Today sucked…big time In fact, this week really seemed to hit me with all kinds of suckage. I was “blessed” with the ability to wake up every morning bright and early to serve coffee at our on-campus pastry shop (and be there by 7:20am) Have I mentioned lately the mile and a half walk?

I never intended this blog to be an inspirational “Life Lessons with Lauren” series similar to that of Dr. Phil. I mean, Dr. Phil is great and all, but I’m usually not one to televise my problems to the masses, unless it’s complaining about walking 3 miles or washing my own dishes. However, I have {Read More…}
The following post was my journal entry on Wednesday… Today was a bittersweet day. After dropping Jared off at the train station, I wasn’t prepared to show the emotion that I did. What I hadn’t realized is that I had adjusted to Florence, but with him. I had walked everywhere with him, ate dinner everywhere {Read More…}
Friday was a day filled with amazement, and amazement in more than one area. I was scheduled to meet two of the girls from the pastry school to find the rest of our necessities for pastry school. However, Jared and I decided to stop by the market, which we had heard was strewn with fresh {Read More…}
Other than waking up at 12:30pm (and feeling like a bum), my first days as an Italian were quite stressful, but in a “this will be ok” kind of way. My stomach and sleeping schedule were still left in confusion, as I woke up and still felt no desire to eat. Now, let me break it {Read More…}
I’m willing to admit right now the fact that I’m completely out of my comfort zone. The range of emotions right now is unexplainable inexpressible, and unimaginable. So many things have happened in the last 4 days that have never happened in my entire life. Here, I will attempt to explain these victories over confusion, while {Read More…}

After many surveys, much debate, and several near-death brawls between a few individuals, the flavors have been decided. I gave you a list of many many whoopie pies, such as those pictures below, and you were asked to make the final cut. However, I must confess, I did sway one vote. I included one whoopie that had {Read More…}
Let’s Make Whoopie and The Miss Cupcake are pleased to introduce a new “bar” to the menu: The Ice Cream *I Scream* Sandwich Bar. When I first had this idea, I realized immediately that the concept was ingenius…would most likely generate millions in profit….and might even make me famous. Except…there is one teeny tiny little {Read More…}
Let’s Make Whoopie has graciously offered you the chance to partake in the flavor selection process for the August sale, which, must I remind you, is THE LAST SALE before I go to Italy. Yes, it’s a big deal…plan for massive whoopie pie order mode now. Give yourself time to mentally prepare for this. But {Read More…}
Do you remember that very large check that I received from the KIZ for entering the business plan competition with Let’s Make Whoopie? Well, other than realizing that the check did not work at any local banks and its most functional use was as a sun visor for Jared’s car….it let me to become very good {Read More…}
