Welcome to A Growing Home! I’m Sarah, I’m a mom of 5 young kids. We are Asian-American, Catholic, and we’ve made our home in the Silicon Valley. I’m all about being intentional in all aspects of our lives. From the big important things like thoughtfully raising our kids with a strong ethnic identity, to the smaller things, like trying to find the most eco-friendly, zero waste shampoo. I’m really excited you’re here to explore these things with me.
