About
Before becoming a full time mom, I spent years as an editor, freelance writer, sports photographer and in the classroom as a teacher. I knew that writing was important to me even after Emma came along, so I’ve been finding a way to do both for the past 4.5 years. Balancing a writing career and being a full time mom isn’t easy (the mom part often wins).
I’m looking forward to 2018 with a focus on my book for CMC Press on hiking with kids in Utah, mixing family experiences with factual details in writing for websites like parksandpoints.com and (fingers crossed) writing a few more pieces for the washingtonpost.com. When Emma starts school full time in August (sniff), I plan to head back into the classroom as a substitute and hopefully put more writing assignments on my calendar.
Adventure On,
Courtney

An Old Pair of Hanna’s
I am never much of a sentimental person when it comes to things. When my sister passed away suddenly in August 2005, my middle sister wanted so many things of hers while I only wanted a few things I have strong personal memories about. The…
The Season of Giving
A long time back, I did a post with the message that gratitude starts with attitude. At Emma’s age, it is hard to teach about gratitude. Kids at this age are naturally self-centered and sometimes it is hard to break through. Here are two things…
