Meet Sarah Waterbury
Founder of Simply Waterbury — a space where faith, family, and home come together
Hey friend!
I’m Sarah — wife to Brian, mom to our sweet and sassy daughter Isabella, and the heart behind Simply Waterbury. If you’ve ever felt like life is both beautiful and deeply overwhelming at the same time… I’ve been there. And that’s why I created this space.
Simply Waterbury is a place for women who are trying to walk in faith, raise their families, and build peaceful homes — even while fighting spiritual battles behind the scenes.
Why I Started Simply Waterbury
I was tired of searching Pinterest and blogs for help and finding nothing but clickbait, popups, and unrealistic expectations. I didn’t need perfection — I needed truth, grace, and something I could actually do on a tight budget with a toddler in the next room.
This site is my answer to that need — and maybe yours, too.
Through Simply Waterbury, I share faith-based encouragement, spiritual warfare tools, real-life family lessons, and simple ways to bring beauty, order, and peace to your home. It’s built on three pillars:
Faith. Family. Home.
My Story in a Nutshell
My roots in the church run deep — but they haven’t been easy. My husband and I became youth leaders in 2013, which began a season of both incredible ministry moments and heartbreaking spiritual battles. We’ve walked through church closures, financial strain, leadership conflict, and more spiritual warfare than I ever imagined. But through it all, God has been faithful — and our story continues.

This blog isn’t about a picture-perfect Christian life. It’s about clinging to Jesus in the chaos. It’s about praying through the hard stuff, and making space to build a life that reflects the peace He promises.
What You’ll Find Here
Simply Waterbury is all about helping you:
- Grow stronger in prayer and spiritual discernment (with practical tools, not just inspiration)

Where It’s Going
I’m currently building two digital systems to help women like you:
- Simply Shielded — a prayer system with tools for creating a prayer wall, prayer binder, or prayer Bible
- Simply Balanced — a budgeting toolkit rooted in Dave Ramsey’s principles, with a grace-first, faith-filled approach
These are being built from my own struggles and victories — and I’m so excited to walk with you through them.
