Born and raised in Minnesota, Kate needed to spread her wings and moved to Hawaii where she lived for 5 years before coming home to roost with her now-husband John, dog Jack, and cat Raquel. Since returning to Southwest Minneapolis, Kate has added another needy creature to the mix – her one-year-old baby girl, Lucy.

At the end of the day, Kate is just a nerd fest Golden Girl masquerading as a millennial mom.

I’m a first-time mom. Aside from some furry children, I only have one kid of my own. So while I often feel like more of a third-time mom (regularly finding...
DAY 3 My 16-month old knows something is wrong. She’s right, but how can she possibly know that? DAY 1 12:38 pm – I’m called into a conference room with...
