Hi! Welcome to my blog! I’m Lauren, a mom who is passionate about her family, loves to write, read and make her home the best it can be. I live in the Princeton, NJ, area, which is about an hour from Philadelphia and New York City, so there is lots here to keep a mom busy!
My home’s living room, which I love decorating for the seasons and holidays!
I love writing about my home and family and like to try out new products for my house and kids! I’ve worked on staff (as an editor, blogger and writer) at places like The Wall Street Journal and Soap Opera Digest, but I’ve since traded fancy NYC digs for my NJ home office, where I write about things that I am passionate about – home décor, DIY projects and being a mom –which is my favorite “job” of all!
I am obsessed with home improvement, and try to improve my home as much as I can on a limited budget. Over the past several months, I’ve taken on many DIY and organizational projects to improve the look and feel of my house!

I am especially aware of the challenges a mom faces in trying to make a home both beautiful and family friendly!

I am a team player and love to work with other bloggers!
I especially love to read other mom blogs – so if you are a mom with a blog, please share your site with me. I’d love to stop by and give it a read! If you like what you see, please feel free to follow me! You can find me at:

I absolutely love your “unfinished basement” makeover! Amazing what paint, stain, and an area rug can do. We have a similar basement to redo and will pattern it after yours. The hanging lamp makes it look homey and finished. Pinterest has provided us ideas for screens to block off the laundry area instead of making expensive partitions and doors. I get so tired of looking at the magazine makeovers that cost $thousands. Not all of us can afford that and have to make do with what we have. Thanks for the ideas!
Hi, Michelle! I wish the makeover was mine — it’s really a pin from Pinterest. I want my basement to look like that!!
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website
yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to create my own blog and would like to know where u got this from.
thank you

Lauren, hi how are you? I couldn’t find anywhere to leave a comment on your pretty yellow table. It is beautiful and thank you so much for linking up to our Something to Talk About Link Party and I hope you join us again tomorrow morning at 6 am est (or when you’re up and have had coffee..lol). Have a great week, Lisa at Concord Cottage
Thanks so much, Lisa! I will be sure to stop by tomorrow!
Just signed up for your mailing list. Yay! 🙂
Thanks, Tee! I’ve signed up for yours, too! 🙂
This holiday season I’m reading everyone’s about pages. It’s nice to know a little bit more about you, Lauren! Stop by the Little Cottage Link Party on Mondays at 9 am and share that wood slice snowflake.
Thanks, Kristie! I will have to stop by your Little Cottage Link party – and your about page. Thank you for stopping by!
