About Me
Hi, all! I am Courtney, and I am so excited you are joining me on this adventure! As a teacher and mom, I have always found joy in creating experiences for my kiddos that allow them to be curious while having a great time.
I’ve had several ideas for this blog and finally found where I want to be – in the middle. As a mom and educator, I have to find a balance that allows me to be fully who I am – I am in the middle. I want my own children to find educational value in what we do while enjoying being a kid. I want my kids to be curious about the world around them. I want my kids to be kind and learn how to socialize in ways that empower each person they interact with. I want my kids to have fun.
However, to make this happen, I definitely need my coffee! 😊 Being a caregiver is hard work! BUT, when we work together, we can create some amazing opportunities for our kids! Whether you are a parent, teacher, babysitter, grandparent, aunt, uncle, I hope as you are here, you find ideas that make you excited to bring alive these ideas for your own crew.
Let’s get brewing! ☕
