Welcome to Love the Laniers — a space built for real parents living real lives.

Our journey started in the middle of the chaos — baby toys underfoot, sticky counters, half-finished school projects, and a calendar that never seems to slow down. We looked around and realized: parenting doesn’t come with a manual, but it does come with community. That’s what this site is all about. We’re here to support fellow families navigating the winding roads of raising children, managing homes, and preparing teens for the adult world.

At our core, we talk parenting — the messy, meaningful, everyday kind. Whether you’re wrangling preschool routines, breaking down weekly grocery budgets, or guiding your young adult through their first apartment lease, we get it. Our content is rooted in lived experience, expert insight, and lots (and lots) of trial and error.

Here, we share practical guides, heartfelt stories, budget hacks that actually work, and lessons from both the wins and the wobbles. We believe that parenting doesn’t look the same for everyone, and that’s exactly how it should be. Our goal is to create a resource where readers can find support — and maybe even a laugh or two — in the everyday moments that make family life so rich.

So whether you’re here for ideas, encouragement, or just a little clarity in the clutter, we’re glad you’ve found us.

Dive in — there’s something here for every season of family life.
