Welcome to my blog! Shall I introduce myself?
My name is Sara Bare, and I am a mom to two, a wife to one, and a momma bear (Bare) boss to all. Jk Jk. The Toddler is 100% the boss.
In a former life I was an RN, with a love of order and a small dash of perfectionism/OCD. My hair was always done, makeup always on, and I always got at least 9 hours of sleep a night. Then kids came, and now I stay at home, drink cold coffee, and I’m pretty sure I have been using the same tube of mascara for about a year and a half. Sleep is a distant memory, and my house is in chaos. But I love it. Most days. In my free time (what little there is), I post product reviews to the Guidance Guide website, where I am an MVP Brand Contributor.
Jason is 5, and is full of energy, life and joy. He is on the autism spectrum, and I will probably write a lot about awareness and acceptance, our ups and downs, and how he has taught me so much about neurodiversity, inclusion, and LOVE.
Lily is my feisty toddler, who appears to be entering her terrible-two’s prematurely! She is one of the most affectionate children I have ever met, along with the most demanding. She is an absolute spitfire, and I am already anxious about the teenage years. That reminds me. Does anyone have a recommendation for a wine subscription?
Bryan is my husband. I scored the jackpot when I met him, but I can’t actually tell him that because he would rub it in my face daily. He is funny and supportive, stubborn as a mule and loyal to the end of his days. But where he really shines is in fatherhood. You will never meet a more hands-on and present dad, and it brings me so much joy to watch him with our children.
So, that is a brief intro to my family, the 4 Bares. I’m excited to share with you what makes me happy and what drives me nuts, products I love, and random thoughts in my head.
Here we go…….
