Hi, I'm Sarah Rhodes.

In lieu of a non-exciting about page - let’s freshen things up, shall we?

I’m Sarah, lead designer and owner of Paro Home, based in Phoenix, AZ.

Josh and I have 3 kids- ages 7, 5, & 2. The 2 year old is a dictator.

My current favorite fast food lunch is Salad and Go! Get the Caprese salad and an Arnold Palmer with basil lemonade. So freaking good.

When I can’t sleep at night, I look at vintage rugs on eBay.

I’ve also been learning the world of the stock market! I use Robinhood and it makes buying stocks and options really clear and easy. If you use my link to join, we both get a free share!

My coffee drink is an iced oat milk latte! As the seasons are changing though, I’ve been doing lots of cafes au lait for cold mornings. I found a Nespresso machine at a thrift store this year for $10, and it was the best thing to happen to our budget this year.

We are currently in the middle of doing our own addition. I feel all the feels that all my clients feel! It’s fun to see it happen every day from the ground up on this side of things.

Podcasts I’ve been into lately: Crime Junkie, How I Built This, & Supernatural. The top 2 Podcasts I always recommend are Cold (for true crime) and The Way I Heard It (for well-written, true stories in a short format).

MUSIC: this changes every day and every season. Right? I think with election season, things have felt so overwhelming that I either don’t want to think about what to listen to, or I just want to listen to music I’m familiar with. I made a playlist at the beginning of quarantine that I have on repeat - Coronavirus House Arrest (links to Spotify if you’d like to follow it).

With the kids being out of school, so much of my time is juggled between being with the kiddos and getting my work in. Proud to say that after 8 months of this… my life is still a wreck. ;) I think us working moms have gotten the shortest stick here and it hasn’t gotten easier. If you know any working moms, give them some extra grace.
