Hi, I’m Courtney.
I’m a mom, I’m from Chicago, and I’ve been blogging for about five years now. This site is where I put the stuff I actually care about — recipes I make at home, travel, DIY and crafts, and yeah, a fair amount of Disney.
I studied at Northwestern, then went to journalism school at Mizzou, which is a long way of saying I like telling stories, and I finally found a place to do it.
There are a lot of kids in my life — my own plus a pile of nieces and nephews — so a good chunk of what’s here is family stuff: keeping them entertained, the chaos of parenting, all of it.
That’s pretty much it. Look around, and if something resonates or you’ve got a question, send me a note. I read them.
Thanks for stopping by.
