Welcome to Joy in the Commonplace! I’m so happy you stopped by! I’m Sarina, a wife and mom of 5, party & brand stylist, blogger, and a follower of Jesus.
I started my blog Joy in the Commonplace back in 2016 inspire others to throw fun and simple parties! Why did I choose my blog name? Basically I wanted to share about finding joy in everyday life and celebrating the little things.
Whether that involves adding sprinkles to your pancakes or throwing a big bash, my blog has a little something for everyone. I love to share party ideas, DIYs, gifts, holiday parties and simple recipes!
My family and I live in rural, eastern South Dakota.
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!)
Normally I tend to be a bit obsessive about keeping my house tidy and organized, but it when it comes to parties.. I’m totally fine with confetti!
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 8. 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 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.
