for women who light a candle, pour a glass of wine, and Google why their tomatoes are dying

Songs, recipes, and whatever's growing in my garden.

Hi, I'm Lauren. I sing the theme for Leanne on Netflix and write songs you’ve heard in your favorite TV shows, movies, and for artists like Keb' Mo'.

Behind the scenes, I’m growing things in my garden that probably shouldn't survive, raising a son who knows how to say please and thank you, and I make a killer pork chop recipe (according to my husband).

I'm a girl's girl just trying to make my house feel like a home. Come on in.
