Lauren enjoys learning life's most important lessons from her young son, Jacob. She is an avid home cook, and is always in search of a meal that he will happily eat.

She loves her role as a mom, and when she's not consulting, she is writing about everything she discovers along the way - from recipes, to financial tips, to navigating the emotional insanity that is motherhood.

You can find some of her stories on Mode.com and PJMedia.com/Parenting.
