The Girl Behind the Trunk




I'm Lauren and welcome to The Elephant's Trunk- a place for all things creative (food, DIY, fashion, tutorials, Etsy, home decor) and a little bit of life! I'm 24 years old and in the process of figuring out what I want to be when I grow up. 


I do know that whatever I do I want this guy to be around. That's Brendan (the fiance) and he means everything to me. I also have two other boys in my life. 



This is my fur baby Carmelo Anthony (yes- he is named after a basketball player). 



This is Willie (yes- he is named after the singer- Brendan's last name and my future last name is Nelson). 


That's my little family and the three of us live in Denver, Colorado. Brendan and I will be getting married June 8, 2013.
