Hi and welcome to Confidently Katie. I’m Katie and this my family

Confidently Katie is lifestyle and mom blog authored by me.  I a mom to a toddler.  I have a full time job besides momming and wife-ing, which if you’re a parent you know that sometimes feels like multiple full time jobs.  I spend whatever is left of my energy trying to figure out a way to make it socially acceptable to eat tacos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I live in Salt Lake City in a historic brick building turned rental triplex that I have a very serious love  hate relationship with.  I’m engaged to a Corey who loves puns and How I Met Your Mother as much as I do and loves me for all my little quirks. Here you can expect to read about a few things

My Misadventures in Motherhood

I never expected to be a mom so soon in my life.  I remember staring down at the third or fourth positive pregnancy test thinking…how am I going to make this one work out? Wouldn’t you know it, a few years a later and I have a perfect little happy toddler who is bossing us around and showing off her independence on a daily basis.  Here you’ll find stories about our fun adventures, advice I have found helpful, things I have learned through experience (aka the hard way), and lots of photos of my cute family.

Almost-Wife Life

We haven’t exactly done things in a tradition fashion.  Corey and I had Clara well before we got engaged.  She was almost 18 months when he finally  proposed, that being said, we’ve been living like a husband and wife for quite some time now with the title and the fancy certificate to make it legal.  You’ll get to read about how Corey and I keep our relationship rock-solid after throwing a baby into the equation so early in our courtship (oops), and how we parent as a team day in and day out.

Home Making

Is home making even a thing anymore?  Anyway, you might read about that here.  I’ll be completely honest here, I’m not always the greatest at  keeping our home…kept? but I love to cook, make us lunches, and find new projects to make our little rental more homey every day.

Style & Fashion

Just kidding.  You will probably never actually read anything about style or fashion here. Unless the incredible functionality of a fanny pack and diaper bag backpack count as style.

Fitness

Me writing about fitness is basically just a bi-product of becoming a mom.  I used to be a size 00 in jeans and now I fit a little snug in an 8.  You’ll find posts about my fitness routine, foods, I eat, and how I work my fitness into my mom, pro, and almost-wife life

Confidence

Last but not least…The name sake of this blog.  Confidence.  I don’t always have it, but I wish I did.  The tag line for this blog is “Going Confidently in Life & Motherhood” and that is truly what I aim for.  Every day I work towards being more surefooted when it comes to parenting, more certain about my opinions, and more ready to face the world every single day when I get out of bed.
