Welcome!

I’m Lara… a 30-something mother, writer, and social worker with a slightly fanatical party planning hobby. I recently traded my fifteen-year career as a Child and Family Therapist to stay home with my son and return to my roots as a writer. What Lara Wrote is my collection of personal and professional parenting experiences, life and style articles, and my interviews with amazing people.

Welcome to a well-rounded blog of inspiration and positivity. Thanks so much for visiting.

WHERE ARE MY FELLOW 80’s/90’s KIDS?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ On this day 29 years ago “The All New Mickey Mouse Club” premiered and paved the way for LEGENDS! The MMC was my favorite thing to look forward to everyday after school at 5:30. The cast were my peers...they were relatable and cool and made you feel like they were inviting you over to sit at their lunch table through the TV screen. 😉 And talented...insanely talented! These guys have gone on to have incredible careers and are a part of international pop culture. ⭐️ But best of all, they’re a good bunch. They’re not making headlines creating scandals... they’re enjoying life, staying friends, raising families, and showing appreciation for where they got their start. I’m working on a couple of articles about them so stay tuned! And thanks, Mouseketeers, for being a great part of our childhoods! ❤️❤️ . . . #MMC #mickeymouseclub #disney #disneychannel #teenidols #AlwaysInTheClub #80skid #90skid #tv #mouseears #mickeyears #waltdisneyworld #disneyfan @disneychannel #blogger #entertainmentblogger @disneystudios @chasen_hampton @thejennifermcgill @my_roque @davidkaterofficial @thebrandybrownstudio @damonppampolina @deedeemagnohallofficial @tolindseya @fourpalms @gasolinefiend @rickylunamusic @nikdeloach @terradeva @dalegodboldo @luccadoes @jcchasezofficial @therealcarsonator @mattmorris @justintimberlake @tjfantini My hat photo by: @jacnjules

Great spot from this weekend where I worked on my next article (Aren’t we lucky to live in an age where we can take “the office” anywhere?!) 🙌🏻 So excited about the strong nonprofit founder I had the honor of interviewing for my blog (she was one of Oprah’s coolest guests!) Article publishing this week so stay tuned friends! 👍🏻😉 . . . #nextpost #writerslife #writersofinstagram #ontheblog #comingsoon #staytuned #interview #interviewer #nonprofit #strongwomen #oprahshow #pajamas #childrenscharity #blogger #beach
