Lauren lives in South Minneapolis. She’s married to Josiah, and they have an extremely energetic and always talking son named Soren. Lauren is a convert from full-time working mama to stay-at-home mama and is constantly learning the balance between being a mom and finding time for herself. She has a passion for people that are honest and real with their life experiences and loves spending time with people in her community. For fun she likes to explore the best pizza locations in Minneapolis, walk the paths around the city lakes, and check out local boutiques. She has plans to slowly take over all closets in their little South Minneapolis home with her ever-growing clothing collection. Follow along with Lauren as she writes on her blog and her day-to-day life in pictures on her Instagram.
