This blog has been a place for me to randomly share my thoughts, mostly as a creative outlet. I have always wanted be more organized with this space but it wasn't until recently that I fully realized my vision for what I wanted it to be: A place for me to journal about our life as a family and to connect with other moms. I guess I always knew the basic vision but for some reason I just couldn't get my act together. I had a difficult time narrowing down my ideas and deciding how I wanted to run a blog. It took some time (years really) but I am ready for this little blog to be what I have always dreamed of.
All that being said, I guess a more formal introduction of our family is in order. Hey there, I'm Courtney! I am a 26 year old mom of three little ones. I love crafting and have about a million ideas floating around in my head at all times. I have an etsy shop (currently on vacation) I will link that to the blog soon. I sell headbands and have big dreams of what my shop could one day become. I love photography, with my kids being my favorite subject, of course. I am married to a great guy named Andrew who I am happy to call my best friend, a true partner in crime (without the crime). We started dating at the end of eighth grade (so crazy) and tied the knot in our sophomore year of college. People thought we were crazy (so young) but we had been dating for six years at that point and we knew that if we weren't sick of each other yet it was a safe bet we could spend the rest of our lives together. It was the easiest and best decision I have ever made. Fast forward six more years and we now have three kids who we love to pieces.
Logan is our oldest and he just had his fifth birthday last weekend. If you are paying attention to the timeline, yes, he was a surprise baby. I found out I was pregnant just four short months after we got married. We were excited but it also changed our plans big time and that was scary, but I will talk about that in another post, back to our boy. His favorite thing to play with is a hanger (like the kind you hang clothing on) and I still can't figure out why, it's hilarious. He's got a great imagination and it so fun to see him use it. He is such an amazing big brother, he always tries to include his siblings in what he is doing and is so forgiving when they mess up.
Charlie is our middle guy, he is a determined and stubborn two year old. He loves being the center of attention and making his siblings laugh. His favorite thing to play with is whatever somebody else is playing with, such a trouble maker. He is impossibly cute and the snuggliest of all our babies.
Gracyn is the baby and Logan has lovingly nicknamed her "little cutie". She is nine months old and has recently figured out the joy of crawling. Her favorite thing to do is (unknowingly) annoy Charlie by following him wherever he goes. She still doesn't sleep all night and she will let you know when she doesn't like something with the most wretched screech in all the land. I love seeing her personality come out a little at a time and I really look forward to figuring out more about her. She's pretty awesome.
So, that's a little bit about us. We are just your normal, everyday family. We are far from perfect but we strive to be better everyday. I look forward to sharing our adventures with you guys!
