I am Kathy. Blogger since 2004. Since I started this blog I’ve made my home in Atlanta (twice), Eastern Europe, and Florida.
I’m mom to three amazing kiddos – they keep me going, in many senses of the phrase! You’ll find stories here of Bean – firstborn beauty who will always be daddy’s girl; Little Man – walking the journey to healing after epilepsy and a benign brain tumor (which he still has, firmly in place); and Bruiser – the name says it all, but also recovering from epilepsy. We’ve seen more pediatric neurologists in more countries than I can count. Hubbs joined the US Army Reserves in 2012 at a Chaplain Candidate. He’s working on completing his M.Div. so he can be ordained as a full chaplain. But until then, at least we have the peace of mind that he won’t be deployed till school is finished.
When I’m not working, parenting, wifing, DIY-ing, you’ll find me studying. I’m studying Nursing for a 2nd bachelors degree, due to finish spring of 2014. My pre-nursing career includes teaching English, editing, and social media management.
And the name Mudlark? A mudlark is a child – usually an orphan – who searches for things of value in the river muck. While I’m no orphan, I do spend my time searching for things of value. Sometimes I latch onto counterfeit gems, unwilling to release my grip. I’m working on that. But the very pursuit of the search implies the belief that there are treasures to be found, and the confidence that I’ll stumble onto them.
WOW WOW WOW!!! Why didn’t you tell me about this? I found on the facebook thang. It is SO great Kathy! I would love to do this type of thing btu don’t have the time – not saying you do but I really can’t see myself being inspired enough!
Miss you!

Kathy, can I put your son’s prayer-button in my sidebar?

Mudlark that you are, those things that you find of “very little value” are indeed true treasures worth more than gold itself for they were placed there by God for you to discover. You are a fierce protector of these valuable treasures and I marvel at the woman you have become. Of course the treasures that I see and those you hold dear may be different, but your inner strength is something I recognize that sets you apart from the rest.
Asa de mult mea placut cea ce ai spus Super!!! Bibecuvintari in toate tu ai un dar deosebit de a scrie. Success
Hey, stumbled across your site by accident as your post about clicking to donate food was automatically listed after mine on a post i made about a similar thing. Also I couldn’t help but notice you’re in Moldova which I think is v cool. They speak Romanian? Buna ziua. Looks like a good site and will come back to check it out soon.
