“We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly”

When I was pregnant with Mia, Matt and I decided to try and reduce our waste as much as possible. We do cloth diapers and wanted to do reusable wipes as well.

I'M BACK! New Year, New Blog, New Me

Happy New Year!

After quite a long pause I’m finally ready to get back to Simply Sarah.

Life got a bit crazy there for a while with getting married, having a baby and moving to a different province. The biggest change for me was actually becoming a mom. I didn’t expect to loose myself after having Mia. To be honest, I’m still struggling. Processing my new role, our house crumbling around us…
