After gaining her degree and the birth of her second child, Sackville began to have articles accepted in newspapers and parenting magazines. Soon was writing regularly for multiple publications, including a regular column in the Australian Jewish News for 12 years.

Her writing career took off while she still had young children, but faced an 18-month hiatus due to a loss in the family in 2007. She got back to writing by using Twitter and eventually started her blog [https://lifeandothercrises.blogspot.com/ Life & Other Crises] in 2009, which she ran until 2016.

A major theme of her work is embracing imperfection, both in domestic life and the personal realm. Sackville has published five books, and contributed to other published works.
