Great name! I’ve also been considering changing my substack name but I can’t seem to come up with anything I love. So I’ve been procrastinating on it.

I had been considering it for a long time and then once I decided on a name I was trying to find the perfect time but of course, there isn't a perfect time. Take your time and then when you sort it out, go for it!

Love the new name, the reasoning, and the unstaged messy kitchen, which looks and feels so much like my own.

Thank you Naomi. I really appreciate when people show what their houses really look like. Having a clean and organized house is very much a "thing" for me and has been hard in parenthood. I am growing.

I love the new name, although the last one was good too. My name was never abbreviated, but fully mispronounced. Janine became Janie, Jeanie, Janet, Janette, Janice, and don't get me started on my last name... For my kids, one kept his name, one did not, but names are our gifts to them. They can choose to keep it or change it. I love both of my kids regardless.

Congrats on the new name! As a fellow Kathryn that just goes by Kathryn, I relate completely with the nickname issue.

Thank you fellow Kathryn! It's amazing between the renaming and the misspelling, I am not sure my parents anticipated that.

Yes, it’s so funny. I see it now so clearly. It wasn’t many but definitely people hoping for more outdoors/nature/gardening with kids material.

Thank you! Yes, it fits my life, too! It feels more expansive to me, so hopefully others agree. And excited to introduce some new stuff, too.
