My name is Courtney. I have been married to the love of my life for 22 years.
We have 3 kids: Karis- 20, Ethan-18, and Levi-16.
We love our pups, Loki and Woofer.
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 am a 6th grade teacher at a hybrid Christian school, and I am also working on my personal trainer and nutrition coach certifications.
I enjoy the outdoors/nature, cooking and baking, learning about and implementing evidence-based nutrition, moving my body, 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).
