About the Author

Courtney and Michael Adamo are parents of five children, ranging from school-aged to young adults, and experts in family life. Born in the US, they moved to London as a new couple in 2003 and lived there for 12 years before travelling the world with their young family and settling in Byron Bay, Australia.

Courtney was the co-founder of Babyccino Kids, one of the first family lifestyle and parenting blogs in the UK. As Babyccino's audience and engagement grew, Courtney learned what mothers from around the UK, US and Europe found rewarding, challenging, perplexing and comforting, and created resources to respond to these needs.

Courtney has since created online courses, e-books and a membership program that allows her to connect with parents from all over the world by sharing a look inside her home, teaching the principles that guided her and Michael in raising their kids, and tips for creating a happy, comfortable and stylish family home.
