Hi there! I’m Sarah – a mother of two, a survivor of post-partum anxiety/depression/OCD, a respectful co-parent, and a survivor of childhood trauma. I reside in the Vancouver, BC, area and work as an early learning professional.

One could best describe me as nerdy, introverted, and a bit of a doomsponge. :)

Things that complete me: nature, dark chocolate, thrift shopping, tacos, nerdy PC games with player housing, and reading.

I write on this website to make meaning of my mothering journey, to reflect on where it’s taken me, and to learn how I keep becoming as a mother, woman and person in the mess of it all.

Thanks for stopping by!

We have been to our neighborhood park 150+ times. ⠀

So, what *finally* prompted O to overcome his fear of heights/gross motor difficulties and go up the “big kids” climber? And not just on one of the ways up, but five of the different ways?⠀
⠀
It was most definitely *not* the dozens of times I’ve eagerly tried and encouraged him. ⠀
⠀
Instead, it was the realization that his toddler sister was big enough now to start experimenting on the smaller/“his climber”, and for it to become *immediately* uncool as a result. ⠀
⠀
Oh. I see. ⠀
⠀
… and this is why I have absolutely no idea why I try sometimes. :P

On July 1st, 2012, David and I were married.

Today, on what would have soon been our ten year wedding anniversary, we wish to announce to you our separation.

This has been a conscious, respectful, and mutual decision. Other than time and growing apart, there isn’t one particular reason or event that brought it about. Life chose to move on while our marriage didn’t, and not for lack of trying.

But, please know this – we are at peace.

To our friends and family who are finding out about this for the first time through social media, we apologize. For our own well-being, however, this felt the easiest way to deliver such news.

You will still see David in my life, and vice versa. Like all things, this separation is a work in progress. We are still learning and understanding what it will mean and look like for the future of our family and our friendship.

Going forward, please respect our need for privacy as we navigate these new waters. We appreciate your understanding.

Thank you,

Sarah and David
