About

You know the woman who looks elegant or glamorous and has it all together? That's not me. I used to wish it was. I am more likely to be found doing this:

My attempts at glamour, organisation, or getting out the door on time are done with gaffa tape, polyfilla and deep cleansing breaths.

So with that in mind, welcome to my little part of the world here in Perth, Western Australia. Thank you so much for visiting me. I hope you'll stay and follow along.
I'm Sarah Pietrzak.

I blog about my life, what I'm learning and my family and friendships. I aim to focus on the positive. I love trying new things and finding adventure in the everyday, as well as the new and exciting. I'm fascinated by people and have come to learn that everyone has a story. I love writing and interviewing people. And this place is a way to share a little slice of a life I am very blessed to have.

In my former life I was an English teacher for what feels like a gazillion years. These day I am a freelance writer. I recently attended BlogHer and I currently work for the awesome people at  Huggies Website and write a blog column twice a week. In addition, I write a range of articles for them on everything from budget mummy makeovers through to a guide for Christmas shopping for kids. 

I recently moderated a discussion at the Aussie Bloggers Conference about the role of Social Media. You can read a review of the job I did here.

I am a Social Media Consultant for The Herdsman. You can read a review of my role there

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. 

Home stuff:
I am married to The Engineer and we have three children known on this blog as Mr Large, Miss Medium and Mr Small. Those are not in fact, their real names. Most days I can be found frantically ferrying the offspring here and there, in between working, trying to eat sensibly and catch up with friends.
