A good reason to get people together, a little bubbly, a few tasty bites and a cool space to do it in? Sold.

Lauren Lockwood of Lauren Lockwood CNM is bringing the conversation to the upstairs loft at 4th Street Cellars for an intimate evening centered around women’s wellness.

We’re keeping this one small, friends — just 20 guests — because the whole point is for it to feel personal.

Come grab a glass of wine, learn something, ask questions and have the chance to actually talk about the stuff we should probably be talking about more✨

Wednesday, October 7 | 6:30 PM
 4th Street Cellars | Downtown Santa Rosa

Only 20 spots — ticket link is in my bio + over at Lauren Lockwood CNM

Okay. I’m back.

I’m back behind the apron and taking on events, weddings, parties and cakes.

So if you’ve been sitting on an idea, tell me about it.

Let’s make something cool.

I disappeared for a minute because I was busy swimming 12 miles across Lake Tahoe. 😂

I finally wrote about it — not really the whole story, but some thoughts on what happened somewhere between one beach and the other. The people. The training. The scary parts. And what I learned about myself along the way.

It’s in the BTA Journal if you want to read it. Link in bio. 🤍

And if there’s something a little ridiculous/scary/way-too-big that you keep thinking about doing... maybe go do it. You might surprise the hell out of yourself.

I thought I was putting Beyond the Apron on hold.

Turns out, I was just giving it more to say.

It’s been almost a month since I’ve shared anything here. I haven’t stopped thinking about Beyond the Apron... I’ve just been spending every spare minute getting ready to swim across Lake Tahoe.

Somewhere along the way, I realized this season has been teaching me things that belong here too. Preparation. Showing up. Taking care of myself so I can take care of other people. Learning that consistency usually beats perfection.

I’m not exactly sure where all these thoughts are going yet. I’m just living them first.

I have a feeling there are some really good stories waiting on the other side of this lake. 💛

I used to ask myself “What’s for dinner?” every Sunday.

By Wednesday I’d be staring into the fridge wondering why I planned salmon on the same night we had swim practice, homework, and a late meeting.

So I stopped planning recipes first.

• The hardest day gets the easiest dinner.
• One night stays open.
• Then I choose recipes.

It’s the first meal-planning method I’ve actually stuck with.

I turned it into a workbook for myself and finally recorded a walkthrough showing exactly how I use it.

If you’d like both, comment MEAL PLAN and I’ll send them over❤️

I’ve started thinking about meals completely differently lately☀️

Last night at open house I overheard someone say:
“I didn’t know it was open house tonight… now we have to figure out food somewhere.”
My wheels started to turn - why do so many meal plans forget about real life?

We all have busy nights, unexpected schedule changes, exhaustion, and kids suddenly declining something they wanted 3 days ago😂

The easiest weeks seem to be where I’ve left a little breathing room, created an ingredient crossover, and given leftovers a plan. One takeout night or backup freezer meal already accounted for from the beginning. You know that winning feeling when you remember you have those Costco frozen dumplings you bought two weeks ago 😅

Stay tuned. I’m quietly working on a more realistic way to think about meal planning because honestly… I think a lot of us are trying to solve the same problem 👀

I spent Mother’s Day by a pool and immediately started thinking about how different summer gathering food is 😅
Because “bring whatever!” somehow turns into a full internal spiral about:

✨ what’s already being served
✨ whether it’ll survive the heat
✨ if people can eat it standing barefoot and wet
✨ whether it’s actually easy to share

The best things to bring are usually simple, cold, refreshing, and low maintenance.

Not necessarily the fanciest thing at the party —
just the thing people keep going back for between conversations and swims.

I think thoughtful hosting and thoughtful guesting actually have a lot in common: making things feel easy for everyone else ✨

Okay now I need to know — what’s your go-to “bring whatever” dish? Let’s hear it below!

Lighting the candles, pouring something to drink, making small adjustments before anyone arrives.

Most people focus on the table—
but lighting is what actually changes how a space feels.

It’s the difference between people standing around…
and people settling in.

It’s something restaurants understand really well.
And it’s one of the easiest things to recreate at home.

You don’t need more decor.
You just need to change the light ✨

One of my favorite traditions 🤍

Every year I donate a custom cake to the Marsh Field Day auction—and this year it made its way to a very special 70th birthday celebration 🧵✨

Designed with a love of sewing in mind, full of texture, detail, and a whole lot of intention.

Getting to create something meaningful and give back to a community that does so much… that’s the good stuff.

Marsh Field Day is a free family friendly event supporting conservation efforts and youth outdoor programs. If you’re local, come out to CWA’s Grizzly Ranch in Suisun City on June 6 and support an incredible cause 🦆

I’ve always had a deep love for the arts - the kind that makes you stop, look a little closer, and feel something.

Honored to have the chance to create a piece for Art of Dessert

This cake was my way of stepping a little further outside the box - leaning into texture, movement, and design in a way that feels more like art than dessert.

Grateful to support a place that does so much for our creative community, and to be a part of an event that celebrates spirit✨
