A Slow Sunday

April 16, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 2 Comments

I have minestrone soup in the slow cooker and sweet potato in the oven. While the soup is for my lunches at work this week, I am about to enjoy the sweet potato as a Sunday snack. I’ve poured myself a cup of tea, which reminds me of how I used to blog. Autumn has … Continue reading A Slow Sunday

Femininity: Winter Wardrobe

March 12, 2023March 21, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

If you didn't know, my favourite season is winter. As much as I love summer dresses and the lingering sun in the evenings, the cosiness of cold weather is unmatched; cups of tea, wrapping up in blankets, and finally; the winter wardrobe. While I have never had an extensive wardrobe (but also not quite a … Continue reading Femininity: Winter Wardrobe

At Home: Showing Up

February 26, 2023March 11, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 2 Comments

So much of what we do is simply… showing up. How easy it is to dream of being a writer for a living, of having a book published under my name. But the writing itself cannot be done until I make myself sit at the computer and put in the hours. Of course, this time … Continue reading At Home: Showing Up

At Home: to move quietly

January 8, 2023February 6, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 7 Comments

I admit, there are times when I do not have a good attitude. When the things that need to be done are done with grumbling and frustration. While I can look around my home and find joy, there are also times when it all feels too much and I wish someone else could cook dinner … Continue reading At Home: to move quietly

A Spring Weekend

September 10, 2022October 22, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

When I stepped out of my car after work yesterday and into the evening air, I could smell some flowers. It was not yet dark but I could see the white glow of the moon surrounded by clouds. Spring is here and I’m excited! It has been said before and I will be one of … Continue reading A Spring Weekend

Learning to Prioritise

August 20, 2022October 2, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 3 Comments

I've been sitting in the sun and realising I have more time than I thought I did. In starting a full-time job, I knew there would be an adjustment period as I got used to a time-sensitive to-do list on the weekend and more responsibility in how I spent my evenings. To help minimise the … Continue reading Learning to Prioritise

Awake / Poem

August 16, 2022December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Awake (written by Sarah Bennett) I fell asleep at eighteen and opened my eyes at twenty five. I tell myself I’m wiser from it all, but I don’t know if that’s true. I threw away time I thought I didn’t need and now spend every second trying to keep up with the present. I do … Continue reading Awake / Poem

Onto the Next Thing

July 3, 2022August 14, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I’m in the midst of moving, which is exciting. In just over a week I’ll be living somewhere new, which I don’t know if I’ve fully processed yet. With all the practical aspects to keep me busy, as well as working, I haven’t had many opportunities to just stop and let myself think about it. … Continue reading Onto the Next Thing

At Home: being faithful with what we have

June 8, 2022October 22, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 3 Comments

There is a dream I come back to. When I was in late high school, I dreamt that my home was on fire and everything was burning. As I left the house I grabbed my Bible and nothing else. We lived, but none of our other possessions made it. I come back to this dream … Continue reading At Home: being faithful with what we have

Femininity: on physical appearance

May 25, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I haven’t devoted an entire blog post to the physical appearance aspect of femininity, but it has been weighing on my mind for a few weeks. Admittedly, it has taken that long to grapple with the topic before I felt comfortable to talk about it. Similarly to when I spoke about health last week, the … Continue reading Femininity: on physical appearance
