Thank you for your videos! I found you on you tube randomly it’s seems like not even a year ago. It was at a point in my life when I needed some encouragement, enlightenment, something. I am 62 and feel much younger than I am. I have two adult children at home who have changed their college studies, and I am really embracing their choices and spending time with them. You remind me of myself when I was younger raising my kids doing all the over and above things for them and over doing the holidays, so much over the top fun decorating and celebrating every holiday. I wouldn’t trade that for the world! Life happened along the way disappointments, happiness, deaths, discouragements, advances, questioning what I was doing. Girl you are working so hard! Kudos to you, it will not return void believe me. You are such a blessing to your family. My kids are 30 and 33 years old and back at home for their career changes which are going to be so great for them. I’m still doing decorating, maybe not so crazy except for Halloween and Christmas lol. They have been expressing to me how much it means to them and how they still love it. Keep on doing you, it’s worth it! Always take care of yourself, I wish I had that advice for my younger self. Your doing it right be proud of yourself you deserve it! Long message but thank you for helping be still remain in my 40s 🥰🙏

Sweet Angel, I’m in my 60’s: 5 kids: 4 girls, 1 boy, my mom advice is what I tell my kids. As tired as you feel get dinner dishes done right after dinner, prep coffee pot and just put a “turn me on sign” 😊 I’m still doin* it as a empty nester; It just adds to a good morning. Also right after dinner I started making sandwiches and packing lunch. Kids can pick out snacks then too. It always made my mornings much more pleasant getting out the door. You’re doing an Amazing job!
God Bless!

I’ve recently been dreading the fact that I am going to go from 2 weekdays all to myself to none due to upcoming schedule changes.
I was wondering how I would work maintain the house, work 10 hour days 5 days a week, and then spend all day Saturday and Sunday parenting without a single day to myself. But seeing you work that much and take the time to do all that you do (home, fitness, makeup, etc) has inspired me. I think that I often greatly underestimate my capabilities. So thank you!

Love these vlog style videos! I am a mom of three girls ages 4, 7 and 9. I am 100% responsible for them all day long so I wake up early to get myself together. Starting at 6:30am it’s all about the kids. They have school 8-2, homework until 4 then I cook dinner while they play together ❤ Bed time 8:00 sharp.

Hey Lauren, I love the fact that U never ever skimp on meals and that's important to remain healthy. The grind is real!

[Clevast]

You make juggling everything look so effortless! How you balance work and family life are truly inspiring. 🤗

[martivasiliades]

Love how well you take care of your family !

[beautybuff]

I am new to the whole food prep thing. Can you tell me why you wet a paper towel and put it into the container of already wet, chopped lettuce?

Also, how long can it all stay wet and sealed in there? I would think mold.

Looking forward to answers. I’d like to get better at this- thank you!

4 kids. All grown now. We eat ice cream for breakfast if we want. Obviously I love my kids more than life but I enjoy a much slower routine now. Every season is different but awesome in its own way.

[daisygirrl]

Hey Lauren! Warm up your half and half in the bottom of your mug in the microwave for 20 seconds before you pour your coffee so your coffee stays hotter and doesn’t get cold fast 😘

[heatherhiggins]

3 kids, I’m a mom of all boys ❤ my 2 oldest 6 & 8 years pack their own lunch the night before as part of an after school chore list. Then all the packed lunch boxes go in the fridge. In the morning I just have to throw ice packs in each lunchbox and put them in their backpacks 🎒 works great!

We’re still getting freezing temps at night here in the mountains of Idaho! The rule is to wait for the snow to melt on a specific peak.. usually after Mother’s Day.

[LifeofAmyJune]

Miss you and love you! You're such an inspiration to have as a friend.

[theloveyourfacegal]

Mm yum I'm eating at Lauren's place when she grills again 😋. Love the shower steamers! Have a great weekend. Going to start garden soon. We had a cold snap last week so just our flowers got set back a little here in dfw Tx. :)😊

[RhoadsOfLife]

Please don’t shame me 😂😂😂
I still make my 21 and 18 yr old lunches!! My son is in auto tech school and my daughter is a senior this year but I still like putting special things in their lunch! I’m going to miss it this will be the last few weeks I get to do it! My daughter is going off to college in the fall 😢

[janisdarnaby]

Love ur videos. Look forward to them always. Why do u pour milk in the bottom of baking pan when baking cinnamon rolls?

[bubbles]

I love watching your videos. Im 62 and find you very inspiring. My hub and I are empty nesters now, we raised 7 kids (yours, mine, ours, and someone elses). Nothing went to waste.
When I used to have chickens, I would throw melon rinds into the coop. They loved them so much, especially watermelon, the cleaned them down to the outside rind. I'm sure it was refreshing during the summer.

Hi Lauren for me being Italian it’s the tomatoes / basil/ onions / parsley / garlic if you chop it all up and roast them all together on a cookie sheet with olive oil you can then cool transfer to blender purée and then I bag it for homemade sauce through the whole winter🥰

[kathleencousins]

Thanks for all your share! So amazing🌟

[martagrigoryan]

Hi Lauren! I love this kind a videos with cooking in the end❤
