  • Who Really Knows What They Want?

    Who really knows what they want? 80 years is a long time. I can wear many faces throughout that time. Always changing- always (hopefully) getting better. It’s not better yet. So much pressure before we get to decide. I was always pushed. Pushed into sports. Pushed into activities. Pushed into conversation. Pushed into relationships. Pushed into college. Pushed into classes. Pushed into different majors. Pushed into figuring it all out – then and there.

    “My mind always raced..”

    Sarah

    I never got to think about what I wanted. Now I pay the price. Expectation is everywhere; motivation is no where to be found.

  • Sometimes it makes sense

    It’s amazing how life changes. Here one second, gone the next. Always wondering & wandering.

    How can one thing be so great, yet so bad? Is this it? I know there’s more. I think we all do. But why the suffering? To be more compassionate? To be more aware? Punishment? Feels like it sometimes. Then, I wake up at 5Am. It’s cold. I dread the day. None the less, I drag myself out of bed, still wanting to be wrapped up. I make hot tea. Honey and heat coat my throat. Much needed. But the second I open the patio door, it hits me. Life. The GOOD part. Fresh air, sounds of early traffic, birds. I always close my eyes. In that moment, it makes sense.

    But only for a moment.

    Being in the office can be a drag. Your outfit doesn’t have to be. I used to dress down and it made me feel sluggish and unproductive. By simply focusing on my outfit for that day, I add a little happiness into an otherwise draggy day.

    This was always a go to outfit. I swear by these Old Navy Pants. They are stretchy in all the right places. Sitting down all day is bearable. They make your bum look great and they hide the gut. Win Win. Just simply tuck in a black tank or tshirt with a sturdy blazer and you’re good to go.

    This blazer is a favorite of mine. It’s no longer available, so I’m sorry but H&M is always switching up their products. You can find hundreds of similar ones on their site.

    I pair this outfit with gold hoops, a gold choker, and a pair of black heels.

    Blazer: H&M $50 No longer available but all their blazers are ADORABLE

    Pants: Old Navy – High Waisted Pixie Full Length Plaid Pants $40 https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=737466012&modelSize=S&vid=1&tid=onpl000000&kwid=1&ap=7&gbraid=0AAAAAD_AT8uGG9HgDb04pMR0j5IF2jN4k&gbraid=0AAAAAD_AT8uGG9HgDb04pMR0j5IF2jN4k&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsqOMBhDFARIsAFBTN3fisQvVrvG6sWQggTve8u8H9lzG8P49ikLueJzVoJSUtONMSkm5QEcaAhEdEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds#pdp-page-content

  • Introduction

    Hi there! My name is Sarah. I’m a food enthusiast, plant lover, mama to 1 and an introvert. I hope to share some homemade recipes that you’ll be able to share with your family as well as some tips and tricks to get through this crazy thing we call life. Why start a blog you may ask? I needed an outlet. Between my 9-5, my crazy family and all my ambition I needed someone to talk to. Join me on this journey 🙂
