Dietrich Academy is REALLY Underway
If you have stumbled upon this post, I am betting you have spent some time the last few weeks – err, months – deciding what to do with your child for this school year. Do you send them back to school in whatever capacity your district has chosen? Do you keep them at home and […]
The Powerful Gift of Giving For Young Children
This morning I wasn’t feeling great. I had gone to bed with prayers of not catching my youngest son’s terrible cold and pink eye. After a decent night’s sleep, I still woke up exhausted. So when I had gotten my youngest and the young boy I nanny to sleep at the same time, I decided […]
Hello Winter…You’re Not Welcome Here
Liam and I watched a video last week touring North America. It’s amazing the vastness of this continent. Honestly, just the enormity and diverseness of the United States of America is mind boggling. You could see something new every year of your life without needing a passport and never get bored. The videos of the […]
Huckleberry Picking in Montana
A New Fruit From mushroom hunting to huckleberry picking, the mountains of Montana have a lot of food to discover! First, you might be saying, “Huckleberries??” I had never heard of a huckleberry (other than Huckleberry Finn) until moving here. I first saw it as the name of the health food section and restaurant at […]
Philipsburg, MT: Our Fun, Not So Perfect Weekend Getaway
Another Montana weekend. Another adventure. Honestly, this summer we haven’t ventured too far from Bozeman. Lake still isn’t the best traveler so we’ve stuck pretty close. We did do a weekend trip to the town of Philipsburg a few weeks ago, which was about three hours away. It was one of those trips that was […]
Huckleberry App Review: A Miracle App
Sleep. I LOVE sleep. I’m much more a morning person than a night owl…once I get up. But let’s be honest. That’s the hard part. I never want to get out of my nice, warm bed with all the covers piled on top of me. Just this morning I convinced myself that 30 more minutes […]
Mushroom Hunting
The phone rings and I hear, “What would you say if I asked to go mushroom hunting?” Um, how do I respond to that? Mushroom hunting? Is that a thing? Maybe because I’m a child of the 90s but the TV show David the Gnome popped into my head. Didn’t they live in mushrooms or […]
Watershed Festival
It may be the second day of summer in most of the country but Montana didn’t seem to get the message. But our family didn’t let that stop us from our plans. We put on our long pants, boots and rain coats and headed out to the Farmers Market and Watershed Festival. We have two […]
Over the River and to Smith Lake
Do you remember how I said I worry a lot? My ‘look at the glass half empty’, ‘the worst is going to happen’ attitude did not go well the first summer we were out here. If you missed some of our adventures, check these old posts out: We Weren’t Quite the Grizwalds A Beach of […]
Handling Worry
I’m a worrier. I don’t know why. Maybe I was born with it (maybe it’s Maybelline…ha! I couldn’t resist). Maybe it’s a learned habit. Maybe it’s simply from reading and watching the news (which is filled with all the scary things of this world). No matter the reason, I worry. I worry what people will […]
