Who Am I?

  • Hi, I’m Laurie (pronounced Law-ree, not Lori).

     

  • I am married to my soul mate, Rob, who made me fall in love with him while he was playing his guitar.

     

  • I’m a mom to three boys – ages 9, 7, and 4, and one very fluffy cat, Pixie (11 years old).

  • I started homeschooling in Fall 2014.  (Click here for "Why I homeschool" and to take a look at our curricuIum.)  I love it SO MUCH and think it’s just the greatest thing in the world…..90% of the time. The other 10%......I ask myself “What were you thinking?!?!” And I want to give up, hide, and run away.  Luckily, the 90% wins, and we keep on keeping on.

From perfect sunshiny art classes....to my house completely covered in school supplies.

  • My three favorite words are: CREATIVITY, TRANQUILITY, and POSSIBILITY.  That pretty much sums up everything that drives what I do.

     

  • I am an artist.  I love to create. (Click here to see my creations.)  Photoshop is my go-to medium of choice.  I also appreciate Illustrator, and am recently learning how to use traditional mediums, such as paint and canvases. Yay!

     

  • I’ve always loved to write – all kinds of writings – poems, stories, songs, thoughts, feelings…As a little girl, I used to tell myself that I was going to grow up to be a writer more famous than William Shakespeare. : )

LOVE my Cintiq!

LOVE fingerpainting

What Inspires Me

My First book I ever wrote

  • I grew up in Utah, but moved to Connecticut (where my hubby is from) in the year 2000.  I consider both of them home, and wish that I could move them right next to each other.

MY CONNECTICUT FAM

  • My favorite food is chocolate.  If I could eat it for every meal, I would.  I also wish I had a giant, warm chocolate swimming pool.  Ahhhh…..

     

  • I have a small (ok, maybe not so small) obsession with Superman.

     

  • I love to sing.  I think I sing more than I talk.  It makes me happy.

Donuts at Sunset = PERFECTION

I

  • I’m a big believer in nurturing our wellness – physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional.  I am constantly amazed at what our bodies are capable of.

     

  • I love meditation.  It’s my new favorite thing.  (Click here to view my favorite wellness practices).

I've always loved singing

Ahhhhhh.......

  • I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka Mormon).  I love my faith.  I give all glory and thanks to God, my Eternal Father, my creator.  I recognize that all goodness comes from Him, and see His works and miracles surround me each day.  I am forever grateful for my redeemer, Jesus Christ, my perfect example, my hope.  I know that, only through Him, am I able to progress and grow and become the one I am meant to be.  (Click here to read more about what I believe.)

I love our Manhattan Temple

Yay!  We're getting a temple in Hartford!
