Sarah K
Older mom, newish baby, doodler, writer, teacher, lover of cheese and carbs. Coffee is my ride or die.

A new mom again in her 40’s, Sarah is an older mother of 2 girls, aged 10 and 1. She’s a working mom, a wife, a teacher, a writer, and a doodler. She's also a Project and Social Media Manager for online businesses. Her mission is to share reality beyond the filter, beyond the carefully curated insta-pic, and the hollow-quote memes we judge our existence against. She wants to spare other moms everywhere the feeling of failure and “not good enough”. So she’s real, not perfect; raw, not half baked. Join her adventures as she navigates new motherhood again after 10 years, and experiences a toddler and a tweenager, with menopause not far behind.
