October is National Orthodontic Health Month, a time dedicated to celebrating healthy smiles, learning about orthodontic treatment and promoting good oral health. I’m sure you all celebrate annually. Unfortunately, I personally celebrated for five years in a row with various forms of metal in my mouth.  A rare braces sighting of me in seventh grade,ContinueContinue reading “October is for Orthodontia Memories”

Can you feel it? The slow, creeping feeling of fall. To many, the start of this cozy season means Pumpkin Spice Lattes, dressing in scarves, boots or flannel, apple picking and watching lots of football. That last item — football — has me reminiscing about one of my favorite college memories.  It was my Junior year at the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) and following the coatContinueContinue reading “Is Fall the New RV Season?”

These days, I’m spending a significant amount of time playing with toy musical instruments, thanks to my young daughters. Xylophone, tambourine, maracas, drums, you name it. It has me reliving my musical moments of my childhood — many of which have laughable incidents. Piano My musical journey begins with the piano, and I’m still surprisedContinueContinue reading “Lauren’s Law: Music Edition”

It was the third time I messed up instant mashed potatoes when I reflected on my horrific culinary skills. How does one mess up instant mashed potatoes? Well, it’s miscounting the cups of water or forgetting that the family-sized pack requires double the water.  Yes, it’s understandable for us all to be on autopilot when cooking.ContinueContinue reading “Culinary Mishaps à la Lauren’s Law”

It was the first spontaneous get together with my sister when we were both fully vaccinated. This called for sparkling rosé and an unhealthy appetizer. I decided on the tried and true stand by: Spinach & Artichoke dip. A classic recipe passed down from my mom and now poorly written on an index card.  The bestContinueContinue reading “Does Spinach & Artichoke Dip Really Need Spinach & Artichokes?”

First vacation in two years. Second vacation in four years. The math doesn’t seem right, but with a pandemic and starting a family, it sadly adds up.  Last week, my husband, mother-in-law, two-year-old daughter and seven-month-old daughter drove to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. At some point during the combined 24 hours round trip,ContinueContinue reading “Vacation Going in Your 20s vs. 30s”

By now, everyone has heard former Severna Park High School field hockey coach Lillian “Lil” Shelton —who passed away on January 24 at the age of 90 — won 31 county titles, 29 regional titles and 20 state championships. However, Shelton was so much more than the winningest high school coach in the state of Maryland’s history. HereContinueContinue reading “Beyond the Numbers: Remembering Coach Shelton”

Despite my best efforts, I’m no Cupid. Valentine’s Day is even my favorite holiday. I was hooked from the homemade mailboxes in elementary school, followed by the cards and candy. Mainly the candy. And over the years, I’ve come to love the annual romantic comedy aka Rom Com release around my beloved holiday too.  WhileContinueContinue reading “Matchmaking: Lauren Law’s Style”

In addition to offering the obvious physical benefits, sports can foster confidence, leadership skills and long-lasting friendships. I’m fortunate to have many unforgettable athletic moments including: winning championships, three stints as a captain, a Division I lacrosse scholarship and setting swim records. There’s also my personal favorite of receiving an award for being a “FourContinueContinue reading “Lauren’s Law: Sports Edition”

I’m back. In Severna Park that is!  This past October, I took the saying “new home, new baby” as literal as one could. My husband and I had an offer accepted on a new house hours before our second daughter, Riley, was born.  Let me rewind a little. When I last left you on theContinueContinue reading “New Home, New Baby”
