Meet Katie

Hello! I’m Katie, the blogger behind Millennial Pink Pennies. I’m in my mid 30s and live in Cincinnati. I love espresso drinks, making lists and reading nonfiction. I also appreciate almost anything blush-colored, especially when paired with navy blue.

I’m married to T, my college sweetheart. We met in 2004 and got married in 2010. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that I’m old enough to have been with someone for nearly 15 years but I’m really grateful to have met him early in my life. We’ve survived a lot together – good and bad – and he is exactly the right partner for me.

We have two children. In 2013, we were blessed with a daughter, who we nicknamed Bean, and then in 2017 we had our boy blessing, who we call Dude. Like most other mothers, I am totally obsessed with these two. I absolutely know they’re not perfect. When my daughter gets mad, she screams “You are a BAD WOMAN” at me and my son has only slept through the night like twice. Anyway, they are loving and sweet and they make everything in life brighter, better and delicious.

Blogging is a (relatively new) side gig, so thankfully I have a daytime thing working in PR for a large company. I started my career in HR and while I liked it, it wasn’t the most fulfilling for me. Moving into a communications role was a great opportunity. I’m so thankful I did it because I was able to rediscover an old passion—writing.

Millennial Pink Pennies is where I share my thoughts on, well, anything. I’m interested in all your traditional lifestyle fare, such as health + wellness, cooking + entertaining, decorating + design, self improvement and more. I hope you’ll find my writing to be helpful and accessible.

I know there are thousands (millions?) of blogs you could be reading. Please know how much I appreciate that you’re spending time reading mine.
