Rhubarb, such a funny word, red celery pie. My Mom bought one accidentally from the neighborhood bakery, it had a top crust, and she thought it was cherry. I liked the pie, but I was the only one in the family to like it, good, more for me.

You haven't failed. As long as you enjoy what you do that is success. Lauren and the Looks is a huge achievement. Also enjoying the baking on a Friday

Watching your video has not only inspired my reading selections but reawakened my joy of cooking and cookbooks. I think a goal can be achieved double-edged sword, in that it can get you on track but also it also makes you feel badly if you don’t reach that goal. The journey is far more important than the destination. We cannot plan everything because life will always bring along the unexpected. You have a fabulous attitude and a ready smile, and you are on your own wonderful journey! P.S. I have the same green clean book on my shelf - now if only I read it 😂

I’ve got into cleaning over the last month thanks to you!! I’m really enjoying it, love the Sweepy app. I’m aware I’m not using very eco friendly products at the moment but I think I’ll try and do that once I know I’ve really got the habit going.

I'm on week 4 of couch to 5k right now. I remember how proud you were of yourself the first time you completed it. You can definitely do it again.

You’ve got me back into cross stitch ❤

[@Mystikk89]

Beautiful, home-made presents are the best ❤❤❤

[@KijkNaarHaar]

Would love to see the Instagram photos added as shorts or something. No longer used Instagram (attempt to reduce my doom scrolling) but means I miss out on all the good stuff you are no doubt posting.

Lauren, where did you get your beautiful dress/top from? I love the floral details 😻

[@beeheart6529]

I saw your Instagram post where you played a song by the B-52’s! I live in Georgia where they are from. I love that song! Loved the outfit too!

[@winesaboutbooks]

You're killing the cross stitch game!!!

[@martha7157]

It made me laugh because I’m currently cross stitching a gift for my brothers birthday 😂

One can certainly look at clothes & the purchasing of new items in view of 'cost per wear' ... if you spend 300 quid on a winter coat & keep it for at least 3 years that is 100 quid a year for an item you wear most days say Nov, Dec, Jan & Feb approx 120 days - 83p a wear, if you spend that 300 quid on a fancy going out to dinner frock how often will you wear it? 6x a year? which brings the cost per wear for it to 50 quid ...

I enjoyed this having my lunch today.☺️ ✨ Just wanted to ask if you or David have watched Severance on Apple? I'm rewatching it - it's EXCELLENT and actually Jen recommended it and S2 is coming in January.
