Checking In

Well, it's been a while since I've posted. The last year has been hell, but that's a story for another time.  

My name is Katie.  I grew up in West Palm Beach and attended the Universtiy of Florida where I earned a bachelor's degree in English and met a handsome teacher's assistant named Michael.  We got married and moved to San Diego where I went to culinary school to pursue my passion for cooking.  I worked at a fancy restaurant for a couple of years until I found out I was expecting.  We quickly realized that we didn't want to raise a family in California, so we moved to Charlotte, NC, where we have lived for the last 4 1/2 years.  Today I am the mother of three crazy little boys: Carter (4), Logan (2), and Adam (2 months).  My life looks crazy most of the time.  We have an endless supply of matchbox cars, Leggos, and superhero paraphernalia.  I stay at home with my littles, which means that I get dangerously little adult interaction.  I sometimes wonder if I'm slowly losing my mind, but they give the sweetest sticky little kisses.  I don't even come close to getting the recommended amount of sleep, so I rely heavily on lots of coffee, under eye concealer, and dry shampoo to function like a human being.  I still love to cook at home, though my children don't always appreciate my elaborate dinners.  I have a hopeless sweet tooth.  My ideal treat is a French pastry, plain latte, and a really good book.  In my free time (hahahaha), I enjoy reading, running, yoga, and knitting.  

I have been fortunate to meet some incredible people along the way and I am thankful to have friends stashed across the country.  I find myself once again uprooting my family and hoping that it will be our forever home.  I'm looking forward to having a new house to decorate and a new city to explore.

Raleigh, here we come!
