About Me

Sara is a full-time mama, wife, homemaker, doula, Theatre Tech and adjunct, who spends her little free time blogging for other mamas.

I grew up in an amazing loving family a few states from the rest of our extended family who are all VERY close.  I feel very blessed to have been raised in such an amazing family with parents who somehow gave my brother and I a great sense of independence, common sense and love of God and family.

After studying History, Women's Studies and Theatre, I eventually Graduated in 2004 with a BA in Theatre Arts.  The summer before my last year, months after coming back from a year in England, I met the man I would marry in a little more than a year.

A few months after having our first surprise blessing, our little girl, I began working at a Christian University doing a WIDE range of theatre related projects.  It was quite nice to use my degree after jobs at Hot-Dog-on-a-Stick, Starbucks, an English Pub and fulfilling role at an Art, Calligraphy, Wedding Invitation and Announcement Studio.  Working at the Theatre at a Christian university has allowed me a good amount of flexibility to pursue other things.  Like family!

Between our first and second babies I started training to be a doula and began my "online" presence.  A Christian Doula began to advertise and provide resources for pregnant and new moms.  I started Your Thriving Family in July of 2010, but didn't really know what I was doing and life got a little complicated.  Soon after I started up a bit again at the beginning of 2011 I had a miscarriage.  Writing, amongst other things, helped me heal and I started looking at publishing a book - of course those roads lead to something bigger than we were able to do at the time.

In October 2011, I launched Holding Our Hope, Faith through Loss, My Journey through Miscarriage.  Starting the blogging process all over again ingnite a new fervor.  All three of these endevors are definitely a ministry for me, put heavily on my heart.  I pray that it touches you, improves the quality and joy in your life.
