Hi! 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. I hope to bring some laughter and joy into what can be the monotonous task of feeding your family as well as levity to the often weighty topic of motherhood.

I turn 35 today, and this is the biggest thing I’ve been muddling over: For most of my late twenties and early thirties I was bringing our four children into the world. While they (and Nate) are still my number one priority and use of time, the role is changing. I am not pregnant or […]
