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. My husband Scott and I live with our kid(s) and two insanely dumb cats in Salt Lake City, Utah.

What We Wore: Kami’s Baby Shower post image
The cute. There is too much. Scott and I ask each other on an almost daily basis where she got it all. Seriously, this parenting thing keeps getting better and better. Harper has gotten to be so much fun – she is more like a little buddy now than this little helpless thing who needs [...]
