welcome to my world.

Hello world!

My name is Lauren, and I have been branding myself as “The Modern Hippie” for years. As I’ve worn many creative hats in my life, this phrase seems to fit best with my lifestyle. We are a family of four who love good food, good conversation and a good adventure. In a crazy busy, ever-changing world, we’ve come to love the simple life. By simple, I mean breaking things down. Few “things” but nice things. Traveling “small” but going big places. Staying in but dressing up. Small spaces but amazing spaces. Not just good food but incredible food. Healthy but sometimes indulgent. On the dinner table. Every night. Flowers adorn. Music plays. Conversation flows.

This is the way I live my life. The Modern Hippie Way.

It’s in the way I dress, cook, travel, eat, drink, and entertain. It’s in the juxtaposition between old and new, simple and fancy. It’s in every atmosphere I create.

Join me on my journey. Follow along for lifestyle inspiration, tips and ideas as I cook, eat, travel and write.
