About
Hi! My name is Kat. My sweet husband Jimmy and I have 3 children.
About This Blog
Inspired To Action is all about practically helping moms develop the habits and skills they need to effectively manage their homes and raise children capable of changing the world.
What I Want You To Know About Me
I’m a thirty something mom who loves Jesus, family, music and sports. And business, technology, blogging and just about everything else I run across. I am a passionate person who struggles with focus. I’m working on it.
My mission statement:
To pursue Jesus with my whole heart and surrender all that I am and all that I have so that I can be fully used by Him.
To make Jimmy feel loved, cared for and admired.
To have fun with my children and help them grow up to be people who know, deeply love and wholeheartedly serve God.
To live my life in such a way that others are inspired to fully pursue Jesus and desire constant growth in their personal lives.
In my free time (because all stay at home moms have tons of free time), I like to run (I use the word like very loosely) and write about faith, family, music, tech and awesome singers who perform in my living room (It’s a life highlight for a music freak like myself. I had to link to it. Enjoy).
I also enjoy making parenthetical statements.
I adore my husband, I have two beautiful daughters (7 and 5) and a handsome son (2). I get to stay home with my kids….and my husband (he works from home too).
My personal blog is called The Secret Life of Kat.
WHAT I DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT ME
Blogging tends to be about showing off the good stuff. If you want to know what I STINK at, here a list from my personal blog of 25 Things (I Don’t Want You To Know) About Me.

Hi I’m Jessica. I’m from the awesome state of Texas. I am a stay at home(school) mom of 4. I am in love with your e-book. I have shared it with my friend and she loves it too! I look forward to reading your new blog. Thanks!
Jessica,
I’m from Texas too, and it IS awesome. I’m so glad you like the ebook and I do hope to see you around here often. I’m sure you have a lot of wisdom to share with us.
That is so neat! I live in the Austin area.
I tend to dabble in a lot of different areas of interest never becoming an expert at one particular thing. But I guess that in itself is helpful.
I hope to be able to contribute something
Hi Kat. I’m Lisa but most online call me by Sisterlisa. I’m from Northern California and I homeschool my four kiddos and run several blogs with my 3 daughters. We also own a new upcoming online business called Pix-O-Sphere Corp.. We’re pretty busy, but very social. ;O) In some spare time I play Legos with my son, Timmy.
Sisterlisa,
Wow! You’re a busy woman! Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself. I look forward to getting to know you.
Hey, Kat! Isn’t it funny…. your first 2 comments are from homeschooling moms of four, and I’m a homeschooling mom of 2 in the process of expanding our family by two more! Crazy… 3 homeschooling moms of 4 in a row.
(That’s the first time I’ve referred to myself as a mom of 4. It is weird.)
I’m in Alabama, but I am not a hick.
I used to be a writer, but that is on hold for now. I’m coming to terms with it slowly.
Sarah,
That IS ironic. I wonder who’s going to break the streak.
I don’t know if I knew that you are from Alabama. We visited there a couple years ago. It was gorgeous.
Hi Kat!
I am a mother of 3 (same ages as your kids), from Colorado. I am an author, speaker and eternal realist! Sorry to say I am not a homeschooling mother (gasp). I know it is just not my calling~ Enjoying your blog/site!
An author? Very cool. Please don’t check my grammar too carefully.
Thanks for breaking the trend. I was beginning to think I need to add a kid and start homeschooling in order to fit in on my own blog.
Hi Kat,
I am putting you back on track. I am a homeschool mom of 4 from Houston, Texas!!! I love your ebook and went through the steps (including buying worship cds – a treat fro me) to get myself going. I can’t wait for this blog to begin.
May G,
This trend is hilarious.
Houston? Jimmy and I lived in The Woodlands for several years and I used to work at KSBJ.
Eat at Pappasitos for me sometime.
My kids and I love KSBJ! Our last kid is an “extra” blessing from God. He is our third “last” kid as my husband puts it.
oops, sorry, that was meant to be posted as a reply to the last post. It’s late and I need to go to bed….
Hi Y’all,
I’m thrilled to be joining you from Canada and only hope I’ll be able to
contribute regularly. Kat, I used lots of tips from your e-book in a recent
workshop I helped with at our church on rejuvenation.
I’m a publicschooler of 80 teenagers and homeschooler of 2 (2.5 and 8 months! )
I returned to school (work) this week with mixed emotions and hope that participating in your blog will be an encouragement for me and others like
me who struggle with working outside the home.
God has placed in my Titus 2:5 as well as Prov 31 and I pray for balance
every day.
Blessings,
P
Pamela,
Nice to meet you! Canada, that’s where Jimmy and I went on our honeymoon. Banff. It. Was. Gorgeous.
Hi Kat,
I’m a transplanted Yankee, living in Hong Kong right now. I downloaded your e-book and have really enjoyed reading it. My favorite thing is that you appear “real”. Your honesty is refreshing, and I can relate to an imperfect role model.
By the way, when we were in the states, I was a homeschooling mom of 4, but now I’m an international school mom of 4, lol.
Deanne, way over here on the other side of the world
Deanne,
Hong Kong! Very, very cool. Do you have a blog? I’d love to read about your life abroad.
Hi! I’m Tiffany – mommy to two boys (4 & 2 1/2) and one girl
Let’s try this again…I got interrupted by a 2 year old who wants a tubby & a 7 month old who is tired of her swing
I’m Tiffany – mommy to two boys (4 & 2 1/2) and one girl (7 months). We are from a small community in Kansas. I came across your blog from a link on another blog & I am VERY excited about it! Thank you so much for the free e-book. I’m printing it today!
Ha – I know all about those interruptions. It’s nice to meet you Tiffany!
Hi! My name is Brianna. But you all can call me Bria (‘cuz that’s what my friends call me). =) I live in a small town in northeastern Ohio, where the cows moo loudly and the amish drive their buggies on the street in front of my house all day long. It’s really beautiful here. I am stay-home-mom to two beautiful daughters, ages 8 and 5. I send my oldest to public school on the bus everyday and take my five-year-old to preschool three times a week, but I greatly admire those of you whom God has called to homeschooling. (Sorry — guess I don’t fit the main mold here. — pretty true of my whole life, actually.) I also love to write and am working on a blog while figuring out how to be the mom, wife, woman that God has called me to be.
Bria – I’m not a homeschooler, so I guess I don’t fit the main mold here either!
I just saw this part of your blog, so though I already commented elsewhere, I thought I would say a bit more. I live in Central Illinois (just for a year and a half so far–originally from the East coast–we’re still adjusting to our new life and location!). And I have three kids–all girls–that are 3 1/2, 2, and 3 mos. So life stays busy!
And fun! At least most days! My husband is an asst. pastor at our church (the reason for our move), and I’m a stay-at-home mom. So thanks for the new blog!
Welcome aboard Erika!!!
Hi! I am Heather and and I am a proud SAHM of 4 beautiful little girls ages 6, 5, 3 and 18 months. I love your e-book and I have VERY slowly started incorporating your steps it into my mornings. I am working on a post about my morning routines and I will include a link to your blog. Thanks!
