Welcome, I'm Kate!
Naptime Kitchen started as a hobby back when my oldest was a baby...

The first week of school is a doozy for us all. They are tired. Mom is tired. I don’t want to give too much energy to the food. I want simple meals that feel familiar to them and easy for me. Sometimes I add sheet pancakes (on the blog!) because the leftovers are great […]
