I can't believe a whole year has passed and I never wrote about my birth story! I am very thankful to say that I had a positive birth experience and that this past year has been the most beautiful year. My birth story really is just a story and nothing fun to look at...

We have had all of the blinds in our house since we moved in...and who knows how long they were in this house before that! They are old and discolored and are all in need of a major refresh but the cost just hasn't been in the budget. We decided that when we were...

If you didn't know, I had 2 ovarian torsions during my pregnancy with Graham. With each ovarian torsion, I had surgery. I should have written things down right away to remember everything exactly but I didn't. It was very jarring both times and mentally exhausting. I...

With Christmas days away, I wanted to share some fun, easy cocktails to make for your gatherings! A bonus is that these can easily be made into mocktails too. There are no difficult, fancy recipes here, but they’ll LOOK fancy and that’s really the main goal,...

If you follow my Instagram accounts (@lifewithlaurenb and @lovegrace_calligraphy) you would know that I recently painted some canvases to hang in our hall bathroom. I've had a vision to paint some canvases and switch them out throughout the year based on the season...
