Karen has been married for over a quarter-century to her college sweetheart Todd and is the mom of six--three bio kids and their spouses by marriage, although she forgets which are which. She is also Grandma Kit to the adorable Jasper Ridge. She resides in central Michigan where she enjoys collecting vintage Pyrex dishes, strolling area farm markets, and processing life with all who gather around her mid-century dining room table for a taste of Mama Karen's county fair, blue ribbon-winning cooking.

Her greatest desire is to help women to live their priorities and love their lives, reflecting the gospel as they do.
