i started writing my blog a couple of years ago when i worked for Kidd Kraddick in the Morning – i never realized how much i enjoyed writing until then – i had a baby girl (my first) in February of 2008 and found that i didn’t quite have the time to dedicate to blogging that i had pre-baby – but i recently (and unwillingly) joined the ranks of the unemployed and while i’m not thrilled with the prospect of no longer having a job, it has given me the time to blog again
so many things have changed since the days of my KKITM blog and since i no longer work there, i decided the best thing to do was to start brand new – but i wasn’t sure exactly where to start – basically the majority of my life consists of me being a wife and mother and while that’s exciting to me, i realize it may not be all that exciting to anyone else – but it did get me thinking … becoming a mom totally changed my outlook on life and the kind of parent i thought i would be – all of a sudden i’m a cloth diapering, co-sleeping, extended breastfeeding, babyfood-making mom!! i also had Sydney’s ears pierced when she was 4 months old, dress her in the girliest clothes i can find and “force” her to wear huge bows that are bigger than her head! why? because i’m one of those moms – the kind people talk about behind their backs while pointing and whispering, “oh, she’s one of those moms” – yep, that’s me!
Yay! so glad to get my fix of Dianthe blogs again!
I miss you on KKITM, and your Remix was fabulous. I’m glad you are blogging again. Your blogs are wonderful and I look forward to them. I could totally relate to the pressure (self induced) of a first b-day party. My daughters are a year and 4 days apart. So I have to have the perfect DOUBLE SISTER PARTY. Yep, I’m crazy. I remember last year agonizing over the font of the silly, I mean perfect invitations.
I’m still mad at Kidd- I know it wasn’t personal, but why are those other phone people still there?
Ok, I’ll chill out!
I am just happy to see someone else out there in the DFW area that is proud to cloth diaper, ext. breastfeed and co-sleep! I am due in Sept with my first and am planning a natural birth at the Allen Birth Center. I am going to breastfeed, cloth diaper, and co-sleep. I have had mixed reactions from my family and my husband, but I stand strong and believe that this is the best thing for me and my baby. Great blog!
No wonder i have not heard you in a while on Kid Kraddick. I had always hoped you would be added along with Kelly, Kidd, Al and J-Si.
I miss you, your voice and you beating up J-Si!
Best of luck to you and your expanding family.
May God bless and keep you always!
Hey Dianthe,
Just heard your birth story on the morning show… amazing.
I must meet your new little one.
I had all my 3 natural as well and my middle son’s name is also Myles.
Great minds think alike I suppose.
Hit me back and let me know when I can bring your lunch.

Girrrl, I just heard your birthing story this morning on the drive in to work. Ok. So I’m one of those women who don’t chase down birthing shows, but will watch one if I’m channel surfing and the mom is in the midst of pushing. Once the baby arrives, I cry like a nut and then continue my channel-surfing. Well I’ll be darn…the moment you said you gave one more push and the rest of Miles’s body arrived, I bawled uncontrollably with no warning given to the cool and collected part of my brain. All I can do is embrace this incognito part of my personality. Thanks for sharing your story on the radio.
Hey girl, heard your birth story this am on Kidd Kraddick! I didn’t even relize you weren’t on the show anymore, much less that you were expecting again! How exciting, so glad you gave a shout out about your blog, I use to love reading your blog on KK everyday! Then like you said, you didn’t have much time to blog, anyhow, I really missed you, so glad to re-connect with you and your family again! Congrats on your newest addition, can’t wait to see some pictures of the little man!
I really glad to have found your positings again, I really enjoyed your view of things on the KKITM show. Nice to see you are doing well. I look forward to reading more about your adventures. I believe you should look into writing a book. You have a gift for writing and some wonderful insights that new mothers need to hear. Just a thought.
