Learning to drive is one of those times when I look back and feel so badly for my parents. To be fair, I feel badly for me too. Things got off on the wrong foot with driving school. There’s no pun intended here on “wrong foot” even though I am a lefty, and lefties areContinueContinue reading “Learning to Drive”

Labor Day was celebrated not too long ago, and I can’t help but wish it was my Labor Day. For those who didn’t read my recent blog about pregnancy brain, I’m expecting and hopefully due any day now.  As I inch towards my due date, I’m reflecting on how different my first and second pregnanciesContinueContinue reading “A Tale of Two Pregnancies”

Sure. Pregnancy is a beautiful time in a woman’s wife. However, research shows that our brains change and function differently during this time. The commonly used “pregnancy brain” expression is something I fully related to.   As I count down my final weeks of pregnancy to my second child’s birth, I laugh at many of theContinueContinue reading “Pregnancy Brain is Real”

“Friday isn’t just my favorite day, it’s my favorite word.” And so, my Innovation Week presentation began at Vectorworks, Inc. when I was nine months pregnant in May 2018. While most of my colleagues prepared techy “Shark Tank” presentations to better our design and BIM software for our customers, I spearheaded an effort to get SummerContinueContinue reading “SUMMER FRI-YAYS”

Recently, we celebrated my daughter, Charlotte’s second birthday. And, while it was four days of festivities (that lucky toddler!), I couldn’t help reflecting upon how different it was from her first birthday. Looking back on June 2019, those non-pandemic days were still crazy. I had a work conference and bachelorette party the week before Charlotte’sContinueContinue reading “Lauren’s Law: Birthday Edition”

As an Annapolis resident, I’m afraid to admit this. I haven’t always been an animal person. I’m told that I was fond of our family Lizard, Sammy. In fact, my middle name used to be Elizabeth, so it’s likely how my childhood nickname of Lizard came to be. Later, when I was in fourth grade, itContinueContinue reading “Lauren’s Law: Animal Tales”

While everyone around the world is bragging about their organized closets, my toddler is ransacking every single closet in our home. My husband, Scott, and I have both been working from home without childcare for several weeks during the COVID-19 pandemic. There’s one word to describe our status. Bananas. Our life is B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Thankfully, myContinueContinue reading “This Life is Bananas”

With everything going on in the world today ––I’m looking at you Coronavirus (COVID-19) ––it’s been tougher to find my usual humor in life. However, there’s never been a greater need to do just that. For the past several months, my husband and I have been in search of a single family home with hopesContinueContinue reading “Lauren’s Law: Home Edition”

We all know the obnoxious retort after a poorly told story: “And then you found $1,000.” What about when you start a story with that retort… and it’s true? It was spring of 2011, and the night began with my sister, Kristen and myself as two crazy girls about town in Canton. By crazy, IContinueContinue reading “Lauren’s Law: When Life Gives You a Grand”

Whenever I need a giggle, I know where to go. It’s my iPhone Notes app. I flip through my current 56 notes and find my “Lauren’s Law” note. What’s held me back from writing more frequently is that so many of my best Lauren’s Law stories are short, quick laughs. So, without further ado, I’llContinueContinue reading “Lauren’s Law Snippets”
