Hey there, I’m Sarah and thank you so much for checking out my blog! I am so glad you’re here.

I live in Birmingham, Alabama but I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. We’ve lived in Birmingham for 4 years and although we call this home, I’m a Seahawks fan above all other sports teams and snow makes me very happy!

I like sharing a lot of things in this space, but it’s all focused around my life as a wife and mom. The family stories, making our house a home, life with kids, the parties, the food and being creative.

Aaron and I love date nights. If we’re able to get a sitter and go out, we love trying hole-in-the-wall restaurants and watch the latest Marvel, DC or Pixar movie in theaters. If we’re at home (which is more likely), we’re probably eating dessert and folding laundry. 😛

We have 2 gorgeous and hilarious little girls – Rylie and Emmaline – and another little one will be joining our crew this fall.

This blog was birthed after years of having a desire to write but convincing myself no one would ever read it. A couple of months after we moved, I found myself constantly repeating what we were doing here in the south and decided blogging might be an easier way to keep people informed. I fought the fear inside me and it has since grown into a huge passion of mine and I absolutely love sharing our family on this space. I hope it always brings encouragement and leaves you feeling valued and not alone.

I absolutely love going on adventures with our crew, making our house homey, delicious food and hosting. Gathering people together and building community is a huge passion of ours and we love creating an environment that makes people feel loved and blessed.

I became an Usborne Books & More lady after swearing I’d never go into sales but I had the most incredible experience and fell in love with the books. It’s not sales if you’re promoting a product you and your family love, right!?
I earn a weekly paycheck and free book hauls for my kids just by sharing the books we are loving!
If you want to find out more you can always message me & follow my book account on Instagram!

I’m passionate about encouraging others, especially mamas. The world can be so cold and lonely, particularly when you have kids and you’re just trying to figure out what works for you and your family.

The Shaver crew has chosen a Christ-centered, creative, family-focused and joyful living even with the crazy.
Being a wife and mom is my calling and I absolutely wouldn’t trade the craziness for the world.
Every meal is my favorite and I’m a believer that one of the joys of being an adult is eating dessert before the meal if you want to.
I love going on adventures and experiencing new things with my favorite people.
Jesus is everything and we are super involved in our local church.
Blogging and documenting life while encouraging others is my passion and I love sharing our family, home, projects, meals, DIYs, etc. with you!

I wish we could all enjoy a hot meal at our table and laugh together about the craziness of motherhood. But until then, I hope to be someone you feel like you can connect with. So send me an email (sarahmshaver@gmail.com) or connect with me on Instagram!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HEARTS WITH ME.
