Sarah Lipoff is mom to a busy two-year-old daughter and wife to a talented (and patient) photographer husband. Before becoming a mom, she taught kids of all ages the wonders of art and how awesome it is to be creative. So with a wee tot of her own, together they make lots of messy art projects and stir things up in the kitchen. A San Francisco Bay Area resident for 12 years and a Get it Guide Guru for Yahoo! Shine, Sarah loves spending time searching out and trying the coolest stuff (and the best tasting chocolate) and sharing it all on her blog.
