Kate S
Kate grew up in Colorado Springs, but now calls Littleton home. She is a stay-at-home mama to her curious and adorable toddler, Benjamin, and wife to her curious and adorable husband of nine years, Rob! In her pre-mom life Kate loved teaching high school French, and hopes to one day get back into the classroom.
When not chasing around her child, Kate enjoys snuggling, swimming, dancing, movies, trivia, books, a good crossword puzzle, and all things food-related. She also loves spending time with family and friends, and lazy days.

Picture Me Here
