This space used to be called Wine & Weekends.
There was a time when I thought the good stuff happened somewhere else.
I started blogging under the name Wine & Weekends when blogging, travel, photography, and social media were shaping my life.
Additionally, I loved discovering places, taking pictures, telling stories, and sharing highlights as part of my word and weekdays routine.
And if I’m being honest, I loved being seen.
I built a life that looked pretty good from the outside. But somewhere along the way, I started realizing that I didn’t want to spend my life performing one.
So I changed the name.
Wine & Weekends became Word & Weekdays.
It was more than a re-brand. This shift represented an internal move toward faith. Additionally, it moved toward ordinary life and being present in the life I already had. Rather than chasing the next escape, I learned to stay present.
Additionally, I began to value the word and weekdays as anchors in daily life.
The weekends became the weekdays.
The destination became the everyday.
For a time, Word & Weekdays became a place where I explored faith and asked questions.
As a result, I sought to understand what it meant to follow Jesus beyond Sunday, focusing on word and weekdays.
But somewhere along the way, I started to realize something else:
Being grounded doesn’t mean I have to stop creating.
I still love photography. I still love writing. I still love telling stories, discovering places, making things, trying new things, and finding something so interesting that I accidentally spend four hours researching it.
I just don’t want to perform my life anymore.
My aim is to live it and to create from inside it.
So that’s what Word & Weekdays is becoming.
A place for the things I’m thinking about, learning, making, experiencing, and occasionally obsessing over.
You’ll find faith and questions here. Motherhood and everyday life. Travel and food. Photography and creative work. Things I’ve learned, things I’m still figuring out, and the occasional rabbit hole that absolutely did not need to go as deep as it did.
Basically, Words, Weekdays, Creativity, Exploration, and Rabbit Holes.
I’m Katie… a 32-year-old mom, wife, business owner, writer, photographer, storyteller, former travel blogger, and professional over thinker.
My goal is not to show you how perfect my life is.
I’m here to notice the interesting parts of the life I’m actually living.
Because maybe the point was never to escape the everyday.
Maybe there were stories here all along.
