About Courtney…
I’ve been writing and working in the family lifestyle space for the past 18 years. My career and motherhood journey began in London, where I co-founded a popular parenting website, Babyccino Kids. In addition to my writing here on Substack, I create online courses and eBooks. My husband, Michael, and I have written a book called The Family Home, which will be published later this year by Hardie Grant (we can’t wait to finally share it with you!). We live with our five children in Byron Bay, Australia. What I love most about the work I do is connecting with parents all over the world. Thank you for stopping by -- I hope you’ll subscribe and join the conversations.
Why read?
As a mother of five, I know how challenging it can be to balance the demands of motherhood with everything else that falls onto our plate. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, get stuck in a rut or become uninspired. But the truth is, this is a very special and fleeting chapter in our lives. Before we know it, our kids have grown, left home and we are left craving for a bit of that chaos that feels all consuming now. I want to help you make the most of this time. I hope to enrich everyday family life and make your motherhood journey more fun and fulfilling.
I’ll be sharing inspiration, ideas and encouragement for a more mindful approach to motherhood. We’ll explore how we can be more intentional about how we spend our days with our family, how can we connect with our children and our partners in a more meaningful way, and how we can get back in touch with our own desires, creativity and sense of purpose.
We’ll be exploring themes around mindful mothering, making intentional choices, embracing change, and how we can become unstuck when life feels stagnant or overwhelming. I also hope to share ways to find more joy in the everyday — fun and inspiring stuff like fashion, favourite books, easy recipes, handy tips and great new discoveries. And because Michael and I have just written a book on this topic, I’ll also be sharing tips and ideas for creating a thoughtful, joyful family home.
I’m excited to share and connect with you!
