Welcome to Kate's Concepts! 

This is a compilation of my thoughts on my little slice of the world. I did life fast: married at 21, twins at 22, two more kids, a move and a church later, here we are. These are my concepts about life, marriage, motherhood, and ministry. I try to put into words the truths and lies, insecurities and triumphs, and fears and dreams that reside in all of us. I write to empower motherhood and beyond. I hope you find strength in these words, plus enjoy some yummy recipes and support your body with essential oils along the way. I pray we can catch a glimpse of this beautiful life God is creating for us and His glory together.

A year later, I am getting around to sharing more of Rowan’s story. This part is very intimate to me and may not mean much to anyone else, but I wanted to share how we chose the lovely name of Rowan June for our dear girl.

Being pregnant with Rowan is something that I will cherish, even though it came with its own struggles. Thankfully Greg was entirely thrilled, just like me, which came by my surprise. He said that the idea of having another child had been growing in him for a while.
