About Sierra and Stephen IRL
Hey friends! I’m Sierra Schultzzie and this is my vlog channel with my husband, Stephen. We started vlogging 5 years ago to document planning our wedding and growing together as a young married couple, and the channel has now really become our passion project. We love creating travel vlogs, disneyland vlogs, showing behind the scenes of creating my fashion and lifestyle videos, and all the little ups and downs of our unfiltered, real life. We loved documenting our journey trying to concieve and getting pregnant, are now so happy to be sharing our experience as first time parents to our daughter, Grace.

• prepping for christmas...

[@lowkeylola88]

I don't usually like family vloggers (not that you are) but I really enjoy you, Stephen and Grace (and Bella and Bruiser!) You are the cutest family. It feel so authentic and I adore how much you love each other, it shows through a lot in your videos. Merry Christmas!

[@terenlarge]

I'm going to be relying a lot more on this kind of festive content to keep my spirits up as my brother came home for christmas yesterday and tested positive for covid this morning. Meaning christmas in our house is essentially cancelled. Thankfully he's not feeling too bad and seems to have a mild case. Just wanted to thank you for making these videos every year and especially this year!

[@lexieharrison299]

We have the flu so we’re stuck at home too 😔😢

[@abigailrobinson]

I feel for you! I have the flu and it just really sucks

[@terenlarge]

@@lexieharrison299 Oh no, sending well wishes to you and your family!

[@terenlarge]

@@abigailrobinson hope you feel better soon and allow yourself some rest ☺️

[@outoftheklosset]

Oh, no! At least ya'll know so everyone can quarantine the 10 days and keep others safe. I hope your brother recovers quickly and you all luck out not getting it. Sending lots of love and support.💐

[@coachkira]

I love how you talk to Grace, the tummy time moments are so sweet. You are such an empowering mom 💜💜🙏🏾

[@maryana2733]

Omg Grace sitting up in the shopping cart is so cute she’s grown sm 🥺

[@kendrarounds1993]

Steven’s comment about the cold… 😂😂😂 It’s a high of 25 here in Michigan today!

[@mariaolker]

I know. I was just thinking that 52° is short weather here in Illinois.

[@emily-anneobrien740]

As someone without kids but lots of nieces and a nephew its like adorable to watch her grow up. You really capture the things that seem so big to a first time parent and I love it

[@kaliaatwell6285]

Grace is Stephens twin!! They look just alike, but I can definitely see more of Sierra when she does her wide little smile. She is gorgeous.

[@sublimeloveful]

I was JUST listening to your podcast yesterday about how you and Stephen met at Disneyland and went to see Christmas lights on your first date. And now all these years later here you are doing the same with your daughter. 🥲

[@shelial5852]

I miss the podcast 😭

[@hannah-gracehamilton7237]

It’s so cool that a lot of us wonder what our life looked like when we were really young and Grace will be able to look back at these to watch. Love your content it’s a total comfort to me :)

[@sarahb.2707]

I love how Grace always has books to play with! If you haven't already; get her some of the "Don't touch a..." books. They're adorable rhyming books but with silicone sensory/texture panels for her to touch. My daughter is obsessed with hers

[@TheMishka8]

You playing with Grace and Bella was so wholesome and so filled with love 😍😍

[@cherbow_9443]

Her little legs kicking during tummy time are the absolute sweetest 🥰 I miss my babies bring that small. It’s amazing watching her grow! Lots of love ❤️

[@AS-rk5zz]

This has to be the most smiley baby Iv ever seen. So curious content , real Bundle of joy 🥰

[@glorytowers0562]

I’m a Minnesotan so the temperature discussion at 4:54 made me smile

[@Lizziel23]

I was so confused when you said bruschetta and picked up a tub - in Europe bruschetta is bread with some type of sauce/chopped veg on (can be a variety of things) but the bread being the consistent thing!

[@Sing4me22]

Also me: seeing you restocked the confident and kind band tees…..IMMEDIATELY leaving the video to purchase mine because I waited last time and missed out. IM SO EXCITED 💛

[@solevazquezmaria]

What is bruschetta in the US? In Italy it is like toasted bread scraped with olive oil and garlic. Sometimes something else but always toast

[@shaunalee7826]

Messy buns are literally my favorite hairstyle ever, I think they look so cute on everyone!!

[@CorinneBlackstone]

haha no trust me there are limos all over Ohio for people to look at Christmas lights. Its totally normal here

[@ninaasf-ck]

Limos? Really? I'm from Ohio and have never seen this 😂 Where exactly are people doing this? I'm curious!

[@CorinneBlackstone]

@@ninaasf-ck we have a ton of places here in northeast Ohio and people take limos. The magic of lights at the cuyahoga county fairgrounds and then there are big displays you can take limo tours to see all over the north east

[@dollhouse1298]

I LOVE that limo Santa responded to you. This all looks so fun!

[@chrisstone3455]

I’m surprised the US doesn’t have parent parking, all supermarkets in the UK have them, they are sorta 2 spaces to enable easy access etc xx

[@teagan8908]

We have a wrapping paper bin as well as a bow bin. So we have tons of different papers under the tree at Christmas. I'm also 100% confident there are bows a wrapping paper from when I was at least 8, 10 years ago 😂

[@outoftheklosset]

Yeah, I was told that we have likely enough wrapping paper to last our lifetimes!🤣 Whoops!

[@GothicTurtle13]

I hope you and your family have a absolutely wonderful holiday!

[@AnniCarlsson]

When you sit in Sweden with -11. 2 fahrenheit and hear how cold the 52 felt. Different worlds

[@jbcircus]

That's soo stinking cute that u had ur first date there n now ur taking grace 😭😭🥰🥰

[@yaniquetamasar8705]

Grace just keeps getting even more beautiful each time I see her little face😍

[@findingmyhappyplace]

What a sweet family and Grace is adorable... especially when she looks into the camera.

[@truecollar9059]

This was just so festive, I love it! Hope Skylar and her family are doing well ❤️

[@kristiann8122]

I hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas and enjoy every second of celebrating with Grace for her very first one! 🎄🥰

[@starrfish-pg3wx]

PSA...As a little add on to the carseat problem. A gentle reminder from someone that has 2 kids in wheelchairs, please be observant and courteous to handicap vans and handicap parking spots. It has happened multiple times that we cant let the ramp down and makes things even more difficult that it has to be. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

[@Bandofgold]

I just went on an 1.5hr walk with my baby in -7c (19f) weather! Steven is soft 😆

[@outoftheklosset]

That seems like a lot of work making sure baby is warm enough.😳 I'd be exhausted before the walk itself!😝

[@630bush]

Me in Michigan freezing my butt off at 27 degrees... wouldn't have it any other way for Christmas. But man 50 degrees I would be wearing shorts 😉

[@AnniCarlsson]

Sitting in Sweden with - 11. 2 fahrenheit here

[@630bush]

@@AnniCarlsson oh man. I know that coldness!!! 27 degrees would feel like spring to you right now🤪

[@christinawrobel4869]

So nice you and your friends have kids in similar ages to celebrate together. It will only get better as the kids start playing with their toys and running around. Would love to see Skylar and her family in a quick clip! I know she doesn't want to be online regularly. Being in NY state, 52 degrees would be warm and no coats! I always try to have at least one extra roll of wrapping paper to not worry about running out. A solid color, polka dots or reversible to use the rest of the year if needed.

[@Sing4me22]

When you catch the upload 3 minutes after it’s posted. Ugh just love you guys so much❤️❤️ thanks for making my day! Happy Christmas faaaaam!

[@sydneyhaenzi3481]

As an Iowan we would be in shorts in that 50 degree weather. Merry Christmas!!

[@jenniferpearlman3829]

i love you and your family so much!! you guys bring so much joy to people! i hope you have the best Christmas

[@jennadark9517]

I’m currently binging vlogmas from start to finish and loving it! The 12 days instead of 24 seems to be wayyy less stressful for you! Random question though, did you change the camera or something? It may be in my head but it seems like the quality is different than the last vlogs, not bad but like when you’re not used to a big screen HD tv and you go to a friends house and it just seems more vivid and there’s more motion? Idk if that made any sense 😅 just curious because you have done a video with what tech you’ve been using lately.

[@emmalaine3585]

52 lol thats t-shirt weather! It was 20 here at my house!

[@EstrellaT13]

Miss Grace Bonding With Harlan & Harrison Is The Cutest Thing Ever! 🥺💫

[@traceypajala6938]

The best way to experience Christmas is with little kids. My kids are adults now and though I do try, it honestly kind of sucks. Enjoy every moment when they are little!

[@cbyerchickful]

Best birthday present ever a Sierra and Stephen vlog!

[@laffydaffytaffy]

In Jan I'd love to hear about your journey as a vegetarian. How you started, how PCOS impacts it, pregnancy the pressures of being a mom and getting enough food etc. Would loooove to hear what that was like for you.

[@Lizzy43645]

That TJ bruschetta is heaven on earth and tastes amazing on anything. So now I really gotta go make that dip!

[@breannahorton]

I'm in southwest Missouri and it's common enough to take a limo to see Christmas lights the big places you pay to go have them on the price board. It makes a really nice relatively inexpensive way to get a large group together and hang out while looking at the lights

[@wyckdd]

Christmas wrapping montage now every time I'm gonna do the bark bark noise

[@animeotaku8909]

you should try the Banza chickpea pasta sometime if you haven’t before! i like it more than whole wheat because it’s more protein dense and keeps me fuller longer and the taste is pretty much the same :)

[@alexisflanery1701]

I can’t believe Grace is sitting up in the cart! I got so emotional watching this vlog LOL. I love your little family. So happy for you guys. Grace is so cute!

[@YourDailyDoseofJillish]

52 is warm here 😂 it's in the teens tonight here though, I still haven't warmed up from the ride home from work 2.5 hours ago

[@jess25411]

Love your vlogmas! So happy to see you all are having a wonderful Christmas season 😊🎄💕 just love seeing all the Christmas fun and the kids are so wonderful and so happy they had a fun time seeing the Christmas lights😊🎄

[@ashleystanley7941]

Merry Christmas!!! (Never been this early to one of your videos before! So exciting! I have loved following y'all's Christmas season as a family of 3!!!)

[@moiradoyle1210]

I LOVE the bruschetta creation. I learned the recipe from Trader Joe’s circa 2015 but never tried it with pesto!😛 Amen tik tok to sharing the gloriousness.

[@meganknox9885]

They do the Limo light tours in Tulsa, Oklahoma too lol I’ve never done one but lots of people I know have.

[@elleneastwood7435]

That dip sounds amazing!

[@beth3286]

I always laugh when people on the West Coast think 50 is cold 😂 it was 10 degrees this morning in Connecticut.

[@trishalenon6395]

Grace is SO BIG 🥺 they really do grow up so fast 😩

[@leonasamuel7791]

52? That’s beach weather in Maine! 😉

[@TMB62]

The intro is cracking me up. It was such a cute idea.

[@tyongsbith4046]

Not them saying 52 degrees is cold while I’m sitting here with -40 😀

[@rubeusswagrid6039]

Look at Grace sitting up in the shopping cart like a big girl!

[@Sarah-uq7mz]

Sierra, your hair is SO LONG!! Very pretty!

[@rachelhill2016]

I live in Maryland. And I’ve definitely taken a limo to see Christmas lights lol. But not in a neighborhood just a local park

[@vallic08]

I can't believe how much Christmas stuff is still on the shelves at your Target, mine is bare as of last weekend. They had a single sad shelf of candy

[@susanmoore8074]

I’m in northern Iowa and yesterday was a low of 8 degrees and I’d definitely be willing to trade weather

[@erindixon2877]

Because of San Diego’s location, the humidity makes it feel colder. In Nebraska, we have a dry cold most of the time.

[@niteotter]

Good Lord. How can Grace be so big already?! Happy Christmas!!!

[@bekkakean9498]

I need that statue of frogs playing grab ass its just so iconic

[@shaunaisaJellyBean]

does america not have "mother and baby" car parking spaces? We have them in Ireland. They are basically like disabled paring spaces, close to the door and extra wide for people needing to get strollers etc in and out of the car

[@SierraStephenIRL]

No we don’t, but that sounds amazing! Go Ireland!

[@ArsonBeanTanks]

@@SierraStephenIRL lots of places in Canada have these too. Ive seen them at bigger places like Walmart, Ikea and lots of malls anyway.

[@sarahl6645]

@@SierraStephenIRL we have them in the UK too!

[@shaunaisaJellyBean]

@@ArsonBeanTanks they are more common in bigger places here too but they are almost guaranteed at super markets and big retail warehouse locations. Most newer large developments and shopping malls have them too

[@erikao3982]

We had them where I grew up, just north of Los Angeles!

[@CM-kl5bb]

In my town the street that goes all out for Christmas is nicknamed candy cane lane!🎄

[@josiestyers5784]

I love your family! I'm so happy I found your channel

[@josiestyers5784]

P.s. I finally got my order for your merch and I love the sweatshirt! Although it she'd sooo many fuzzies. Still love it though!

[@outoftheklosset]

Lol 😂 We just got done trying to tetris our wrapping paper roles in their container. Too bad we don't know each other irl otherwise I'd have you pick some up.🤣

[@trin303]

Those wrapping skills are impeccable 😌👌🏽😂

[@daprawat]

TRADER JOES PESTOOOOO! I buy it every time lol

[@liinuuuu]

oh the italians watching this video haha, merry christmas to you either way

[@cocakelady]

We have limos and party busses here in CO that go around and tour xmas lights.

[@sarahrsommer]

I definitely would’ve gone into the store and asked them to make an announcement to get the owner to move their car!

[@Jenroloff]

Hopefully when Grace gets older she will love to wrap like my daughter. She wrapped the majority of the gifts this year 20+. 💗😃

[@am_rosie]

The Santa in the limo has me rolling 😂😂🤣

[@nameunknown5736]

Your wrapping is so pretty. Mine is shameful lol!

[@emvillarreal_]

The last two days that I’ve been shopping, someone has parked over the line, blocking my way into the car 🙄 luckily my bf was able to just pull out and I could hop in, but still annoying! I can imagine the annoyance when you have a kiddo with a car seat!

[@mlince1973]

My oldest is 31 and the youngest is 11 so I speak from experience ….these are precious times. Merry Christmas

[@tararose9606]

Actually Stephan my parents one year surprised us and rented a limo and took us all around the city to look at Christmas lights. So not only in San Diego. LOL

[@josiestyers5784]

It's 41 degrees where I live and it's midday with the sun out lol

[@ExmoLex]

Happy holidays ♥️

[@JessicaVining]

Please please consider doing a restock of the self love club crewneck! So devastated I couldn’t get one :(

[@IceNixie0102]

It's so weird to me that people buy one roll of paper and use it up. I have 10-20 rolls open at any given time (of Christmas paper, completely separate stash of birthday paper) and choose paper based on who the gift is for. Every roll last for YEARS and new rolls are bought when I see cute ones, or I'm running low on snowmen/kid paper/green paper or whatever.

[@lisachalabian9072]

Love your videos!!! Where did you get that dry erase calendar with the gold basket "thingy" to hold pens? I need that desperately!
