How this site was created

In 2007, I graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. The next month, I began working at Primary Children’s Hospital in the Emergency Department and I absolutely fell in love with being a trauma nurse.

When my dream of becoming a LifeFlight nurse fizzled (my husband and son understandably vetoed that dream after several high profile helicopter crashes), I turned back to my childhood love of writing.

I started blogging in 2013 under the moniker ProteanMom. After one too many questions wondering why I love protein so much, I knew the pseudonym had to go.

In 2017, I founded KimberlyCStarr.com to write about all the things that I love – and to share my stories and knowledge with the world.

I’m a ginger who loves reading, eating, being a nurse, spending time with my family, and writing about it all. I believe humor is the best medicine, followed very closely by chocolate and tacos.

Short Byline: Kimberly C. Starr is a writer, ginger, a pediatric ER nurse, a wife, and a mom to four. She writes about all of the things because humor really is the best medicine.

On a Personal Note…

I live in Kaysville, Utah. I have an amazingly supportive husband who manages my behind-the-scenes tech support to make writing and publishing possible. We have 4 amazing children, a dog, a cat, 6 chickens, and plans for more animals in our backyard homestead.

Here are 10 fun facts to help you get to know me better:

  1. I’m a ginger, a nurse, a mom, a blogger, an entrepreneur, and a whole lotta other things. Basically, I don’t like sitting still unless I’m reading or too exhausted to do otherwise.
  2. I’m a Christian. I love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
  3. I’m married to the perfect guy for me… but I don’t talk too much about him on here because he’s introverted and fairly shy. That and he asked me not to.
  4. We’ve got 4 amazing kids – 3 boys and our youngest is a little girl. She’s equal parts spoiled, protected, and able to hold her own with her rowdy, snuggly brothers.
  5. I’m from Arizona. You’d think I’d be tanner, but… I’m a ginger.
  6. I love watching British shows, which is probably why I refer to myself as a “ginger” rather than a “redhead”. Well, that and my head isn’t red. It’s pasty-pale white… because I’m a ginger.
  7. I’ve got two brothers with the same first name… for reals. You see, I’m from a yours-mine-and-ours family, so I’ve got 5 amazing siblings.
  8. I worked for almost 8 years as a pediatric trauma nurse in a Level 1 Trauma Center Emergency Department. Best job ever! It was great training for having 4 kids. And yes, I miss it.
  9. I’m an avid reader and writer. I’ve got plans and outlines for new posts and new stories that need to be told. I love world-building for my sci-fi and fantasy stories, too!
  10. My life philosophy comes from Finding Nemo: “Just keep swimming.”
