About Me

My name is Courtney.  I have been married to the love of my life for 21 years.
We have 3 kids: Karis- 18, Ethan-16, and Levi-14
We love our pup, Loki. He's the bestest boy.
We live on site at a Christian camp in Colorado. We have a simple life, and that has been the best for all of us.

I homeschool my two teenage sons, and my daughter is now in college!

I work part time doing outdoor education and recreation at the camp where we live, and I'm also slowly working on a memoir.

I enjoy the outdoors/nature, cooking and baking, learning about and implementing evidence-based nutrition, moving my body, creating homeschooling units, writing, and reading among many other things.
In creating this blog, I want to make sure that I am honoring who I am, in all my imperfection and knowing that I canNOT do a lot of things that I would love to, and I've decided that I'm okay with that! I also have mental health considerations (this tends to be seasonal).
