Laura
Laura is a small-town Wisconsin girl who’s made her home in De Pere for the last 15 years. She has a journalism degree from UW-Oshkosh and works as a copy editor and freelance writer when she’s not working on a novel, running, or teaching yoga. Her family includes her husband, two daughters at home, and an adult stepson and daughter-in-law, both of whom serve our country in the U.S. Marine Corps. What I love most about living in this area: Visiting the Brown County libraries, running on the Fox River Trail and cheering for the Green Bay Packers!

Cooking During Quarantine: Restaurant Week at Home

Even Busy Moms Need Mindful Meditation
When I say the words “mindful meditation,” what image comes to mind? Something akin to a Buddhist monk sitting cross-legged in a tranquil garden, right? He’s wearing robes; his eyes are closed. He is...
