About Blogger Behind The Family Dugout
Hello, I’m Lauren. Single auntie raising my super cool niece, and yes, I live with my parents—and it’s by choice. Honestly, I like them! They’re like cool roommates, and we’ve become a bit of a team over the years. My dad was diagnosed with ALS a few years ago, so being here allows me to help out however I can. It’s a team effort rooted in love, patience, and a whole lot of grace. Technically, I’m a homeowner, but I rent out my house so I can be here with my folks.
When I’m not working my full-time job at my niece’s Christian school, you’ll probably find me elbow-deep in the garden, experimenting with some odd fermentation project, cooking from scratch, or dreaming up our next affordable adventure. I love finding creative ways to stretch a dollar and make life beautiful without breaking the bank.
Faith is the foundation of everything I do. My Bible is my daily guide, and God’s promises are what carry me through this messy, beautiful chaos called life.
Oh—and I love a good sweepstakes and play the lottery every week. Because hey, you never know!
