I'M SARAH

THE HOLIDAY MAMA

A holiday mama isn't just about celebrating the calendar holidays. She is excited to make an ordinary day feel extraordinary, is ready to celebrate all things big and small, and sees every day as an opportunity to pour love into her family.

A Few Things

I Call Myself

I love everything about blogging, it's the perfect blend of creativity, photography, writing, and SEO.

I'm a designer of many things: blogs, websites, beauty products, jewelry, printables, wedding dresses (one and done!), and more!

I'm 100% self-taught and love snapping and editing pics for my blog posts. (I love shooting portraits of friends and family, too.)

DIY pushes me and teaches me that I am capable of so much more than I thought.

PERFUME GIRL

My biggest blessing is becoming a mother to the most joyful, loving, and hilarious little girl. She makes life far more special than I could have ever imagined.

MAMA

I don't take for granted how big God has blessed me. Each and every day with my loved ones is a gift.

From events, fashion, interiors, to food styling, I'm grateful for my keen eye for aesthetics.

GET TO KNOW ME

SO IN LOVE with my sweet mini Australian labradoodle, Dolly.

I'm known in my crowd as the maker (and bringer) of many a flower crown.

Love this husband of mine who is often mistaken for a superhero. (Srsly!)

More fun facts

When I'm not in the middle of a DIY project, I can usually be found glued to my computer designing a new template for my fellow bloggers, hanging out in the "aisles of possibility" at Home Depot or Hobby Lobby, styling new scenes for my stock shop, dreaming up flirty new perfume names, or out in the wild with my cowboy boot-wearing hunky husband and forever-fetching fluffy labradoodle.

My favorite things include getting outside (and staying outside all day), road-trips along the California coast, beach bonfires with friends (I'll bring the sparklers!), over-the-top DIY projects, getting up at 5am to go to the DTLA flower market (HEAVEN ON EARTH!!!), and taking endless photos of people I love.

Beach, bonfire & s'mores!
