Lauren DeArmond

Hey, there I'm Lauren! I am so happy to be a part of the team of writers here! This area of the country offers up a vast variety of things to write about. I enjoy writing, radio, and many musical genres. I call South Central Kentucky home though my roots run deep in Daviess County. A mom of three, life is super busy these days but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love all things spooky and kooky, I'm always on the lookout for a good ghost story and spend every autumn looking for the best Halloween décor. Nothing basic about loving a quality pumpkin spice latte. I hope you enjoy the content I write about, thanks for reading!
