About Me
🙋🏻♀️ Hi, I'm Sarah - a first time mom chasing her small business dreams in Mississauga, Canada. I started on Youtube to document the early days of starting my home business in 2020 and have since enjoyed capturing life with my husband and baby as well~ I hope these vlogs and videos bring a little laughter and joy to your day!
