Katie Biddle

Katie grew up in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania before heading to college in the Philadelphia area. She earned a degree in Accounting but after a very brief stint in public accounting, tossed her Judy’s Tenkey and joined a service program teaching 2nd grade in Washington, D.C. She fell in love with teaching and never looked back. She taught everything from 2nd grade to high school seniors during her 9-year teaching career. Katie met her husband during their early teaching days but it wasn’t until a few years later while they were catching up over a cup of coffee in Baltimore that they realized it was something more than friendship. The math teacher (Katie) and the Physicist (her husband) were engaged on the Most Epic Pi Day of Our Lifetime (3-14-15) and were married a year later. They moved to Boston in 2016 when her husband accepted a job in Longwood. Katie taught nearby in Mission Hill until May 2017 when she stepped out of the classroom to stay home with her favorite student yet: her now 2-year-old son. She works part-time at a Pregnancy Center near their home in Brighton. She loves coffee, baking gluten-free (out of necessity, not preference) treats that actually taste good, writing about food allergies, and running (when it’s actually warm in Boston)

Holidays and Food Allergies :: Boston’s 6 Best Allergy-Friendly Bakeries

There is something truly magical about gathering around the table with family and friends to share a meal. Of course, these holiday meals can also be a source of stress, especially if you are the one hosting. If you are welcoming holiday guests into your home this year, chances are at least one of your friends or family members will have some food allergies. How can you make sure everyone feels welcome at your table… without also stressing yourself out?

Saturday Morning Doughnut Dates

Contrary to what Instagram would have you believe, you don’t have to plan elaborate family outings to create cherished memories. Sometimes it’s as simple as a doughnut and a hot cup of coffee with the people you love most.

What Food Allergy Moms Want You to Know

You know one of your son’s friends can’t eat gluten, dairy, or peanuts, so you buy a box of gluten-free brownie mix. You prepare it according to the ‘dairy alternative’ recipe. But there’s a problem. That sponge you used to wash the mixing bowl? It cleaned peanut butter off a breakfast plate this morning. That wooden spoon you used to mix the batter? It mixed wheat flour last night and might have small traces of gluten (even after washing). Yes, some kids are that sensitive.

Traveling with Toddlers :: Can We Talk About the Good Stuff Too?

I know our son won’t remember our travels from these early days of his life. I do hope that maybe these experiences in some way help him internalize that the world is so much more than our street here in Boston. Even if it doesn’t do that for him quite yet, it is good for me to remember that there is life outside nap schedules and ‘Daniel Tiger.’
