Little Sarah Birch
Welcome To Little Sarah Birch
Who am I? I’m a mother, a wife, Maritimer, a former lawyer, and a self-proclaimed adventurer who goes by Sarah. I’m not funny per se, but I get myself into funny situations that create humour in my life. I believe that everyone has a story to tell; this blog will be home to my story.
Because our family recently moved from the West to the East Coast of Canada (back to “our roots”), I’ve been thinking a lot about how to turn the place you live into your home. This blog is meant for anyone looking to feel more at home in their own life and community, while following along with mine.

We are so excited to be welcoming a new member into our family. In September, my brother and sister-in-law will give birth to their first-born son. My mother and sister Katie co-hosted a shower that my sister Ginny and I helped prepare. Here are a few tips to help...
Family Activities in P.E.I.
From tip to tip, you can drive across Prince Edward Island in roughly 2.5 hours, yet you could stay for days - weeks, months! - without ever running out of fun. PEI is home to Anne of Green Gables, red dirt and many of my favourite childhood & adult memories. In...
Tricia’s Pumpkin Bread (Birch family favourite!)
In 2006, three of my mother's best friends (and second moms to me) hosted a wedding shower for me. They asked everyone to bring a recipe card of their favourite recipe. My friend, Tricia, gave me her pumpkin bread recipe and it has been a family favourite ever since....
Homeschooling: The Job I Never Wanted
“I’ve been homeschooling my kids,” my former roommate (now Bay Street lawyer friend) says to me. “I didn’t miss my calling.” Preach. Teaching is not for everyone. There’s a reason why many of us never considered education as an option despite the favourable hours and...
Cheers to Neighbours
Neighbours lend you a cup of sugar when you’re making muffins; they lend you a listening ear when you’re having a rough day.
