Hi, I’m Lauren.

Welcome to Our Anchorage House. I live in the Mid-West with my husband, our son, and our two black labs. We are currently on our second adoption journey, which you can follow under the “Adoption” page. I’m a homeschool mom, and I love it but it’s not my whole personality.

This blog has been a bit of a creative outlet after a season of LOTS of transitions. It’s called “Our Anchorage House” because after years of traveling, international living and a global pandemic, a home to anchor our family was exactly what we needed.  A place of belonging to welcome others into and pour ourselves out of.

I love fitness, healthy eating, talking about balanced blood sugar and mental health. I also love DIY, crafts, watercolor painting, gardening and baking. Most of all, I love Jesus and hope to bring Him glory and encourage others with this blog.

Sign up for email updates (over on the right of this page) for weekly or bi-weekly recipes and ideas.

I’m so glad to have you here!

-Lauren
