May. In coffee (& tea). In Cincy. ☕️

Photo 1: I had a drip, plus some sort of seasonal cappuccino that was incredible from — I wish I could remember which one, but the vibes were perfectly whimsical & friendly. I also got a bag of beans and… 😚👌 no notes.

Photo 2: macchiato from on 4th (always great).

Photo 3: macchiato & espresso with tiramisu cream from .elliott / GF bread from (can’t wait to go back here).

Photo 4: americano from

Photo 5: loose tea from .mercantile

Photo 6: cocoa noir cortado from (delicious, super cute, & extra perks for being close to Washington Park).

Photo 7: Kentucky coffee from (such a cute, new shop & they had the best loaded tots/apps).

Photo 8: “the best” chocolate milk for Enzo & a dirty iced chai for me from, plus the cutest doodle from the barista 🐘

Photo 9: the same .mercantile “Aries” loose leaf tea from photo 5, but iced this time. With muddled blueberries, cucumbers, mint, and honey. Topped with sparkling water. (10/10)

ᴍᴇʀʀʏ ᴄʜʀɪsᴛᴍᴀs🎄❤️☕️

Just popping by with a quick and easy hot cocoa recipe I can’t stop making this holiday season.

And also to say hi, I miss you all!

I always use regular milk when I make my cocoa. But we ran out of it the night we were decorating the tree and I stumbled upon an even creamier way to make it: with coconut milk.

& now I’m obsessed. I’m sure many of you have been doing this for years. But I was missing out!

ʜᴏᴛ ᴄᴏᴄᴏᴀ ʀᴇᴄɪᴘᴇ ☕️❤️🤶🏼:
1can of coconut milk (13.5fl oz)
Equal parts water (13.5fl oz)
1-2 TBS pure maple syrup (or more to taste)
1 heaping TBS of cocoa powder
1-2 handfuls of chocolate chips of choice (very specific, I know)
1 capful of peppermint extract (or more to taste)

ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴs:
Add all ingredients minus the chocolate chips and extract to a sauce pan.
Stir til smooth.
Bring to a nice simmer.
Add chocolate chips and continue heating and stirring!
I let mine barely come to a boil before removing from heat and adding the peppermint extract.
Pour into holiday mugs and enjoy!

Optional Toppings:
•obviously: crushed candy canes & marshmallows
OR
•ᴘᴇᴘᴘᴇʀᴍɪɴᴛ ᴡʜɪᴘᴘᴇᴅ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴍ: heavy whipping cream, 1-2tsp peppermint extract, the teeny tiny marshmallows (not the “mini” marshmallows, but the dehydrated ones!), candy cane bits, and maple syrup to taste

ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ! It really is the creamiest, silkiest hot cocoa I’ve ever made & the leftovers save perfectly in the fridge to reheat later.

Lots of love to you this holiday season,
Sarah 🧚🏻‍♀️

ᴄᴀʀʙ ʟᴏᴠᴇʀs --

𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘰 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘺 🥐 & 𝘴𝘰 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵

I’m still here, just have had to make some changes for myself and my family.

I’ve made the tough decision not to vend at/re-apply to the Heirloom Farmer’s Market (nor any of the other large markets in town) like I’d hoped to this fall.
For no reason other than that my health is not where I need it to be to safely say I can commit to regular attendance quite yet.
I’ve missed being a part of it so much these past several months, and am so grateful to have been a part of such a wonderful Farmer’s Market family at all.

As I heal further, I do hope to have some impromptu bake sales or even do a pop up here and there. But I did want to be transparent with you all that there will not be one steady location, or open online orders, for quite some time still.

Thank you for any and all support you’ve given me.

I miss seeing you all!

If you’re interested in staying connected, I’ll still be here on Instagram--posting periodically, as well as sharing a bit more over on my blog & my Substack.

(I’ll make sure all the links are up to date on my bio so you can find me there 💛)

Lots of love,
Sarah

ʟɪғᴇ ʟᴀᴛᴇʟʏ:

canceled plans (& markets… boy, do I miss you guys 🫶),
silly smiles,
rest, rest, rest,
joy and laughter,
doctor visits,
coffee “breaks”,
puppy cuddles,
& ʜᴜɢᴇ reminders to myself that worth is not defined by productivity.

I’ve leaned into the recognition that my body needs a break.

I’ve put every ounce of energy I have towards special moments with my family (whether directly, or indirectly through working extremely hard to heal & recover 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮) 💗

& I genuinely believe that though Lyme Disease is “chronic”, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 is simply a season. I’ve said it before but will say it again—life will always be a bit different with/because of CLD. But I don’t think it will always be like 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.

Because I’m putting in the time and energy now with endless doctor visits, treatments, testing, etc...
the fatigue 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 fade,
the symptoms 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 ease up,
walking won’t be so 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵,
my brain won’t feel so 𝘧𝘶𝘻𝘻𝘺,
my chest won’t feel so 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘺,
& I’ll be able to get back to any and all activities and work that I choose to do.

I’ll continue to grow through what I’m going through—with and for my family. And I’ll continue to see light, joy and life’s {not so little} glimmers in each and every day. Because the physical pain and discomforts do not take away from life’s beauty. They cohabitate along side it.

Happy Lyme Disease Awareness Month 💚

For anyone who may have a loved one with Lyme, here are some of my favorite accounts that give amazing perspective and information on what it’s like to live with Lyme:

04/04/2025

It isn’t in my nature to…
move slowly;
take breaks;
ask for help;
be stagnant;
think (more like 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯) first and act later;
or, wait for opportunities to come my way.

It 𝘪𝘴 in my nature to…
power through the s**t;
run full steam ahead;
figure it all out on my own;
and, face struggle with open arms… I’m always ready to fight, what can I say?

So, 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, my body is teaching me a lesson that must be, well, a 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵. I’m learning, slowly I’ll admit, to, well, 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧*𝘤𝘬 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯.

I’ve been battling chronic illnesses for several years now. And my nature kept telling me that with each “good” day, I was better. I was healed. “Over the hump”, as they say.

But that’s simply not how chronic illnesses work. Healing isn’t linear. It isn’t even always absolute. And that’s ok.

So, I’m reframing how I view my healing. Because, quite honestly, it’s not the same for chronic illness as it often is for healthy individuals. And that’s ok.

It doesn’t mean I’ll be sick forever. But it does mean I will have lifestyle changes, boundaries, and adaptations. And that’s ok.

Chronic illness is confusing. They didn’t coin the term “invisible illness” for nothing. They didn’t coin the term “seeing is believing” for nothing either. And I’ll just let that stew for a moment…

But I have finally processed enough of the impacts of my own chronic illnesses to accept that I DO need a break. A real one this time.

✨ So that’s what this post is, a transparent insight into why ᴄᴀʀʙs & ᴄᴏғғᴇᴇ ᴄᴏ. is on hold. ✨

With that said, a huge part of healing for me is in creating. And I don’t know exactly what that will look like over the next few months. But I’ll be excited to share those things as they come to life.

Lastly—and, as always, when I speak candidly about my health—I do not post this for any sort of sympathy. But rather for transparency and (in the off chance that anyone made it this far into this caption) for others that may be in similar circumstances to feel a sense of community during times of isolation, confusion and frustration.

Lots of love,
𝘚𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘩 💛
