I created Caffeinated Life Lessons as a cozy corner of the internet to learn, reflect, bond and keep our humor in the chaos and magic of everyday life.

I’m Lauren—an educator by profession, fun-loving at heart, and a perfectly imperfect mom to two teen girls who keep me humble, inspired, and occasionally questioning everything. As my daughters grow more independent (my oldest is starting college in the fall—wow), I’ve found myself in a season of reflection.

This blog is my creative outlet, a space filled with purpose, growth, humor, and, yes, a few too many cups of coffee… as if there’s such a thing. As you may notice by the blog title, I am a coffee lover in every sense of the word. It’s woven so deeply into my life that I even named my dog after it! Mocha Latte is my fluffy, caffeine-themed sidekick who brings a little extra energy to my days (when he’s not napping, of course).

When I’m not sipping on lattes (or maybe while I’m sipping on lattes), I find myself reflecting on my life, parenting and education today. I find myself wanting to help parents expose their children to essential executive functioning and life skills to help them find success in school and in our ever changing world.
