From My Hearth to Yours
Hi, I’m Melissa—mama, homemaker, and the heart behind Sunshine & Sage.
I started this blog as a way to share the quiet work of home: the meals that stretch, the messes we clean, the small joys we make room for in between. I know what it’s like to build a life on a tight budget—to feel stretched thin and still want beauty, rhythm, and care in your days. This space is for the stay-at-home moms, the soft-hearted scrappers, and anyone trying to create a life that feels like home, even when resources are limited.
Here you’ll find seasonal homemaking routines, gentle content planning help, cozy meal ideas, and encouragement for crafting a slower, more intentional life. I write about what’s real—both the magic and the mess—because I believe homemaking is sacred work, even when it doesn’t look picture-perfect.
Sunshine & Sage is a blend of warmth and wisdom, heart and how-to. It’s where practicality meets poetry, where we honor the softness it takes to keep going, and the strength it takes to keep choosing love, even when it’s hard.
Whether you’re here for a simple dinner recipe, a little encouragement, or a rhythm to help your days feel steadier—you’re welcome here.
This is a home for the tender and the tired, the capable and the dreaming. I’m so glad our paths crossed.
With love,
Melissa
