Heading home after a quick 48 hours and so excited Heading home after a quick 48 hours and so excited to get home and squeeze my babes. This trip was really good for me. Time alone (truly alone. I never get that. None of us do). Time with good friends. And even a little time alone with J. I used to really struggle with guilt and balancing all of my roles at once. Feeling like I needed to check in with the kids when I’m out or vise versa. Never truly being present. My mind always worrying about where I wasn’t. Or distracted with texts/calls/checking in. One foot in and one foot out. Over the past two years I’ve worked really hard on being fully present and ok with wherever I’m at in the moment. Without guilt. If I’m with friends, being 100% present and there. If I’m solo, then really tuning everything else out and being solo. And when I’m with j, really giving him all my attention. Phones away. Guilt away. Other responsibilities, away. It’s not easy. We’re taught to always be “on” or available for everyone - which leaves us connected to NO ONE. Especially ourselves. This weekend I missed a lot with the kids. Soccer games, golf, cuddling, just being with them. But I know when I get home now, I’m 100% filled and I can give them my ALL and be truly present with them. Giving them my undivided attention (which is all any of us really want). It’s not easy or perfect, but giving over to the moment, and being truly present with whoever I’m with (even if it’s just me), has made everything feel a little richer and my relationships feel deeper and more connected. It’s an adjustment. And it’s not easy. But really giving myself permission to let go of the guilt and learn to be “in the moment” has changed everything. Ready to take off, get home, and show up now 100% as mom. ❤️
I couldn’t be more excited to share… WE’RE M I couldn’t be more excited to share… WE’RE MOVING to California! A seed planted over 10 years ago in a green journal I kept on my night stand asking….”what if?”. “What if we move to Cali…” Here we are over a decade later making it happen. Be careful what you wish for….because it might actually happen. J and I have been given signs for years that this was the next right chapter for our family, but it took us until now to finally listen. imagine what could happen if allowed yourself to dream and ask, “what if…..” Life is full of surprises and opportunities and is constantly giving us signs. May we all be OPEN enough to see them, and BRAVE enough to follow. - Sharing a full post over on the blog today about our move. I’m so excited to share more - hardest secret I’ve had to keep ☺️ Xoxo
Just hit publish on a new blog post. Sharing what Just hit publish on a new blog post. Sharing what’s been on my heart & mind the past few weeks in a new “life lately” post. Talking about having anxiety on our vacation and how I struggled to settle in, letting go of traditional expectations when it comes to holidays, and how our words matter 🤍 As always - just thank you. For being here. For being the kind of people who make sharing easy. I love this space - and all of you 🤍 Wishing you a beautiful and peaceful weekend ahead. Xoxo, Katy - ps linked the post in stories and in my bio. Would love to hear if it resonated with you 😘
Happy everything from my crew to yours ☀️🤍 Happy everything from my crew to yours ☀️🤍
Headed out for a last minute vaca with the kids. Headed out for a last minute vaca with the kids. Looks a little less like this —> and more like this 🤪 Road tripping for a little sun and a week together as a family ☀️💗. Any guesses where we’re headed….? And curious if anyone else loves a road trip as much as us?! J and I both grew up driving on all of our family vacations and I still kind of love them. In the car now already planning where we’re off to next 🤗
Life lately 💛 It’s been too long since I’ve Life lately 💛 It’s been too long since I’ve written for no other reason than just to share what’s on my heart. Today on the blog I’m sharing a little slice of “life lately” (a series I’d love to continue). No agenda. No plan. Just a brain dump for my soul to yours. I’m talking about everything from feeling really sensitive, to how I’m rethinking everything (like all of it). how I’m savoring this new season of motherhood, to sobriety, and feeling unsure and scared for what’s next. Let me know what you think. If we should do more of this. If you could relate to any of it - and just even how “life lately” feels for you. And as always, thanks for being here. And sharing this wild and beautiful ride with me. Love you 💛🤍
I can’t control (we can’t control) so much of I can’t control (we can’t control) so much of our days. But we can control how we start them. Our thoughts first thing when we roll out of bed. How quickly we grab for our phones? Or that cup of coffee? How we respond (or sometimes snap 🤦‍♀️) to our partners, our kids, and the hustle of it all. Life isn’t slowing down. For better or worse. This beautiful crazy fast world we’re living in is here to stay. So instead of fighting it… Instead of wishing for more time in the mornings (or all day). For more space For more freedom from our kids, our jobs, our responsibilities. Instead of wishing things were “different”. What if we met ourselves right we are we ARE and WORKED with what we have… starting the moment our feet touch that beautiful ground. I’ve had the same routine, rituals, whatever you want to call if for a few years now and it’s my everything. I go to bed at night knowing the mornings are MINE, and it feels so good. I work with what I have (which sometimes isn’t a lot - but it’s mine 🤍). If you’re wanting to start a new morning routine - here’s what’s helped me.. ✨ make the decision now to just do it. Set the alarm, now. Pick the time, now. Commit to the decision, NOW ✨ and then be flexible. For anything to “stick” long term we have to allow for exceptions. Be gentle. Forgiving. Life changes. It’s ok to change with it. ✨ pick a routine that feels sweet, easeful, joyful. Something you’ll actually look forward to (I light incense as soon as I wake up and it just feels a little “extra”… just for me) ✨ you didn’t “have” to do this, you “get” to. Changing your mindset shifts everything. ✨ let it build over time. You don’t have to overhaul your morning. Pick ONE thing to do starting tomorrow (it can be small). And stick with it for a few weeks and then decide….how do I feel? What do I want to add/change - let it organically grow I’m curious - how many of you already have a morning routine -and if so, what have you learned? What works for you? What do you love about it?
come Reset & Restore with me 🤍 We begin Sunday come Reset & Restore with me 🤍 We begin Sunday 4/3 and I want you there. This is our fifth round of helping to bring more mindfulness & intention into women's lives. And every time, in the weeks before we start I find myself stepping back and asking myself .... Why? Why am I doing this? Why does this matter? Why does she need this? Who is she, where is she & how can I serve her best…… And every time, without fail, I not only can feel the answers to all those questions, but I KNOW they are true. Programs like this, COMMUNITIES like this, are needed now more than ever because we are exhausted. our hearts are tired. We have been chasing "doing the right thing" for so long and we are exhausted. Our hearts, our bodies, our souls need a little TLC (to say the least). Reset & Restore is that reset we’re craving. It's more than just a meditation program, it's a chance to reset and shift our old ways of doing things. Our old patterns. Our old ways of thinking. And begin again. Strong, healthy, clear, energized, inspired. THIS is YOUR calling. I’m so ready and I know you are too. Registration is open. I’ll see you there 🤍
I’m Katy, and this is my life


Welcome to Grace in the Crumbs. A space dedicated to finding beauty in the everyday, ordinary, and often times messy moments of our lives. I hope that with whatever mess, whatever crumbs may be lying on your floor, that you find a little grace mixed in there too.
