About
I’m Lauren. A married woman with a beautiful daughter and the most handsomest son. A young crafter and lover of anything wine related. 30 and still trying to figure out a healthy lifestyle instead of diet. I’m here to tell you about my life, being a mama to two littles, raising humans, enjoying life with my husband, being a wifey, all while going to soccer practices, gymnastics, and working a fulltime job! Originally born and raised in Chicago but started a new life in Las Vegas, NV at the age of 10.
I work in sales. I married my high school sweetheart at 22, started dating in 2009 and have been married since 2013!
I’m Italian, Polish, and Cuban and have loved all of the cooking from around the world since I was young. I love to travel and go to new places and try new things! I have a passion for writing and sharing stories and all my favorite things! I have always loved a good challenge and truly enjoy challenging myself and others to be the absolute best version of themselves!
I love being a mommy and balancing this life of motherhood, wife life, and working a 9a-5p. All suggestions are welcomed!
I hope you enjoy our adventure!
Our Story
I have an amazing, smart, gorgeous, sexy, strong, incredible husband named Elio [El-leo]. I wouldn’t choose to spend my life with anybody but him! He takes care of me and our daughter and couldn’t ask him to be a better father.
We met back in 2004, I was a freshman in high school and he was a senior. I was dating a mutal friend of ours and when we would go to parties and he would be there and we would always see each other and kept in touch until I graduated high school in 2008. The January of 2009 we started dating. October of 2010 we bought our first house together and turned it into a home.
May 2012 I planned a Newport Beach vacation for us. It was our time to get away and have a romantic time. May 6th we headed up to Laguna Beach to spend the day there. We walked the beach, had a great lunch and then bar hopped. While walking back to the car the sun was starting to set and I thought it would be a great idea to watch the sun set on the beach. We walked out on theses rocks where a family of crabs we heading to bed in the rocks. As the sun started to set I was turned to my side taking a picture of the cute little creatures and as I turn around Elio was on one knee holding out the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. He then asked me to marry him and of coarse I said YES! 11 months later we were married on April 14, 2013. July 10th we found out we were pregnant! [we had been trying since our honeymoon!] We then welcomed our beautiful daughter Giuliana on Friday, March 7th, 2014. Four years later we decided to skip our “plan” on waiting until she was 5 to try for baby #2, we were then pregnant again! Sadly, we lost our little one at 13 weeks. It was a very tough time for us and decided not to give up! Four months later we found out we were pregnant with our rainbow baby and welcome our son, Lorenzo, into the world on Friday, November 9, 2018!
“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”
