Author Katie Marie

Hi! I’m Katie Marie and I am so glad you are here. Motherhood took me on an unexpected journey of becoming a children’s picture book author. After having my second baby, sweet Elloise, I decided to follow my dreams in order to show my children they are capable of anything they put their minds to. With hard work, determination, and positive self-talk, I believe any of us are capable of reaching our biggest goals! Every Friday I write a new blog post about different topics related to my life as a wife, mother, and writer. I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I enjoy writing it. May you find adventure wherever you go and as always, happy reading.
