Hi, I'm Katie.
I'm a 43-year-old mom of two boys plus two bonus kids — ages 11, 11, 10, and 8. Newly engaged, health-conscious, active, and living with my whole family under one roof.
I'm on a mission to slow down, simplify, and create the most beautiful life I can for my family. This space is where I share what that actually looks like: clean, safe products I trust, simple routines that stick, and the quiet wins that make a busy home feel like home.
From overwhelmed to a little more simple.
The short version: I'm a 43-year-old mom of four kids — ages 11, 11, 10, and 8 — newly engaged, and living with my whole family under one roof. Life is loud, busy, and full, and I wouldn't have it any other way. But somewhere in the middle of the noise, I started paying attention to the small stuff: the products I brought into our home, the routines that made mornings calm instead of chaotic, and the little habits that turned our house into a home.
That's what led me here. I started reading labels more carefully, asking better questions about what I was putting on my skin and in front of my kids, and choosing simple favorites that actually held up to real life. I'm not chasing perfection — I'm after clean, safe, simple choices I can make most days without overthinking.
Katie Clean & Simple is where I share what that actually looks like. The products I truly use and love, the routines that stick, and the honest truth that a few intentional swaps go a lot further than a total redo. What works for one family won't work for everyone — but I'm convinced that slowing down and simplifying is a real, reachable way forward.
What I promise you here
Ingredients I understand
I like products I can actually read the label on. When something's clean, you shouldn't need a chemistry degree to trust it.
The family test
If I wouldn't use it on my kids or my own skin, I won't feature it here. That's the bar, full stop.
Routines that stick
No perfect overhauls. Just small, repeatable wins that make a busy home feel calmer and lighter.
"Slow down. Simplify. Make home feel like home."
