Most people write blogs because they have some claim to authority on a particular subject. I make no such claim. I’m just living life as a full-time amateur in Minneapolis working at a PR agency, baking and taking pictures.
Because I have no real expertise in baking or photography, I hope that blogging about my attempts at imitating beautiful things will provide you with a few neat recipes and a glimpse of glory on occasion.
But more than that, I hope that you see me for who I am–a person filled with imperfection and failure–and the grace of a God who loves me even in my weakness.
These are my pipe dreams.

Lauren, I was home sick wanting to find some new blogs and fell upon yours. I’m so glad that I did. Your photography is beautiful; how long have you been shooting?
