About Us
Hello there! I'm Katie, the heart and soul behind "Peonies and Popsicles". At first glance, you might see me as a devoted mom to three lively boys who fill my days with laughter, joy, and just the right amount of chaos. Justin, my steadfast partner in this journey of life, is the rock of our family, providing unwavering support in every venture I dive into.
Living in our small Midwest town has its charms, but it's not always picture-perfect. Behind the close-knit community and slower pace are the unique struggles that come with small-town life. Yet, these challenges, coupled with its benefits, have shaped my perspective, reinforcing my belief that everyone deserves equal rights. This principle I've championed during my time in politics resonates deeply within the ethos of "Peonies and Popsicles".
Although I'm now a stay-at-home mom, my passion for interior design has found a new canvas: our treasured 1894 Queen Anne Home. Every nook and cranny tells a story, and I take immense pride in preserving its historic charm while infusing it with our family's personal touch.
Yet, when the sun sets, you might find me behind a piano, lost in melodies, or letting my voice soar, touching the very chords of the soul.
No day is complete without a detour into my kitchen, my sanctuary. Here, I wear the hat of an enthusiastic home chef and baker, crafting delicacies that range from comfort food to gourmet treats. Through my blog posts, I share a slice of this culinary journey, sprinkling in stories of our adventures, lessons learned, and, of course, my tried-and-true recipes.
"Peonies and Popsicles" is more than just a business—it's a passion project, a dream realized. With every blog post, recipe, video, and handpicked product, I aim to inspire, entertain, and maybe even ignite a spark of creativity in you.
Welcome to our world. Let's create, laugh, and grow together.
