Simple | Slow | Sustainable

Hi, there

Hi, there, I’m Courtney! I am a thirty something millennial who is leaning into simple, slow, and sustainable living. I am married to my high school sweetheart and together we have a son and a daughter (and a sweet dog!). We live in Iowa in a suburban neighborhood on a quarter acre of land. While it might be a dream of mine to own an acreage with chickens, a cloths line, and a massive garden, I’ve learned that you don’t have to wait for the perfect time and conditions to start living life the way you want to. I believe in living in the gray areas of life. I cook from scratch, but we also eat frozen pizza. My heart is at home and raising kids, but I am also very fulfilled by my work as a pediatric speech-language pathologist. I am an advocate for sustainable living and believe that the most sustainable purchases you can make are the things you’ll use and love for a long time, meaning our home is filled with both the new and the old. All are welcome here and I hope you stick around for all things slow and simple living!
