A bit about Sarah Buckley
Hi friend! I’m Sarah. I’m a mother, artist and edible flower enthusiast. Earthly things I cherish: Rose gardens. Going to the mountains. The smell of freshly cut grass. Taking a bubble bath. Going on a hike with my family. Foraged finds. Vintage kitchenware. A bouquet of lilacs. Handwritten letters in the mail.
Frolic & Fare is a platform for inspiring and empowering individuals to turn their dreams into reality, one handmade creation at a time.
What I do
Our kitchen is a celebration of nature, where fresh herbs and edible flowers are transformed into extraordinary dishes. We prioritize local, whole ingredients and blend traditional cooking techniques with modern flair.
My wishes
I yearn for a reality where creative expression is accessible to all. Perhaps I’m overly optimistic, but I believe it’s possible. As an ordinary mom from the East Coast living out my artistic dreams, I hope to inspire you to do the same. I dream of a world where everyone enjoys the simple pleasures of organic food, beautiful flowers, and peaceful meals. It’s a privilege many take for granted. Let’s ignite that magic within ourselves and share it with the world. We all possess an innate spark, waiting to be kindled. Trust your intuition and let it guide you. If my words have inspired you even a little, my goal is achieved.

What inspired your blog?
The birth of my second child, my son Patrick. I wanted to grow something for myself 🙂 other than my children. An act of selfishness. A baby to nurture and develop that was truly my own.
How did you learn how to blog?
Just like anything, you start with no knowledge, and make every mistake in the book until you find your voice. I started as a DIY blog. Sharing recipes of all sorts. I decided to niche into food, specifically edible flowers because it was what I was most passionate about. I could talk about food and flowers all day.
How did you learn photography?
I practiced each and every day until I felt I had developed my own style. I learned to shoot manual, understanding the exposure triangle to become a better technical photographer to maximize photo shoots. I learned to understand and appreciate light, composition and color theory.
Is blogging your career?
Amazingly, yes. It is possible to share what you love the most with the world and live comfortably. We all set our own standards of what that means to us. I love what I do. I feel like a child each day, excited to play, create, and bring new ideas to light.
Where do you live?
Our family moves fairly regularly for my husband’s career (every 3 years). We are currently living in Muscat, Oman. A wonderful, beautiful gem of a place. We are American, and call Washington DC “home”.
