I'm just a girl blogging about all things that make me smile. I'm a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a friend. I'm an atypical accountant and a new-found domestic. I spend my days trying to balance work, time with the husband and at home, and time for myself. I love reading books, baking, decorating and sewing. Be merry, Kate was started to catalog the many things that keep me merry. The name, from Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew.
