Hey, I’m Sarah – I was homeschooled K-12. I graduated on time, am social and do not wear a bonnet. I did not have the most incredible homeschool experience, BUT I absolutely love homeschooling my kids. On a regular basis, someone is asking me questions about homeschooling – and I love it! I decided it’d […]
mama chit chat
let’s get specific and stop saying this…
“Let me know if I can help!” I’ve often made this statement and have been on the receiving end of it (just recently in fact), but usually it can feel vague, leaving us (me) uncertain if our offer will be accepted. Surely you’ve offered this and your help was never requested. I personally have a […]
for the parent whose child doesn’t handle change or new things well
I understand this tension. The frustration. The “why can’t you just…” Our children who don’t handle change or new things smoothly can leave us feeling ill-equipped, conflicted and also annoyed (at our kids and ourselves). Emmaline, who is so incredibly caring, funny, creative and kind is my child who does not handle change or new […]
this time is precious
Someone wrote this and it really struck me. It’s something I knew I wanted to share on the blog someday, so I hope you read it and it resinates with you like it did for me. This stage of life is beautiful. Like, really really beautiful. This is the stage of life where every single […]
how i nursed for one full year (finally)
Nursing is a part of motherhood I never expected to be difficult. God designed our bodies to grow another human being, that in and of itself is absolutely incredible to me. I was made to do that. So I just assumed nursing would come naturally and easily. Ha. Yeah right! Rylie made me a mom, and with […]
let’s normalize big families can adopt too
I was in WalMart the other day by myself with my four kids when an older gentlemen commented on how many kids I had with me by saying, “you have your hands full!” This is a comment I get a lot, and I replied with a smile, “yes, I sure do. And we’re adopting.” I […]
peanut – the app to make mom friends
One of the most common phrases I hear out of moms is “it’s hard to make friends.” and it’s true. Whether you’re an adult, recently moved, a mom or transitioning seasons – it can be so hard to make friends! I was in an awkward in-between season myself a few months ago in the “friends” […]
let’s talk postpartum blues (or ppd/ppa).
I’ll admit, life with four kids 4years-old and younger has had me extremely overwhelmed at times. Mainly the inevitable moment in the day when everybody seems to need something from me all at the same time. I think I become over-stimulated because I suddenly just cannot deal and start shutting down, getting anxious or getting […]
cloth diapering 101
I’ve been cloth diapering since 2016 when Rylie was born. At some point, all of my children have worn cloth and I’ve had several people reach out to me with questions. I decided to help the masses I would make a video sharing our story plus some basics when it comes to cloth diapering. other […]

We’re almost halfway through summertime here in Alabama and I know sometimes us moms of toddlers can start to feel tapped out when it comes to things to do. Well luckily, I came across this list from our local library and I had to share (with a few edits). Visit your local library Visit a […]
