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 bestContinue 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,Continue 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. HereContinue 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.  WhileContinue 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 “FourContinue 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 theContinue reading "New Home, New Baby"

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 areContinue 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 pregnanciesContinue 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 theContinue 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 SummerContinue reading "SUMMER FRI-YAYS"
