If someone asked you what you want for your birthday…

would “just be there” be enough?

In this episode of Sarah’s Bedtime Stories, I talk about the gift of presence—showing up for birthdays, milestones, and even ordinary days. The kind of love that doesn’t always come in words or wrapped gifts, but in being there.

This is a story about friends who choose to show up. About quiet celebrations, shared songs, and moments where you don’t need to talk to feel loved. About realizing that sometimes, presence really is the present.

If you believe that being there matters more than gifts, you might want to read my books too.

Have you ever remembered something special…but couldn’t remember how it felt anymore?

In this episode of Sarah’s Bedtime Stories, I talk about missing childhood in a quiet way. The kind of missing that shows up when you watch old films, think about summer break, or remember the Kiddo you used to be.

Inspired by Studio Ghibli films, I look back on kiddo summers—playing outside, watching cartoons, having small crushes, and enjoying days that felt slow and happy.

As we grow up, some feelings slowly fade. Not because they were not real, but because life changes. People move away. Schedules change. We grow.

This episode is about remembering without forcing the feeling back. About knowing that even if the feeling is gone, the childhood was still good. Still real. Still part of you.

If you love stories that will remind you of moments in your childhood, you might want to read my books too 🤍

Have you ever looked at an old photo and suddenly smiled without knowing why?

In this episode of Sarah’s Bedtime Stories, I go back to old pictures, ordinary days, and the versions of me I once kept hidden. Moments I didn’t think were special back then, but later realized were proof of life—proof of how I lived, loved, and grew.

This is a gentle reminder that the present is precious, even when it feels normal. That selfies, journals, and small moments matter more than we think.
