About Me

Family Life

Hi, I’m Sarah Monaghan — a Manchester-based mum, content creator and lifelong lover of all things theatre, Disney and creativity.

​

I’m a mum to two wonderful children, Alice and Leo, and together with my husband Lawrence, we love documenting our family adventures, from days out and parties to crafts, baking and discovering new experiences together.

​

Family life is at the heart of everything I do, and I love capturing the little everyday moments just as much as the big days out. From cosy weekends at home to exploring new places, this blog is all about real family life and the memories we make along the way.

​

​

Theatre

Alongside family life, theatre is a huge part of who I am. I run the theatre blog All About Theatre UK, where I review shows across the North of England and the West End, attending press nights, previews and tours.

​

Theatre has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and I love sharing that magic with my children — whether it’s their first trip to a show, watching their reactions in the audience, or discovering new family-friendly productions together.

​

From big West End musicals to local touring shows, theatre is something that continues to inspire me both personally and creatively.

​

​

Learning, Curiosity & Neurodiversity

I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences and a Master’s degree in Biomedical and Forensic Egyptology, which means I’ve always had a love for science, learning and museums.

​

It’s why we’re often visiting museums and why I enjoy coming up with fun, hands-on science experiments and educational activities to do with the kids at home. I love finding ways to make learning feel exciting, accessible and part of everyday life.

​

I’m also dyslexic and autistic, and both of my children are on the autism pathway. Neurodiversity is a big part of our family life and shapes the way we experience the world — from how we enjoy theatre and days out, to how we approach learning, creativity and everyday routines.

​

It’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about sensory-friendly experiences, accessible spaces, and finding fun, inclusive activities that work for our whole family.
