Welcome to Joy in the Commonplace! I’m Sarina, a wife and mom of 5, an event designer, party & lifestyle blogger, and a follower of Jesus.
As an event designer, I’d love to decorate for your event if you live in my local area! (near Hayti, South Dakota) Mostly, I specialize in smaller scale events like kids’ birthdays, baby showers, gender reveals or other special occasions! Please check out my services page for more details!
As a blogger, I share my creative ideas like DIYs, party ideas, holiday events, and easy recipes on www.joyinthecommonplace.com. I started my blog in 2016 to inspire others to celebrate every day life! Whether that involves adding sprinkles to your pancakes or throwing a fun party, my blog has a little bit for everyone.
My Passion
When I’m not busy with motherhood duties, you can find me styling parties for my kids’ birthdays and holiday events. (I’ll find any excuse I can to throw a party!)
I love love love to bring people together to hang out and celebrate! There’s nothing to better than seeing my family and friends relax and have a good time. I’m definitely in my element when I’m in my hostess role!
Take a peek at my parties and other creative ideas on my blog!
My Family
God and family are my main priorities. I’m married to my best friend and we have 5 children, under the age of 9. We moved into our dream home in 2016, a 100 year old farm house on 26 acres.
Living the country life has taught me to slow down, soak up the moments with family and the beauty of the outdoors. We have a big back yard that is perfect for hosting events.
My husband Reuben has been my constant support since I’ve started my business and blog. He’s always willing to help out with the kids, assist with my party set ups, create wooden props and backdrop etc. etc. He has encouraged me to keep going and pursuing my passions! For that I am so thankful.
