The Dillard Family

Faith. Family. Food. Facts. Feelings

We are Derick & Jill (Duggar) Dillard. You may know us from our time on the TLC reality series, 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On, or from our New York Times bestselling book, Counting The Cost. We love raising our three active boys and spending time together as a family. We hope you’ll be blessed as you hang out on our site and get to know us a little bit better!

💗We were due last August with our first girl…this year, we should have been celebrating her 1st birthday with a smash cake and all the fun milestones. 

💗We don’t know exactly what caused the loss, but after lots of testing, they concluded that the most likely cause was a fluke subchorionic hematoma/hemorrhage that wasn’t detected until later, so nothing likely would have changed things.

💗What we do know is that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss. This means there are so many hurting families, and so many families who need the kind of love and support we had while walking through loss. 

💗If you know someone walking through loss, send them a text and say something like, “Love you. So sorry for your loss. Thinking about you. No need to reply.” Little acts of love (sometimes less is more) can mean a lot! 

💗And if you or someone you know are walking through loss, check out my LTK shop link (⬆️ in my stories & highlight bubbles) for helpful books and gift ideas surrounding loss. Here are a few other supporting organizations:

🪴🎃Truth be told…my kiddos really wanted to grow pumpkins this year and I wasn’t so sure we had the space, but I’m so glad we did it! They grew them, harvested them and are baking their way through all by themselves, one pumpkin recipe at a time! I’m so proud of them and all their work and we all love reaping the fruit of their labors! 😋 #familygardening #growingpumpkins #dillardfamilyadventures #kidswhobake
👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨🌳 Derick & I were so grateful to get away together to celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary @inthetreesresort  #partner ❤️

Everything from the hot tub on the back deck surrounded by trees, to the private chef dinner, the couples massage, the deer food to bring in the wildlife, and the anniversary package (flowers, cake, champagne & charcuterie!), our stay @inthetreesresort made us feel extra special! 

Located in Hot Springs, Arkansas and situated in the beautiful Ouachita mountains, @inthetreesresort is only a few hour drive from #nwarkansas and the surrounding area! 

We couldn’t be more grateful to @inthetreesresort for hosting us and to the wonderful team who took care of us while we were there! Our couples massage therapists (Meghan & Jose) in our room were amazing! And our private dinner (also in house!) prepared by Chef Alex was delicious! If you’re looking for a getaway in nature, @inthetreesresort is the perfect place to relax! 

+ shoutout to my cousin @amyrachelleking and my aunt @deanna_duggar for keeping our boys so we could get away for a couple nights!
