Balloons for Nicholas

May 23, 2014 By Lauren

Nicholas' balloons

On Tuesday morning I asked the question: What can I do? I’ve been following the journey of the Sauer family as their son, Ben, battled a brain tumor. His time on Earth ended last week and it left me wondering how I could honor him and his family. I knew I couldn’t necessarily do anything […]

Random thought Thursday: Third edition (Music!!)

May 1, 2014 By Lauren

random thought thursday

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but everything reminds me of a song. Everything. Say a word and I will think of a song for it. My sister and I actually made it into a game when we were younger. We’d give the other person a word and they had to think of a song […]

They told me it was gas (or Why I always have shaved armpits): Part 2

April 10, 2014 By Lauren

You can find Part 1 here. After getting checked in and triaged, we began to wait. And wait. And wait. To this day I am thankful for the three friends who sat with me hour upon hour. You’ve never seen four happier people in an ER waiting room before. We were chatting and laughing and […]

Small and insignificant is no way to live- My messy beautiful

April 6, 2014 By Lauren

How would you describe yourself? I’ve always hated that question because I’ve never known how to answer it. I’m a stay at home mom. I’m tall. I’m an introvert. These are all true and all a part of it, but do they really describe me?  If I’m honest, the word that always pops into my […]
