I’m OBSESSED with YOU!

SIGN ME UP!

I have a problem…and I’d like to get it off my chest. Here goes:

     I’m OBSESSED with YOU, yes you Mama, and with all of the mothers across this world.

          Like just can’t get enough of, think about it all day long, totally get excited to talk about…MOMS.

Entrance to the mom club is automatic once that bambino arrives yes, BUT you instantly gain my favorite trait in someone ever:  GRIT!   A ‘gritty mom’ isn’t exactly sexy on first glance, but I seriously beg to differ.

  • You’ve been through the hilariously not cute pregnancy with weird and gross stuff happening, and life altering scares. You lived to tell the tale.
  • You’ve figured out how to carry 2+ kids, one sleeping, a 25 lb diaper bag, 3 bags of groceries, AND your coffee all in one fail swoop no spills.
  • You’ve worked diligently to budget the family finances and wratched it down so you can stay home.
  • OR you’ve worked your @$! off creating more income to show your kids that anything is possible, truly.
  • You’ve made the painfully hard, just awful gut-wrenching decisions when no one else would.
  • You’ve figured out how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps time…and time…and time again.
  • You start businesses, you somehow figure out how to do more, because you’ve got a burning passion to share.
  • You change the world for the better.
  • You say NO and prioritize until it hurts and fight HARD to safeguard your precious family time.
  • You’ve been through labor & delivery…no matter the method. No words my level of respect for you here…
  • You share vulnerabilities openly, or try to get better at that as we grow.
  • You are the CFOs, the CEOs, the human relations department, the schedulers, the innovators (hello snow days), the everything in your families.
  • You teach every moment of everyday. You can’t help it really…
  • You make S**** happen!  Hands down.

A mama’s fierce strength and earned grit are the sexiest things I’ve ever known. I wrote in a friend’s baby shower card recently..”You’ve made a human, delivered it, and kept it alive….you can now do ANYTHING, seriously.”

 

That’s why I’m obsessed, genuinely in awe, amazed, and inspired by all the moms I know, and those I don’t. You (enter passionate curse word) ROCK!!!!!

I’m the most extroverted introvert you’ll ever met. I’m happiest curled up reading and not talking to anyone. But, find immense reward in taking BOLD chances. My background is as a physician - I am a hardcore science nerd, spending my former years attending medical school and being all things “doctor.” Then I traveled the country with my husband being an official baseball wife - which is hilariously not glamorous. Once back in Dayton, spent a few years as a personal trainer working with clients suffering from cancer, chronic illness, and the “I can’t do it syndrome.” In 2014 I co-founded Kate’s Plate, which is a healthy cooking service here to transform lives and the way we do family dinner. Also, I am the ‘CEO’ of Beyond The Game Sports Training, my hubby’s sports facility, and teach healthy cooking classes at Dororthy Lane Market’s Culinary Center. I very much struggle to switch modes from balls-out entrepreneur to gentle mommy mode on the daily. My son, Cooper, is 1 and a spitting image of his father, Jeff. He is obsessed with his grandpa and has the darndest little smirk. Jeff and I are Centerville natives, and came back here to plant our roots and give back to the place who made us who we are today. Random facts: I hate to shop, I eat a lot of butter, I'm a hippie at heart, I’ve taken flying lessons, I don’t watch TV or do Pinterest (gasp!!) Favorite things about being motherhood: Nursing (calorie burning bonus, hello!), watching daddy make the kid laugh so hard he can barely breathe, and the way the moments of parenting bring me back down to earth, back to the here and now

  1. And don’t forget the gritty moms who have put their hearts on the line through adoption and foster care or birth moms who have made gut-wrenching decisions for their children. Heros in my book!

    • Oh Tracy!

      That bunch of moms is the grittiest! 🙂 In a good way haha. Seriously, as a biological mom I can only imagine the immense strength and gusto it takes to give up, adopt, foster and become parents in those manners. The human heart is amazing. Seriously…moms, GAH! SO crazy amazing.
