It’s that time again for a field trip on the blog. Our itinerary takes us to Pinke Post for a special story from my friend Katie.
I roomed with Katie, Leah Beyer, and Nancy Grossi at the BlogHer conference earlier this month. Katie, a discus thrower in college, vowed to be my tall, blonde bodyguard should the need arise in New York. Thankfully, I didn’t have to take her up on that offer, and we went shopping instead.
Katie has blogged at Pinke Post for five years. She is the mother to three beautiful children and the wife to her prince charming. In her professional life, she works in agriculture for state government.
Today she breaks her silence about her time as a food stamps mom.
It’s an inspiring story from a beautiful woman with great determination, incredible work ethic, and the blessings of family and faith—the stuff of real hope and change.
Plus she can rock a Tahari dress like nobody’s business. Please give it up for Katie Pinke and her true story Food Stamps Mom Breaks Her Silence.
She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks. Proverbs 31:17 NIV
Don’t Give Up, snappy new tune from Kevin Rudolf.
Click, read, and meet my friend Katie Pinke.
What a great post! Thanks for sharing, Aimee.
Thanks, Ariel. I think Katie has a really great story that’s probably being repeated in many people’s lives. Time to tell it and encourage others!
Aimee, your encouragement empowered me to have the courage to finish this blog post. And your editting was key! Thank you for featuring me today and being willing to share my story.
Katie
It’s my pleasure to share this. Your story is one we don’t hear enough although I bet there are many people who travel a similar path and have similar views about how social services should be used. So proud of you!
