THE GRUTSCH FAMILY

Hey, ya’ll! We’re the Grutsch Family, writing to you from the great state of Nebraska. Whether intentionally or by accident—our apologies if you were just trying to find a new pie recipe—we’re thrilled that you’re here! We’d love for you to grab your coffee (or something a little more stiff if you’re so inclined) and explore the contents of As Easy As FI.

If you enjoy our content, or if you dislike it so much that you feel obligated to formalize your grievance in writing, get in contact with us here Contact Us  We’d love to connect!

Derek & Anastasia

We’re the ringleaders of this circus. After meeting during college, we tied the knot back in June 2018. Following a few years down in Kansas City, we made our way back to The Good Life. Now residing in Omaha, Ana works as a registered nurse and Derek as a corporate attorney. We fill our limited free time attending concerts, cheering on the Huskers (#GBR), and trying to make sure all three of our littles are accounted for…so far, so good. Oh, and we also write blog posts that you might find informative and, if we may be so bold, entertaining. You be the judge.

Addilyn

Our first-born. The wild child who is seemingly not afraid of anything. Between swimming lessons, gymnastics and soccer, you can usually find her playing dress up, belting the lyrics to We Will Rock You by Queen at the top of her lungs, or asking strangers what their dog’s name is (whether or not they actually have a dog). She keeps us on our toes, and constantly tests our sanity.

Cameron

Our middle child. Cam Bam is our little sweetheart, except when he and his sister decide to audition as MMA fighters right before bedtime every night. Cam fills his time watching Spidey and His Amazing Friends, working through his busy books, and begging to hold his baby sister.

London

New to the crew. Established February 2024, baby London (or as she’s become known around here, LoLo) is still figuring out where she fits into this merry band of misfits. Thus far, she’s proven her commitment to sleep all day and party all night. Mom and Dad love it…

Kaos

Last, but certainly not least, is our first child. Kaos (100% a misnomer) may just be the sweetest dog that ever lived. We aren’t biased at all—just look at that face! This fluffy guy has courageously adapted from a once quiet life in KC to a household that is hectic 24/7. He’s a true best friend to each of our kids, even when they steal his spot on the couch.
