He Survived Live
May 29, 2018 It was just a few short years ago that the only kids shows I knew of were the ones I grew up with: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mr. Rogers, Ducktales, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Mickey Mouse, Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers. And being that we don’t have cable I didn’t really know […]
A Beach of Our Own
May 14, 2018 Got my toes near the water, butt in the sand Not a worry in the world, a cold Coke in my hand Life is good today Life is good today. ~Zac Brown Band Ok. So I changed a few of the lyrics but now they really work…and it pretty much sums up […]
Little Boys Grow Up
May 8, 2018 One minute he’s clinging to my legs as if a tornado may come and snatch him up at a moments notice and the next minute he’s averting eye contact and telling me to go away. OK, maybe it wasn’t a minute but sometimes it sure feels like it. I signed Liam up […]
Duking it Out with the Little Debbie Guy
November 4, 2017 Months ago I was at our storage unit in North Carolina with Liam and my father-in-law. The rectangular box that houses literally everything Matt and I own other than clothes and food. As I’m doing whatever it was I was doing, a Little Debbie’s truck drives up and backs up to the […]
Where Oh Where Have the Dietrich’s Gone?
October 3, 2017 Its been two months since I last wrote! Bozeman is quickly becoming home and life is getting a little busier. It’s hard to believe that Matt has lived here for almost an entire year now and Liam and I have been here for just over six months! Time certainly does fly. So […]
How Did Women Mother Before Pinterest?
July 28, 2017 It’s Friday and I have no car. Matt is being a fishing guide for a gentleman from North Carolina. This morning a sweet friend came and picked Liam and I up so we could go to a play date at the Splash Pad in town. But we are now home and Liam […]
You Don’t Need AC When It’s 20 Degrees
July 19, 2017 Thick, heavy comforters. Warm, cozy blankets. A single sheet and one, thin blanket. Matt and I were not created to sleep in the same bed. We have found our happy middle by folding the warm, cozy blanket in half and laying it only on my side. Bonus: I now have an extra […]
Fourth of July
July 16, 2017 Our first of many holidays here in Montana. For the past few years we’ve spent the Fourth of July with our best friends back home. By a pool or on the lake, Ben and Jen were guaranteed to be decked out in complete red, white and blue. This year we both had […]
Leaving Montana
July 14, 2017 That’s right. We left Montana….for the weekend. We headed south to Wyoming. Matt, myself and Liam have been blessed with a friendship that I can see having for a long while. It all began when Nicole did not hire me to be her babysitter. HA! But to her defense I wouldn’t have […]
Eating in the Streets
July 11, 2017 Yes, it has been a while since I’ve written. And I can make every excuse but it all boils down to having a toddler and friends. And both are blessings so I can not complain. So back to something I had started a while back and maybe I can get everyone caught […]
