Sarah Keating
Sarah is a 30-something mom of four children under six and wife to her high-school sweetheart. She returned to Acadiana two years ago following her husband’s completion of medical school and residency in Shreveport. After the move, Sarah switched gears from full-time pediatric speech-language pathologist and working mom to full-time stay-at-home mom to her brood. Her current hobbies include “speech-therapizing” her children, re-reading the Outlander series, catching up on her Netflix queue after the kids go to bed, completing XHIT videos at naptime, and taking her medication every morning. She loves and respects the sacredness of motherhood, but sometimes you just have to let go and laugh it out. Motherhood has been the most humbling, and empowering journey she has experienced.

Letting Go of Unrealistic Friendship Expectations
As women, I think most can agree we crave meaningful relationships more than anything else. We need friends, a group of friends, a tribe if you're trendy. Some of us have had the same...

The Perfect SoLa Summer Day
We woke up Wednesday morning to a little miracle: 70 degree weather. That little #cajuncoldfront was almost enough to make me cook a gumbo.
