Hi! I'm Lauren: college-educated mom to Harper (and soon-to-be Ezra!) who gave up career life to sew, knit, sing nursery rhymes and watch Yo Gabba Gabba a dozen times a day. Most days, I love it.

They are turning out really stinking cute, and I’m super excited. Harper wore one of the prototypes [...]
We FINALLY got a decent amount of snow yesterday, so when we drove by the neighborhood sledding hill today, we knew we had to go. We quickly ate our B&D Burgers (our Sunday family tradition), headed home to put Harper in her Santa suit, and went to Liberty Park for the fun to begin. Scott [...]
