Hi there!
Let me start off with an introduction. I am Paige Dietrich (currently 12 yrs. old) and my co-partner in this blog is our kitten, Mel. Just as a heads up; you may be seeing quite a few pictures of her! Anyways, I am originally from Canada but for the past 3 1/2 years have been living in Belize with my parents, 2 siblings, Keaton (currently 10) and Grady (currently 7 1/2), and our 4 cats. I love to read, craft, create, mess up the kitchen and eat food.

I will be using this blog, Mel & Me, to tell you guys about events happening in our Belize lives, cool and crafty ideas/things to try and also lots of recipes and cooking tips! I promise to try my very best to keep this blog current, so stay tuned for more posts!
Also, incase some of you didn't hear.....the Dietrich's are visiting canada this year!!!! We booked to come Sept 18 to Oct 17.....yyyyaaayyyy!!!

So since you last heard, Tyler has departed from yet another great visit and we were sad to see him go. We made lots of great memories in his 2 weeks here, though. *Snokeling (photos in my last post) *A couple trips (or 3 or 6!) to Secret Beach to have fun in the water and get a nice sun burn. *Biking and carting around town *Making coconut lentil curry with him (yes, we consider that a memory!) Lets just say Grady is a whole memory in herself Nighttime swim at Secret Beach with TyTy Possibly another Secret Beach trip.... San Pedro from a crack in cement Beach Feet Saturday, in honour of TyTy we had to go to Secret Beach AND eat a whole 18lb watermelon in one sitting. Just for him. Grady is not enjoying that slice of waterme at all, is she?!!! 'Someones' decided it would be fun to stick all their seeds on my arms. I think they counted 105 total seeds.  Grady rocking the 1 hour bike ride to Secret Beach. Last Sunda

Up on the Hill

For those of you who don't know, we do own land here in Belize. We started the cement pad for our future house up 'On the Hill' about 2 years ago, and finally, finally, it will be finished! Keaton, Dad and the 4 guys who will be finishing the foundation are up on the hill today putting the rebar into the foundation and getting water pumped from the 375ft. deep well all the way to the top of the property. God is GOOD, all the time, and ALL the time, God is good. Hopefully, if all goes as planned, we will be pouring the floor on Monday! Yay! So, what better to do when you have a bunch of guys working than make them....Cinnamon Rolls! Mmmmmm....I won't be posting the specific recipe, just some pictures...to make your mouth water!   Come to think of it, we should have used THIS mixer to make the Cinnamon Rolls!!!! That's all for now, but keep posted! *Mel and Paige

Well....seems like a little while since I last posted. I guess it's about time to post again! So, since you last heard, our cement pad did get poured but....well, I'll just leave it at that. On March 25th we took a trip out to San Pedro, one of Belize's islands (cayes). We had an offer a month and a bit ago to rent a small space there and set up a Shoots Alive store front there, so we decided to check it out for the 3rd time. We spent a few hours chatting with the land lord and walking around the space, then we of coarse had to stop for some ice cream, because it was Grady's birthday and because it is impossible to walk past an ice cream shop and not go in. We splashed in the sea a bit and before we knew it, we were on the last boat of the day heading back to the mainland.  So, after talking, taking trips and praying, we have just recently come to the conclusion that we will be going ahead with the store front! Mom, Grady, Keaton and I will be living out there for
