Hi, I’m Katie.
Welcome!! I’m so excited you're here!
The basics: I recently quit my job of eleven years, and moved across the country from Ocean City, NJ to Los Angeles, CA for a new adventure. Then our apartment flooded & we moved back across to North Carolina for a new job for Steve. I’m embracing my new role as a stay at home mom and content creator, and we recently welcomed a little boy to our crew in October!
A little background: I created Hey Katie in 2017 as a way to share my favorite finds, explore all of the things I love, and keep friends & family updated on our life. So much has happened since then, especially our miracle girl & sweet rainbow boy! Life with a toddler and newborn is wild & beautiful. But mostly wild.
While you’re here you can expect to find lots of lifestyle content, as well as thoughts on marriage, infertility & miscarriage, easy vegan recipes, our travels, and cozy home finds.
Extra! Extra!: I was raised in sunny Florida & although I have lived in multiple places— Philly, Palm Springs, Tallahassee, Nashville, OCNJ, Beverly Hills, and now North Carolina, I consider Florida my home. I'm the oldest of four girls, a Florida State University alumna, and I spent eleven years working full time in ministry at a local church. Now I feel compelled to mention my love of coffee because it's been a few paragraphs and I should've just written 'coffee' for this entire section, tbh. Other faves: thrillers, margaritas with salt, New Girl on repeat, vanilla cake with chocolate frosting, and that first feeling of fall in the air. I hope you find something here you can connect with, laugh out loud at, or be inspired by.
In addition to this blog, I write a weekly newsletter called The Friday Five. In it, I share five things bringing me joy that week, current reads & shows we’re watching, and extra treats for you like discount codes on some of my favorite shops. I’d love for you to join the club! Just click the button below to enter your email.
Thanks for being here, friend. You’re the best.
