Leaves today, gone tomorrow

If seasons teach us anything, and fall most of all, they shows us that life changes, trees and flowers change, and each day is a thing of its own unique beauty. The very beautiful days are the most precious and fleeting gifts, but they’re all gifts, really. Having a...

A Few Children’s Book Treasures For Sharing

A Few Children’s Book Treasures For Sharing

Children’s books can be the most meaningful five minute reads, whether you have a child on your lap, you’re standing alone in the bookstore, or you’re reading to your grandchildren. Sometimes I walk away from a children’s book more inspired than I’ve been in three...

Wear That Crown

Wear That Crown

I was walking my daughter into preschool last week, when a poignant moment happened. The kind where you think you possibly, without malice, somewhat break your child’s little heart. Not a big break, but a small crack. The cracks of real life. Have you ever had that...

My Yoga Journey

My Yoga Journey

Fitness is such a personal journey, and sometimes those journeys are slow and easy in unfolding. It doesn’t always have to be complicated and it doesn’t always have to fit in a box. My relationship with yoga? It’s NOT complicated.  It continues to naturally...

My New Assistant, the Timer

About Me

Hey, I'm Courtney, a pretty ordinary girl who thinks we've all been called to an extraordinary life and love story with God. I'm passionate about family, faith, motherhood, and the adventure of every day. I write lots of words, mostly because I can’t help it- and I think it's one of the things I was born to do. I hope that something I write encourages you, to walk in your own unique purpose and calling, set free to love and give it away, starting wherever you are today. That's what Courting the Extraordinary is all about. Finding the good all around you, and giving it away. Finding, too, the God of all goodness who wants to walk with you. I love quiet mornings, coffee, prayer and “work” before sunrise. Quality time with my family is my jam. I can be found grinning ear to ear when we're out on an adventure. Whether that's in our own backyard or exploring someplace new all-together, I’ll for sure note something beautiful about nature aloud-and maybe repeatedly, ha!. Life is a beautiful, precious gift, and an adventurous path to travel! We might as well learn how to love.
