IN THE BEGINING
Photo by: Christine Schrupp Photography
Hello, friends! I'm Katie, the face behind KDRose.com. I'm a for-fun baker, a working professional, a traveling fiend and a true (Northern) California girl.
Welcome to my blog! This is the most current iteration of my passion for blogging that started years ago as a student studying abroad in Southern France. In those days, I mostly blogged so my mother knew that I was alive (and happy) and so I could keep people up-to-date on where I was from one day to the next.
After a few years of writing about the Who, What and Where of my life, I finally had an epiphany that people were way more interested in the Why of the story, too. That's when this whole thing really began; when I realized my story could be a valuable contribution, too.
Ever since, this blog has followed my life from being a teacher in a remote town in France, to learning how to bake (and failing, too!), to making a wedding cake, and even to writing reviews about clothing (of all things). Through it all, I've come to love the work of writing, photographing and telling my story. I hope you like it, too!
Welcome to my little part of the web - I hope you'll stick around for a while.

A FEW MORE DETAILS ABOUT ME...
That you might want to know....
I love cake: making, eating and sharing.
I prefer people who are passionate about life. And nerds. Namely, people who live authentically and are owning it.
I'm a Northern Californian and it informs everything about who I am.
I am not married, though I wouldn't mind it someday.
I’m a cat person, who likes dogs and has no pets. I also very much appreciate my fur-free sweaters.
I travel. Often. And if I’m not traveling often, I’m getting very very antsy.
I recently returned from a trip to Israel and Jordan in the spring of 2018. Setting my sights on Scotland in October!
I love sports, exercise and staying fit. I also love wine, cookies and cheese. Still working that one out.
I'm a writer and most of my best writing lives here.
