Welcome!

Hey there! I'm Sarah, a mama to 4 littles and wife to one hard workin' farmer (who happens to be my sweetie since high school). I have my Ph.D in the field of education, but these days I can be found cleaning peanut butter & jelly off the counter, dreaming of traveling the world, hosting “get-togethers” for my family & friends, and chasing my kids around the farm. I'm the author of Moo, Moo Nap, Nap; The Growing Season: A Year of Down-on-the-Farm Devotions and Loved Baby: 31 Devotions Helping You Grieve and Cherish Your Child After Pregnancy Loss. Please make yourself at home. I hope this place gives you a bit of respite. Just know I'm a true southerner...so a lot of y'alls might be thrown in the mix.

We love to travel but we are so happy home is our base for fall break. It’s been bliss! We’ve even cooked on the open fire each evening before we end the night with stargazing. This is the life.

Visiting the pumpkin patch soon? Here are some easy tips for picking and helping your pumpkins last as long as possible. 🤍

Stella & I had a great afternoon delivering books and eating delicious treats at @cheesecowswows !
Grateful that Moo, Moo Nap, Nap 💤 🐮 is in their gorgeous farm store.

It’s been a recent adventure of celebrations!

We spent a few blissful days in Keys celebrating the 28th year anniversary of the handwritten note asking me to be his girlfriend 🤍 and the 20th anniversary of saying “I Do” 💍.

Most years we celebrate on the porch with a home cooked dinner but on “milestone years” we go all out by gifting each other uninterrupted time together.

We are very thankful for our family who took care of ALL the kids and ALL of their afterschool activities so we could go MIA in MIA— well Islamorada but we still took the A1A.

Cheers to many more years of our happily ever after.

We also recently got to celebrate Mark’s 40th! Perry and I never go and get dressed up but we had a recent run on fancy occasions. It’s been fun!

It’s time for these little seeds to wake up!

I’m smiling so BIG!

Moo, Moo Nap,Nap releases on August 20th & here is a FIRST look at the cover. 🎉🐓🐑🐮

My sweet Beckham inspired this book and I pray it helps you with your nap time routine.

The illustrations by @foxandbirdstudio are just adorable!

Here is a bit about the story:

///

When the yellow sun reaches tall over the barn the animals on the farm start to yawn. And so begins this delightful rhyming board book where baby animals snuggle for naptime on the farm.

Moo, Moo Nap, Nap, is a lovely board book accompaniment to the delightful daytime custom of naptime. This peace-giving book helps children realize that all of God’s creations are designed to rest. Just like the sheep on the farm cuddle for a midday lull, so too do babies, toddlers, children, and some lucky adults!

In today’s world we often sacrifice sleep for productivity. However, our children (and adults!) need sleep to not just thrive, but to survive.

It will be available with major retailers in August but @endgamepress wanted to offer a pre-order special for all my friends & family!

I’m ALL smiles this afternoon. First it’s an afternoon outdoors & Stella is cooking me up some yummy dinner (clover served on a piece of tree bark). Free play is the best play!

And second…. I’ve seen the almost final galleys of Moo, Moo Nap, Nap and I’m BEYOND smitten with how @endgamepress has brought this nap time read for littles alive. It’s a d o r a b l e!

I can’t wait to get my hands on it in August! 🐮 🐓 🐝
