Hi, I’m Sarah. Yes – Sarah, not Zarah. But I do sometimes use Zarah as my superhero/alter ago/blogger/commenter/twitter name.
I am a municipal attorney by day; I spend the rest of my time as a wife, mama, friend, sister, runner, newbie weightlifter, knitter, reader, United Methodist, Project Life scrapbooker, black-thumb gardener, terrible but enthusiastic dancer, and healthy/hippie cook and baker. I have been married to Matt, my college sweetheart, for 12 years and I have two sons — Josiah, 4, and Sam, 8 months.
I am a lifelong Missouri girl, except for one year in college when I lived in Pamplona, Spain. (No, I didn’t run with the bulls — that’s pure insanity — but I did watch from a safe distance.)
I started this as a knitting blog, but these days I write a little about a lot of topics: my family, cooking, faith, fitness, and occasionally some decorating/organizing projects around the house. I hope to inspire more people to cook healthy foods and sit down to eat family meals. I also participate in a few link-ups on a regular basis, like What I’m Into, Twitterature, and One Community.
You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, dailymile, instagram, and Ravelry.
You might be wondering – what’s up with my blog name, Beauty School Dropout? I didn’t drop out of beauty school. (Or even attend, for that matter.) I named the blog after my favorite song from the musical Grease. Gotta love some vintage Travolta, right? (Oh Saaaaan-dee….)
Thank you so much for stopping by! I love to interact with my readers, so please leave a comment if you have any questions or suggestions for posts!
How exciting! This is my first time to be on your site. I learned about it through the October Unprocessed pledge. Enjoyed surfing your site.
Thanks for commenting, Jean! I’m really looking forward to the Unprocessed challenge, although it’s probably going to be harder than I think! I am also going to try to blog 31 Days of Eating Unprocessed during the month of October.
Hey! Came across your blog bia Bianca’s post today on gratitude/sisters in spirit thing. Looking forward to reading more!
The fact that you named your blog after a song in a musical makes me love you immediately!

Spain! I lived there as well, such a wonderful country.
Yes, I really enjoyed it (when I wasn’t feeling homesick.) =) Thanks for stopping by, Roni!
Hey girl! I’m in Independence, MO outside of KC.
