Who the Heck is This Broad?
I’m your host, Katie Morton. I’m a multimedia professional living in the Washington, D.C. suburbs with my husband Steve and a bun in the oven.

The story of my life is that I’m not as awesome as I could be.  I rush too often, I’m always a pizza (or ten) away from being totally fit and I’m frequently slightly disorganized. I think there are a lot of people out there who can relate, and it’s time to pull together and pursue an easier way to live, make it way more fun and remove the element of stress.

You know how sometimes you look around and wonder why certain people appear so perfectly put together? How they are a picture of perfect health in their perfectly neat jogging suits at some morning hour that you haven’t seen since you pulled an all-nighter in college? Those people that always have a hot meal waiting for their family, even after working all day at their six-figure job? Do you have the urge to clobber those people over the head with the laundry basket of dirty socks you don’t have time to wash?

I’m just as curious as you are about those people. Are they faking it? Are they prisoners of Martha Stewart? Are they alien lifeforms placed on this planet to make you feel bad about yourself? Let’s stop wondering and see if we can’t crack their secrets.

Allow me to introduce Swell Easy Living, Katie’s Stress-Free Guide to Living Swell. By pairing fun stories with ideas for improving our lives and inspirational ways to achieve our goals, Swell Easy Living is a blog that covers the categories of Motivation, Organization, Diet & Fitness, Relationships, and more. From simple big-batch recipes to decluttering, enjoying your loved ones and securing your finances, we’ll explore the means for keeping it all together.

I’m excited to learn along with you in this journey towards living a good life.

I’m currently completing revisions to my debut novel about the quirky life and times of a New York City urban rooftop beekeeper. Kelly and her friends Ginger and Terry all come from unique perspectives and dole out advice in an attempt to help each other along. You’ll cringe along with Kelly as she makes every mistake a younger you has already committed. Kelly fumbles and makes you laugh, but she ultimately learns her way towards her final epiphany. Agent inquiries welcome.
