Welcome, I'm Kate!
Naptime Kitchen started as a hobby back when my oldest was a baby...
...and grew to be so much more! Helping you create a home that serves you, routines and recipes that you enjoy, and perspective for the here and now is my passion. Life can feel heavy, but there's so much good to be found.

These are perfect for making individual portions of the dessert of your choosing. I also love how they are clear to show any […]

Not to brag, but this recipe is BANGING. This really might be one of my best recipes of the year and requires MINIMAL chopping!!!
