AFFILIATE  DISCLOSURE
 

I Crave A Simple Life contains Affiliate links in the form of Banner Ads and Text Links. We may receive compensation on sales via the links to our vendor partners and sponsors. I may receive monetary or other types of compensation for my endorsement, recommendation, and/or link to any products from this blog.

I'm Laura, a mother, wife, teacher, entrepreneur, nature-lover, and dreamer. I crave a simple life, surrounded with family, friends, animals, pure and natural things. This page is a place for me to pause amongst the chaos of our busy life, and re-connect to my desire for simplicity. It's a place to document my thoughts, feelings, and all the happenings as I grow more laugh lines and build more character.

I have two beautiful, creative, wild little boys -- my wolf, Luke (10), and my fox, Lochlan (8). They are my biggest motivators, to make me a better me. They keep me grounded and focused on the important things in life. Mitch is the love of my life. Together for 19 years and married for 14, he is my best friend, business partner, and biggest supporter. I fall deeper in love with him each day.
