The blog formerly known as Roses and Armpits has grown up!

---

If you’ve been a regular reader of rosesandarmpits.com, then you know that this blog was originally created back when my boys were very young and the focus was on all things parenting (read my very first post here). But the kids have grown up, I’ve grown up, and now it’s time for the blog to grow up, too. 

This newest installment of the blog, renamed, Lauren in Charge: Diary of a Midlife Mom with Moxie and Muscle, is about navigating this next phase of life boldly and confidently, with grace and wit. I’ll offer relatable stories and unsolicited advice about family, relationships, health, and even past traumas with the same wry humor and New York candor that you’ve come to know and love. Be prepared for real talk about all things midlife — from simultaneously managing teenage moodiness and menopausal mood swings to navigating adult friendships, aging parents, and chronic illness. I hope sharing my stories, tips, and tricks will inspire others and provide both connection and community — with a much needed laugh along the way. 

I may not have all the answers, but I do have experience, spunk, and a propensity to overshare.What more can I say? Scroll down to subscribe and check it out today!
