Hi, everyone!

I’m Kate, founder of Birdie Hill.  My husband (and blog contributor) is Brian, and we have one crazy cutie named Charlotte and another little girl on the way.  I’ll always be a Hoosier deep down, which is where I grew up, but my heart is here in Pittsburgh,  where our family has planted our roots.  

A graduate of Indiana University at Bloomington, I began my professional career in Minneapolis with Target Corporation. I later discovered my love for baby and kids gear during my time in Atlanta, where I worked for the Graco, Teutonia and Aprica brands for five years.  Then after moving back north, I spent three exciting years at 4moms in charge of the brand’s social media, community building, and public relations efforts.  After so many experiences with these fabulous brands, my love of all things “baby” was cemented and I’ve taken the opportunity to stay at home with Charlotte, prepare for our new little one, and work a little more broadly.

I gave you this admittedly lengthy rundown to help explain: I really do know what I’m talking about when it comes to advice on preparing for a new babe.  I know that, as exciting as pregnancy is, it can also be really overwhelming - and we’re hoping to help with that.  Our goal at Birdie Hill is to simplify the world of choices and help you feel confident that you’re “ready” for baby…  Well, as ready as you’re going to be! ;)
