)
👂🏻I love a good earring stack (7 holes in my ears & counting!), owning all gold but secretly wanting to do silver, too
🏖️Favorite kind of vacation for just me+hubs? Sunshine & beach. With the kids? I’ve got the Disney bug!
🥣Never, have I ever put a spoonful of cottage cheese in my mouth (I think its a texture thing)
💪🏻I will go to my grave stubbornly lifting heavy s**t
🐄I can make decisions so easily when it comes to other people’s ‘stuff’ but mine? I’ll contemplate it until the cows come home
🥎I played softball from 6-18 years old & will forever go down as the girl with ‘the gun of an arm’ from shortstop
🪴My favorite color to decorate with is a warm beige & natural greens, to wear is brown or pink
My ‘type A’ can get me into trouble sometimes, as I struggle with being strung too tight in the messy zones of life
🩵I wanted our youngest to be a boy and if Ava had in fact been, he would have been named George Joshua
👩🏻🦳I decided to finally stop fighting my grey hair (that first showed in high school), letting my natural grow free- I couldn’t be happier with this choice
🧠I would spend a whole day exploring a human cadaver if I could, & even longer prodding into the psychology of the mind & human behavior (a fascination that will never die)
💙🩷🩷🩷My 4 kids (ages 11, 9, 8 & 6) own my entire heart - period.
