The Carter LoDown

Backyard Farming & Life Musings

My name is Lauren, and I am so glad you have stopped by. I have always loved writing, so much so that I have actually kept all my journals—even the embarrassing ones from middle school.

There is something about documenting moments in your life that you can reflect on. Expect the LoDown on all things backyard farming, home remodeling, and life happenings while keeping it real, one authentic post at a time. 

Come along and subscribe to get the Lo-Down. xoxo
