Hi, I’m Sarah Mitchell — suburban home blogger, mom of two, and the writer behind every post on Home Hackly. I live just outside Columbus, Ohio, in a four-bedroom house I share with my husband, two kids, and a very food-motivated golden retriever.
I started this blog in 2026 after one too many friends asked me the same questions: “What pressure cooker is actually worth the money?”, “How do you keep your fridge from smelling?”, “Where do you find decor that doesn’t cost a fortune?”
Most home-tip blogs out there copy each other and never actually test anything. So I decided to do the opposite — test every hack in my own kitchen, photograph the real results (good and bad), and share advice that respects a normal family budget instead of “buy this $500 air purifier” filler.
What you’ll find here:
- Tested kitchen and cleaning hacks — every method tried in my actual house before I write about it
- Honest appliance reviews — I tell you what broke, what disappointed, and what’s actually worth the money
- Budget-friendly home decor — Target, Wayfair, and Amazon picks, not Restoration Hardware
- Family living tips — managing a household of four without losing your mind
Every photo on this site comes from my own home or is properly licensed. No AI-generated rooms, no faked “before/after” images, no stock photography pretending to be my kitchen.
If something I recommend doesn’t work for you, write to me at [email protected] — I read every reader email and answer most within 48 hours.
Thanks for being here,
— Sarah
