Kate Stahl is a longtime journalist and Chicagoan who loves all things "girly" (fashion, beauty, home design), and since having her daughter, Mae, in April 2011, all things little girly, too. She became a stay-at-home mom when her son, Sam, came into the mix in January 2014, and she's been trying to tackle that new, crazy job ever since with humor, fun, and honesty.
