Hey all,
I wanted to pop in here with a quick pre-Thanksgiving post to tell you all THANK YOU!!
In October, I celebrated my 8th anniversary of Lauren’s Latest! Isn’t that so crazy?!
In these past eight years, I:
- had two more babies
- put my husband through grad school
- moved seven times across three different states and
- somehow managed to post 1300+ recipes amongst the insanity that is my life.
Whether you’re new to Lauren’s Latest or have been around since the beginning, thank you for being wonderful and positive and supportive of me and my family. We read every comment, every email, every Instagram message and appreciate it all.
And for those of you that are bound to ask about my outfit, my coat and earrings are from stitch fix, old scarf from target (similar here), favorite jeans here, and tieks. Newest tinted lip balm obsession with this color. (I strongly dislike lipstick!)
That’s it 🙂 Have a wonderful day!
And don’t forget to find me on Instagram Stories for more NYC fun in real time.

I still cannot believe I haven’t left a comment on it earlier. Since you post it last August, this post have been my inspiration. Thanks for sharing part of your life with us and all of your really nice recipe! I can’t wait to see your christmas magazine and hopefully, your first cooking book release. I hope to have the opportunity to keep reading you for many years to come! ???? Congrats on your 8 years of blogging, 10 years of wedding anniversary and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
