If you’ve landed on this blog and thought, “Wait—who’s writing this?” — this post is for you. Or maybe you’ve been here before and just want a refresher on who’s behind these family-focused posts. Either way, let’s catch up.

We’re Tiffany and Derrone. Husband and wife. Parents. Imperfect people who are trying our best every day to love each other, raise kind and God-fearing kids, and share what we learn along the way.

This blog started as a place to write down ideas, share parenting wins (and fails), and talk about things that matter to us—like marriage, routines that actually work, and staying grounded in faith.

What You’ll Find Here

We're not experts or influencers—we’re just like you. Trying to manage life, parenthood, and personal growth one day at a time.

Here’s the kind of content we share:

• Family Life – Simple things we do as a family to stay connected, manage the household, and make memories without breaking the bank.
• Parenting Talk – From gentle reminders to real-life lessons, this is where we share what we’re learning as mom and dad.
• Faith First – God is at the center of everything we do. You’ll see that reflected in our posts—whether it’s scriptures that encouraged us or thoughts on trusting Him in hard seasons.
• Dad’s Corner – Bates brings in his perspective as a father, creator, and tech-lover. He’ll be sharing more of what that looks like in everyday life.

We try to keep everything practical, honest, and encouraging. Life is hard enough without being overwhelmed by information or guilt-tripped by comparison. We’re not here for that.

A Little More About Us

Tiffany is the nurturing, grounded, steady one—always thinking ahead and always putting family first. Derrone is the creative, idea guy—into music, tech, and turning life lessons into something meaningful.

We both love a good plan, a real conversation, and creating something that helps people.

We’re raising two beautiful kids and learning what it really means to live with purpose. Our goal? To build a legacy of love, faith, and wisdom that lasts far beyond us.

Why We Started Sheri & Bates

This blog was born out of late-night talks, deep reflection, and a desire to share what we’re learning about marriage, parenting, and purpose. We don’t claim to have all the answers—but we do believe in walking together in truth, love, and faith.

Whether it’s a lesson learned during a hard season, a moment of laughter amid the chaos, or simple tools that help us stay organized and connected—this blog is our way of bringing you into our real life.
