It’s definitely been a minute [more like a year and a half] since I last blogged… 😱 How did that happen?! Well you see what happened was… haha… this blog led me to start a business and then along the way I had some babies and the business grew a lot and the blog got put on the back burner. I have been itching to get back to writing and this creative outlet for so so soooo long.
Read MoreYesterday was the first day in over a year that I’ve blogged… how did that happen?! Oh, I know, I had a baby and grew a small business! I posted on Instagram last night how I don’t know how to fit blogging back into my life at this time but I do miss it incredibly. And now here I am at the laptop about 12 hours later typing out some more thoughts, haha. So who knows, I’ll just go with it and see.
Read MoreIn case you hadn’t heard… we’re expecting!! A baby boy is set to join us in February and we are over the moon excited to meet him! Additionally, we’ve had lots of other life updates so I figured it was time for the latest installment of Life Lately…
Read MoreEarlier in the year, I wrote a post about how we decided to do a Contentment / Debt Challenge for six months. It’s been a few months since we wrapped up that challenge and I’m happy to report it went very well! I thought I’d type up a little recap for anyone interested in learning more about what this looked like.
Read MoreI know I’ve been a little MIA but it’s for good reason. We’re going after our goals in 2021 and crushing it.

Read MoreA “Christmas letter” (blog post) seemed like the best way to share all the Stillwell updates from the year. The following is written by Sarah. So here’s our story of 2020. It’s a long one. You might want to pop some popcorn and grab a drink.
Read MoreI’m typing this post as we travel up the highway to visit family and Darrell just asked (not knowing what I’m typing about) “What would you think if you woke up and realized everything that had happened in 2020 was just a dream? A long, crazy dream?” Wow. I’m really not sure. That’s a lot to unpack. We agreed we’d be extremely confused, haha. But seriously, I’m pretty sure a lot of us had a year that seems surreal in many ways. It is easy to get caught up in what would’ve / could’ve / should’ve been and I’d be lying if I said I haven’t struggled with those thoughts this year.
Read MoreI opened an Etsy shop!!! If you follow along on Instagram, you know last week I teased about some of the “projects” in the works for my husband and I. This week I shared the news about one of those projects - my Etsy shop and brand Grace & Grandeur! If you love bows as much as I do, you should check it out! I am selling luxe handmade velvet bows for ladies and girls!
Read MoreThis year was the first time since college when I served as an Election Day poll worker. It’s an experience I encourage every American to do at least once. Not only does it provide immense gratitude and pride to live in this great nation but it is amazing to be a part of the process and learn what all takes place to carry out democracy at it’s very essence.
