Here Goes

Okay I have a blog. Now what??

Let me introduce myself: I’m a 30-something mom, wife, daughter, sister, woman. I’m new to my adopted hometown of Cleveland but a life-long Midwesterner. I’m an avid reader of lots of other (mostly parenting) blogs and I tend to sign my comments “iKate”. I knit. I plan to do this in August. That is the thing that pushed me over the edge to start writing on-line. Kind of a way to motivate myself and maybe find motivation from others. I’ll be talking a lot about my training for the Breast Cancer 3-Day, but I will be talking a lot about other stuff, too.

You are probably wondering about the name of this blog. It comes from a 1918 folk song by Geoffrey O’Hara which my Busia (grandmother) used to sing to me all the time.

K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
You’re the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;
When the m-m-m-moon shines,
Over the cowshed,
I’ll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.
