Lauren
Hey y’all! I’m Lauren and it’s so nice to meet you! I’m married to my college sweetheart and am a mama to four precious children. Three of my children are here with me and one is in Heaven. Our second child passed away shortly after birth. My husband, Tommy, and I have adopted two girls out of foster care, and we are constantly learning how to be the best parents to all of our kids with their special needs. About a year after our son passed away, I launched Project Gabriel in honor of our son to reach women who had also lost a baby. In my free time, I love cheering on the Tennessee Vols, expressing my love of Tennessee falls, being outside, blogging, and wearing boots. I blog at Adventures of Jack and Me. Also check out my organization Project Gabriel.

An Ode to Summer
I used to hate summer. Of the four seasons, it ranked solidly a four out of four. I prefer cold over hot. I’m pale and burn easily. I have a propensity for sweating that...
Summer Is Here
We made it! Another year of school completed, and this one the most challenging by far. It deserves all of the celebrations and we probably all need all the decompressing now that it has...
