Welcome!

Hi there! I’m Lauren — the voice behind Lake Shore Lady, a blog I’ve been writing for nearly 13 years.

Earlier this year, I embraced a new chapter by becoming a first-time mom at 37. Motherhood has been a transformative journey, and I’ve found myself wanting a space to share more with you — and this Substack is that space. A cozy corner for candid conversations, personal reflections, and fun suggestions.

If you're interested in parenting, sale alerts, book recommendations, TV shows, real-life moments, and honest chats about what's on my mind, you’ll feel right at home here.

What You’ll Get

Whether you choose the free or paid subscription, there's something here for you:

Free subscribers receive:

• A weekly newsletter delivered straight to your inbox, discussing what I’m reading, watching, shopping for, and loving.

• Occasional sale alerts and crowd-sourced lists.

• Realistic dinner ideas we've tried and enjoyed.

Paid subscribers gain access to:

• My Postpartum Meal Prep PDF.

• Exclusive recipes not shared elsewhere.

• Personal motherhood updates and reflections.

• Exclusive Q&As and content you won't find on my other platforms.

I'm thrilled to have you here and look forward to sharing this journey with you!
