Hello, I am Lauren Guntharp. I am a wife, a mother of two, and the owner of Loaves by Lauren. For eight years, I dedicated my career to serving Veterans at a Veteran Memorial Hospital, an experience I found deeply rewarding. However, as my husband's work required increased travel, I recognized the growing strain on my work-life balance and the increasing distance from my family. This led to my decision to prioritize my role as a stay-at-home parent. Baking has always been a cherished hobby, and I longed for the autonomy to manage my own schedule and prioritize my family. Driven by a desire to balance personal fulfillment with family needs, I decided to transform my passion for baking into a business, establishing Loaves by Lauren.
