About Me

Photobucket


Welcome!

My name is Sarah.

I am a child of God, a beloved wife, and mother of boys.

I enjoy menu planning, seasonal / liturgical decorating and making home beautiful with handcrafted and upcycled items. I strive toward an elegant, detached minimalism in personal possessions to "live simply so others may simply live."

I love to crochet and take pictures of flowers.

If you would like to find out why I reconciled to the Roman Catholic Church after 32 years as an evangelical, conservative Protestant, please read "Why I am Catholic."

I was home educated K-12 and went on to snag a B.A. in History and Piano Performance with a last minute Mr.S.

My favorite ice cream is Blue Bell Natural Vanilla Bean and my favorite exotic frozen treat is Talenti Sorbetto: Roman Raspberry.

My favorite drinks are Bengal Spice tea and Welch's Grape Juice. 

I enjoy thrift store shopping, reading,  nature watching, writing, accounting classes and crochet.

I watch Bollywood musicals, Sherlock, Downton Abbey, Dr. Who and various murder mysteries  crochet hook in hand.

I love Padre Pio and St. Theresa of Lisieux. Mother Teresa and Venerable Solanus Casey were my special patrons while a catechumen. I am specially devoted to Our Mother under her title "Our Lady of Lourdes."
