About Sarah

 



Sarah is, as the internet so eloquently puts it, a 'Spicy Disaster.'

I am not unique, in fact I would like to think that you and I are probably very alike, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this.

 A 30 something year old woman in Devon, home educating her son, surviving her trip hazard home, and just trying to do her best in a world full of demands and frets. But I'm trying to do it well. We all are, aren't we? I want to love the home I am in despite a low income and limits to how far I can furnish it, I'd like to travel and explore, if only occasionally, and I want to enjoy my womanhood and adapt self care to fit my means. I screw up. But thankfully, I laugh a lot. Both a good thing and a deeply, deeply annoying thing for anyone in my vicinity.

Ultimately, I want to love living. I make mistakes and I become great at some things. I manage my disabilities, Autism and ADHD, and try to work with it all, not resent my differences.

 So what do I bring to the table? Self healing, self parenting, self loving experiences and experiments. And all the same for others too. Being a part of the journey for other people. This world is made up of lots of big cruddy things, but a thousand happy glimmers too. I like the glimmers.


My glimmers look like

  • Day Trips
  • Travel
  • Disney
  • Beauty Care
  • Midsize Fashion
  • Special Occasions
  • Wonderful Food
  • Film
  • Nerdery
  • Books
  • Painting and creating
  • Writing
  • Walking
  • Wildlife
  • Dog Care
  • Home Improvement

Honest, glorious nonsense about surviving in wild mediocrity.

The Pawsitive Influence: Why I Love Raising My Child With A Dog

  The Pawsitive Influence: Why I Love Raising My Child With A Dog I may be biased as a woman who grew up surrounded by animals and who these days has the constant shadow in the shape of a golden retriever , but in my own personal opinion, the role of pets, particularly dogs, in a child's life cannot be overstated .  The companionship, unconditional love, and valuable life lessons that dogs offer can have a profound impact on a child's development . In this blog post, we'll explore the numerous benefits of children growing up with dogs that I have witnessed in myself (thanks memory) and my child. Companionship and Emotional Support: Dogs are known for their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love. Having a furry friend by their side provides children with constant companionship and a sense of security. The bond formed between a child and their dog can be a source of emotional support, helping them navigate the ups and downs of life with a trusted confidant. Responsibility ...

"Who Let The God's Out" and the author who made us friends with Greek superstars Leo and I love bed time stories, but we do best unwinding when listening together via audible . This series has been so brilliant for our evenings and we have been hooked since my close friend, another home educating mum, enthusiastically recommended them (along with her kids who would lace conversation with quotes in incredible character voices from the author's recording).
