So it's no surprise that she wants to share her gardening, food, and craft ideas with you, as well as some great local finds. As a first-time homeowner with her fiancé, Mark, and dog, King, she certainly has plenty of ideas to share as she turns their house into a home. Lauren can also be found blogging at Laurealism.com about her life and the things that make her world go 'round. Contact Lauren via email or follow her on Twitter: @Laurealism.
