great podcast

Lauren does a great job explaining simple living in an easy understandable way!

Moms Overcoming Overwhelm ,

Finding Joy in Simplicity

Lauren has helped me look at homemaking in a new way. I have wrestled with the idea of being “just” a stay-at-home mom and putting “homemaker” on applications. It’s not a role that is celebrated in our culture and it doesn’t feel like it’s “enough”. But Lauren has reminded me why it’s important and how I can find joy and intentionality in simple acts of service to my family. I appreciate her unique perspective to simple living. Sincerely, Emily

Encouraging & relatable

I’ve been following along for about a year (sorry I didn’t write a review before now!) and it has just helped me refocus on my home and also look to Christ in how I build our home. Thank you for your material! Also, totally do a podcast or YouTube video on your children’s sleep routines and how you structure that. I’m always interested in how moms do things and what I can learn from that.
