Do What Makes You Happy #STYS

we have been asked the following lately- how did you come up with stys? when did you come up with it? and lastly how did any of you find time to put the blog together? we can't pinpoint when we came up with stys. it was trial and error of searching for urls we felt good about (and lots of bottles of wine). but you can read our first post to find out why we started it. the last question makes us laugh. we have no idea when we find the time, but we make it work. we all juggle full time jobs, a busy social calendar, family outings, and so much more, but somewhere between the fun craziness... we find the time for stys and it makes us happy.

we are overwhelmed and blown away by our family, friends, and people we don't even know (yet) in the uk, south africa, costa rica, switzerland... and the stys audience list goes on & on. we've received the nicest fb messages, texts, emails, and phone calls thanking us for putting together a blog that people can really relate to. one of our favorite messages was from our cousin in regard to c's blog post screen shot. our cousin is a writer and said one of the biggest things you can do as a writer is make someone else feel too. thank you cuz ;)

whether it's our best girlfriends, people we haven't heard from in years via fb, guy friends (yes, we said guy friends), or people we don't even know yet sharing how they feel after reading stys- a BIG thank you. your kind words and messages mean so much to us. we are doing this because it makes us happy. if you find someone that makes you happy, hold onto them. if you find people who are genuinely happy for you when you have good news, never let them go. if your job doesn't get you out of the bed in the morning, figure out why and make a change. if you care about someone, tell them. if you have an amazing idea, share it. if you want to start a blog, do it. we can't believe in a blink of an eye it's going to be 2014. life goes quickly, especially when you're juggling many things. but do what makes you happy. we swear the juggling of 100 things won't be half as hard. love what you do and do it everyday. #stys

again, a big thank you to all. happy sunday!

xx,
k, s, & c
