Meet Sarah from Start Simple End Strong
Finding joy and happiness in a simple, purposeful life at home; homemaking routines for simple living.
Welcome to Start Simple End Strong, a blog where I can share about my two favorite topics; homemaking routines and simple living. All in one place!
It all began with a question. What can I do now that will make my job easier?
You see I am a homemaker and stay-at-home mom. I was becoming burnt out with all the “stuff we had to do in our daily life. I needed a change!
Thus I wrote a list of all the things in my life that were driving me nuts. If anything is driving you nuts, try doing this, it totally helps and gives you ideas for what you can change.
The one idea that kept getting repeated was, I’m tired of picking up stuff all the time. The kids’ toys were out of hand, I had created complicated organizational systems (I love organizing but the systems weren’t working), and I needed to simplify.
Let me tell you, there is light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to getting our homes and lives back under control. For me it was going through our home in 5-15 minute decluttering sessions, you can read more about that journey HERE. Eventually, my husband and I were able to get our home under control.
I share all that I have and continue to learn about homemaking, decluttering, organizing, and simplifying with you lovely folks.
Come along and join in on the journey of creating simple homemaking routines for simple living.

I am the oldest of four.
My husband and I met in 2012 while in college.
I became an elementary school teacher and my husband became a first-responder.
