Hard to believe I've been here for well over a month and have spent every night of it until Friday in Nairobi! But with Tami here and adventure in the air, we decided to be dropped in Naivasha (Lyndsay's favorite word) for a "hard-core" Mt. Kilimanjaro dress rehearsal. We didn't get to see that much [...]

A naturally curious and creative explorer, I aim to use my images and words to paint a story. I love big dogs, sunrise runs, being on the water and driving with the windows open. I've been sharing stories on here since 2008 and recently returned after a bit of a hiatus. I'm happy to be back, but really loathe writing these "about me" sections.
Mbili Goodbyes
Mbili bob. Mbili goat. Mbili goodbyes. Thank you, Lauren and Lyndsay, for giving so much of yourselves to the children of Kenya. It is much quieter here without you. xoxo Lauren and a Dust Baby Lyndsay shares a moment with Muffin

The kids at Jamii get out early on Friday and within minutes the school was empty except for Ochieng. Apparently his sister [...]
Chicken Update
I know I haven't posted a bunch on Baruku lately, so I wanted to give a quick update on the chicken farm project for all of you generous people who have decided to become a part of it. The chicks were supposed to be transported to Baruku tomorrow, but the hatchery didn't have enough so [...]
Where’s Nikki?
Those two words were uttered countless times in the two weeks that Nikki was with us in Kenya, but now that she's actually left, they are truly felt. It was so much fun to have Nikki join our Yes We Kenya group in the final hour and there is one little girl who will never, [...]
Just Another Day in Kibera
It started with a pre-unit (Kindergarten) lesson in Kiswahili... ...then came the books... ...then the balloons... ...then the kids... ...and finally, the chaos!
