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

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.

Something really special we did when we took John Robert to Yosemite was watch the climbers scale El Capitan. This was especially meaningful for me, because Alex Honnold’s Free Solo climb was the metaphor I used in the opening chapter of my book. Here’s a small excerpt: As we watched, I was struck by the […]

We headed to Maine to escape the heat for a bit, and when we pulled up after 9pm to our Airbnb, there were people in it. I idiotically looked at Nate and said, “That is so strange that the owners would leave a car in the driveway.” 🫠 The owners did not in fact leave […]
