I’m Sara, a mom and a former detective turned simplicity seeker. After years in law enforcement, I realized the demands of the job were taking a toll on my mental health and my ability to be present for my family. So, I made a life-changing decision to step away from my career and pursue a path that aligned with my values: living intentionally, slowing down, and focusing on what truly matters.

I’m Sara, a mom and a former detective turned simplicity seeker. After years in law enforcement, I realized the demands of the job were taking a toll on my mental health and my ability to be present for my family. So, I made a life-changing decision to step away from my career and pursue a path that aligned with my values: living intentionally, slowing down, and focusing on what truly matters.

The Simple Pursuit was born out of my desire to reconnect with the basics—timeless traditions like gardening, cooking with clean ingredients, and creating a toxin-free home. This blog is a space where I share what I’ve learned along the way, offering practical tips, simple DIY projects, and wholesome recipes that help busy families live well without breaking the bank.

"Slow down, simplify, and savor the beauty in the everyday." 

— The Simple Pursuit

Here, we believe that life doesn’t have to be complicated to be fulfilling. It’s about making small, meaningful changes—whether that’s mending your own clothes, savoring a quiet cup of coffee, or simplifying your home to create more space for what matters most. My hope is that through The Simple Pursuit, you’ll feel inspired to embrace simplicity, pursue mindfulness, and live with greater intention in your everyday life.
