Hi, I’m Lauren — but around here, they call me Mimmy.

I never expected God to call me into a blended family story — one full of joy, stretching, and the kind of beautiful chaos that keeps you leaning on His grace. Somewhere along the way, I became “Mimmy” to a house full of kids… and a heart full of lessons I never could have learned any other way.

Stepmom life is beautiful.
Stepmom life is hard.
Most days, it’s both.

Mimmy & Me was created as a place for women navigating the real tension of blending a family to finally breathe again.

A family of five enjoys a peaceful walk through a grassy field near a lake during sunset.

What You’ll Find Here

This isn’t a space for perfect routines, picture-ready homes, or “try harder” advice.

Here, you’ll find:

  • Real talk about stepmom life, marriage, co-parenting, and blended family dynamics
  • Faith-rooted encouragement that sees the hard parts without letting them define you
  • Practical tools to bring more peace, connection, and predictability into your home
  • Helpful resources like the Stepmom Starter Kit and 100 Ways to Connect
    — created to help you move from surviving to slowly rebuilding joy

My hope is that as you read, you feel seen, supported, and not so alone in the journey.

A Little About Me

I’m a wife, a stepmom, a bio mom, and the woman trying to remember what’s in the crockpot while mediating who gets the blue cup.

I believe:

  • God is present in both the giggles and the gut punches
  • Love in a blended family is not second-best — it’s fiercely chosen
  • You don’t have to be perfect to be a faithful, steady, grace-filled stepmom

I don’t have all the answers.
But I’m walking this road too — and I’m committed to sharing what I learn along the way.
