Courtney’s life is colored by two wonderfully fulfilling pursuits: mothering and writing. As a mother to 4-year-old Avery and 1-year-old Everett, her days are filled with love and laughter as well as tantrums, time-outs and everything in between. She is passionate about sharing not only the wonderful moments of parenting, but also the hard, lonely ones that we can’t see behind the picture-perfect snapshots captured on Facebook and Instagram. It is her hope that having the real conversations about the real struggles going on in each of our hearts and minds helps others to find the freedom to be who they were created to be.
