Hey there! We’re “Stecky,” which is what happens when you mash up the delightful chaos of Stephanie Hillberry and Becky Crawley into one name. We’re both in our mid-forties, went to Christian colleges, worked in ministry, and somehow both “ended up” in marketing (because God has a sense of humor). We even worked in Christian publishing together in the same department.

We’re also eccentric hobbyists—think minimalism, bullet journaling, homesteading, composting, and knitting. Basically, we’re your quirky, modern homesteaders who could probably whip up a batch of kombucha while balancing a bullet journal in one hand and knitting socks with the other. Oh, and we’ve both gone through socially awkward phases where we swore off shampoo and antiperspirant, so yeah… that was a thing. Add to that, we both drive Honda CRVs (cue the “meh”) and—most importantly—we love Jesus!

Now, here’s where we’re different (because no duo is complete without some contrast, right?):

• Steph has superhuman discipline, like the kind that makes you wonder if she’s secretly a robot. Becky? Not so much—discipline tends to come and go, usually when chocolate is involved.
• Becky could run a small country in her free time. Steph, on the other hand, requires a nap by 3 p.m. or she might malfunction.
• Steph loves working out. Becky would love it too… if she weren’t so prone to injury. It’s like her body is made of fragile china.
• Becky’s a visionary. She can take an idea and make it a reality faster than you can say “deadline.” Steph? Well, let’s just say she likes to “ruminate” (a.k.a. procrastinate) before getting to the point.
• Steph has been married since she was 22 (wow, right?). Becky is divorced, remarried, and way more skilled at conflict resolution. Steph avoids conflict like it’s a cardio class.
• Writing? Steph’s fantastic at it. Becky has lots of great words… they just tend to come out backwards and upside down on the page.

Together, we’re a hot mess of love, laughter, and Jesus—with just enough chaos to keep things interesting.
