Courtenay

Hey there 2008! My name is Courtenay “Danger” Kasper. I’m a stay at home Mom/Student. I’m taking the Online Speech Language Pathologist Program from Grant MacEwan. My husband and I are the Youth Pastors at the the Youth Church in the 108. I’m a drummer, a blogger, a chef, a housewife, a tech nerd, and I love reading.
My blog has changed names twice. From “8minutes” to “Courtenary Quite Contrary”, but I imagine it will change just about as often as my high school rock band’s name changed.
I mostly write about my daughter Emily and her crazy toddler antics, but I set a few goals for the year and try to accomplish them, so thats in there to. I write all the funny things that happen in my day to day life so if I ever decide to actually write a book I’ll have something to look back on and remember.

This year I have 3 new goals. Last years last years goal completion blog is here.

I am going to curb my emotional eating. I lost a fair bit last year, but I have a long ways to go. I am learning to eat right and cook right and not stuff my face when I am happy, sad, excited, bored, anytime I see food.

I am going balance studying and being a mom: I am not willing to compromise Emily’s fun and Mommy time, but I need to be a good student too. I’m planning on making the time for both.

I am joining the ranks of the FlyLady/Saving Dinner crowd. I got a subscription to meal planning for a year and I signed up for the FlyLady newsletters. My goal is to keep my house de-cluttered and de-stressed. AND to make healthy meals for my fam. It’s a lofty task, but I think I can kick this Goliaths butt.
