Featured Blog: La Fille Americaine

Bonjour! I'm Courtney from La Fille Américaine (The American Girl), where I blog to help young people live the life of their dreams! La Fille Américaine isn't just about my life as an American girl, but about every girl who wishes to live fully!

My mom and me!

After graduating from college I moved to Paris for a year to teach English at an Elementary school. Spending a year in a foreign country made me feel invincible. When I moved home to Michigan, I felt depressed about the fact that my friends and family hadn't changed. Their lives seemed so safe! I wanted to inspire them to make a change and take risks, but knew that the only way to do so was to lead by example. I launched an inspiring blog and moved back to Paris in May 2011!

You can read about my first year in Paris here.

I enjoy using my own stories to motivate and inspire others to live their best possible life. Helping people become happier is my life's purpose.

New Website : come say Hi!

I think the last time we posted we said we were working on some things and left y'all hanging.....sorry! I bet you are all doing well, still blogging and I'm definitely interested in hearing from you. With so many working mama's, from home to side hustles, I decided that I would make coffee addict mama somewhat similar to FTLOB! If you're free to come check it out, comment and say HI! I'd love to pick up from where we left off. XOXO

I'm personally a really picky picture taker, so I tend to throw out a few of my shots and when I'm bored, I grab the camera and take some photos of anything around me. The thing that sucks about me, is that I don't really know how to teach someone how to take pics, so share that for me please!!!! 2.) What I Wore. Hellooooooo!! Fashion is the way to go when you have no clue what to post about. If you don't normally get dressed to post, then this is a really fun activity for you and for everyone reading. Gather your outfit and go on a photo shoot. Grab a friend to take your pics for you and pose. Pose away, have fun and then share it!!! 3.) Food. It's the obvious when there is nothing else on your min...
