One time I drove from DC to Baltimore and ended up back in DC. Just in time for rush hour. That beltway really is a loop, huh? To say I lack a keen sense of direction is an understatement. Sure, I’ve notoriously gotten lost while driving over the years, but it’s bigger than that. SometimesContinueContinue reading “A Unique Sense Of Direction”

As Thanksgiving travel ramps up, it makes me think of all the poor families traveling with a baby for the first time. Let’s just say, long gone are the days of a small suitcase and purse for a quick getaway. Even a short trip with a baby can mean a lot of well – baggage!ContinueContinue reading “TIPS FOR TRAVELING WITH A BABY”

The irony of my blog’s name or the title of this blog is not lost on my semi-recent visit to the Annapolis District Court. No, I’m not a lawyer, and I’m not here to offer legal advice. I know where your mind is headed next: is Lauren in legal trouble? Also, no. Almost a yearContinueContinue reading “LAUREN GOES TO COURT”

I could get lost in the quiet aisles and the ability to borrow endless stacks of books has never lost its allure. Don’t worry, I don’t discriminate from bookContinueContinue reading “Mark Your Calendar: Children’s Book Fundraiser on 3/1”

Let me tell you about that time I thought my husband was going to dump me, or frankly probably should have dumped me. It was four years ago. Scott and I had only been dating for a few months, when my friends planned a ski trip to Wisp Ski Resort in Western Maryland. I hadContinueContinue reading “To Ski or Not to Ski?”

I’ve wanted to create this blog for many years now. Besides the obvious reasons of putting it off, thinking I’m too busy or the fear of putting myself out there in a vulnerable way, there’s one fundamental reason that delayed me. The hardest question I’ve ever been asked is “What’s your name?” I know, crazy,ContinueContinue reading “That’s Not My Name”
