Mary Katherine Blogs, the blog I started in 2010 after graduating high school. I wanted a place where I could document what I then saw as my “coming of age.” Over the years my desire to continue my blogging and creative efforts have gone through periods of waxing and waning. Having different outlets to hone my creative abilities has been one of the great joys of my life.
I feel a magnitude of fulfillment when I have remembered that my desires, dreams, and talents are an important part of my life story, and that I need to practice and fulfill them! That notion was made abundantly clear to me after giving birth to my second son. After two experiences with postpartum depression and anxiety, months and years of feeling loss and resentment, I realized that while I LOVE being a wife, mother, and home-maker, something was missing, ME. I had “let myself go,” and it was defeating me, mind, body, and spirit. I’ve resolved to continue my efforts in putting the ME back into my life, and I hope to inspire other mothers and women to do the same. I’ll talk about home, family, style, and creativity. These are the things I know, and want to continue to learn and know about and share with you. If you feel so inclined to join along for the ride, I’d love to have you along with me.
