Your new favorite recipes from our family to yours

Meet the author

Welcome! Lauren Ashley!

I am saved by Jesus—wife, mom, writer, accidental entrepreneur, and the voice behind Everything Starts With Mom. I definitely don’t have motherhood all figured out, but I love sharing what I’m learning along the way—from the toddler years to the teen years and every wild, wonderful stage in between.

Here, you’ll find honest stories, my attempts at a grounded faith, and recipes that are tried, true, and fully kitchen-tested. It’s part friendship, part real-life survival guide, and part love note to my kids—so they’ll always know how deeply they’re loved, and maybe even how to make dinner someday.

If you’re navigating motherhood too, or just looking for your next favorite family recipe, pull up a chair.

We’re figuring this out together.
