Sarah Casimiro
Sarah grew up in Rhode Island and now lives in West Bridgewater, making brief stops in Quincy, Fall River, and East Bridgewater, along the way. She made the leap from Rhode Island to Massachusetts way back in 1999 when she decided to pursue a teaching degree at Boston University. She chose her career in 1987 and is currently teaching high school English to 10th and 12th graders, fulfilling a 6-year-old’s dream at the age of 22, a proclamation that often brings forth snickers from her students.
She became a mother for the first time in 2016 to her daughter Cecilia, then doubled down in late 2018 with the birth of her second daughter, Adelaide. She currently lives with her husband, Jason, their dog, Nanook, their cat, Lanky, and six chickens. They share a home with her parents, who live above them and also provide the most amazing childcare for Ceci and Addie.
Sarah couldn’t live without her family, her insulin pump (shout out to other T1D mamas), and Starbucks iced chai lattes. She could live without angry people, essay grading, and diaper changing.

For the Love of Pockets
Dear clothing designers,
Every time someone compliments a dress I am wearing, I respond, like clockwork, by lifting both arms high in the air and plunging both hands deep into the pockets of said dress,...
Am I Too Old for That?
First, I need to let you all know I do not have Snapchat. I also do not have TikTok. I think I have a Twitter account, but I'm not really sure how to use...
5 Years, 5 Lessons
I’ve been a mother for five years now, and I pretty much consider myself an expert. Don’t worry, I’m laughing hysterically at myself. Most (all) days I have no idea what I’m doing. However,...

Saying Goodbye to Lanky
Lanky has been with me for the last 15 years. We've been through a lot together. More than what I've been through with most humans. Lanky is a short-haired black cat I adopted from...

Valentine's Day is especially fun when you're a mom. There's something wonderful about heart-shaped everything. My 4-year-old has even begun to plan our menu for the day, starting with heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast. What's...
Preparing for the Post-Holiday Drop
For me, it is inevitable: Every year after the holidays, I experience a drop. I feel sadder, more irritable, exhausted, and a little withdrawn. And it makes sense, if you really think about it.
