Cass Life

We are loving the Spring season! My kids are outside every waking second, playing in the yard and getting dirty! The Hus has been burning brush and going to town in our woods! We are happy campers!


Love having our play-set for the unlimited hours of fun for the kids! We have been dreaming about putting this crazy slide in the yard. I found it on pinterest. How amazing is it?



Trader Joe's Cookie Butter S'mores! Oh my.


The Hus hung patio lights for me under our deck! I scored the ferns at Home Depot: 2/$7! 


Zion and Zakiyah love wearing daddy's helmet! :)


I love taking pix of the girls on Sundays for "Sunday's Best"! This one just kills me! It looks like Kiyah is getting her praise on! 


 It is no secret that I am obsessed with baking. This one is one of my favorite go-to recipes! Emergency Cake! I use 1/2 greek yogurt & 1/2 Mayonnaise though. I prefer the bunt pan vs. the 8x8



 I have been painting this old hutch that my dad started to make years back! It is going to go in our dining room :)



 Oh the faces of my girls……. HILARIOUS! Selfies and all.



Let's talk about the mini carts at the grocery stores….. I have a love/hate relationship with these bad boys. The running around…. the freedom… the ankles getting attacked……. I just say a prayer every time for safety! :) Any other mamas feel the same way? 

Happy Friday!

Thank You Jesus it is Friday

Crazy Cass LIFE. 
I have been neglecting the bloglife. I love having this space for my writing and logging our life….. staying inspired and connecting with you……but, sometimes I get tired. I think it is the month 6 of winter syndrome. I need Spring. I don't want to space to be vent/crab fest…so I have been keeping my thoughts to myself…. :) 
All in All, many things to be thankful for.  This past week was busy at Tala and the homefront. Here are a few pix. ( Linking up with Lauren and Jeanett


Donuts with my best friend. Why is it so hard to even make time for our favorite people………Much needed girlfriend time while our children ran around. 

Princess clothes and apple slices.


I am excited to have Easter later in the season this year- maybe it will be more Spring like. Painting eggs :) in swimsuits, of course.



Iced coffee and snow pants playing with sidewalk chalk. #mnprobs



A BEFORE pix of a corner I am working on (revamping) in my living room. I had Andy hang up this shelf for me! I want this to be a reading/coffee nook. 



 I am also working on Zion's bedroom right now. I made the tassel garland this week! Zakiyah has successfully slept in the pack-n-play for 4 nights! We are moving the girls into the same room to make room for a office/art studio/guest room ;) 


My ladies sharing a room! 


Spring nails. LOVE!

Happy Friday friends.

random: is there anything you want to see on this blog? any post ideas? fav things that I share…. I would love to hear your thoughts…… Please leave a comment below!

Cass Life- weekly recap

21 Fairies.
500+ women's event (2 nights in a row)
12 hour shifts at Tala
4 days without a voice.
car in ditch.
23 lattes/americanos I consumed.
I am tired. 

But, what an amazing week for me! 

I survived with amazing coffee that my friends (baristas) made for our annual Ladies Candlelight Dinner at church! 


Minnesota is lamesauce. I am over the -40 windchill temps- 2 feet of snow in a day- car going in ditch because of 6" of ice on the roads…… Jesus, take the wheel. Thankful we were all safe and didn't get injured or hit anyone.


I squeezed in cuddles with my ladies- needed. 'nuff said.


So, what is the Ladies Candlelight Dinner? It is an amazing event that our church puts on for our community. It is held in our gathering area at church, catered dinner with entertainment and a guest speaker! Every table has a hostess that brings her own tableware/decor. It is eclectic and amazing! I hosted two nights in a row!!! Our theme was JOY and it was the best! I helped with decor and behind the scenes stuff! Worth the time….til next year….


Here is my table this year! 





Last weekend, we had a huge 4th birthday celebration for Zion Leilani! Tinkerbell/fairy themed! How cute are these fairies!? I am going to post monday on the details from the party! My Hus and Zion share a birthday as well! Andy has started the tradition of being CHEF ANDY at our kids parties…… The little girls loved it! Accent and all. Zion was so proud of her daddy. We gave Andy the costume for Christmas this year!




 The little ladies painted fairy houses for a keepsake.


Off to a youth conference! Have a blessed weekend!

CassLIFE// fav pix from the week!

I thought I would share with you some favorite pix of the week from my phone……. Lots of being cooped up with the cold weather. We did host a Superbowl party and I worked some long days at Tala. I have some fun crafts that I am working on! We are dreaming of some warmer days and being outside. Overall, we are making the most of it.


cute little lady feet. Always together. Always climbing. Always wearing stripes.


I scored some clearance plants this week that I am going to pot this weekend! Pray for my plants…..They tend to not get along with me.


Remember my mood board for my Master Bath?! I found these towel hooks at Anthro on CLEARANCE!!!!! whoop whoop.


It was observation day at Ballet this week. All I have to say is, it is impossible to observe my firstborn with a 1.5 year old running around. Out of control. She loves watching her big sister though.


Zion loves dance!!!! We stayed after 15 minutes for her to "teach" her friends dance afer class. #firstborn #minime #bossy #iaminforit (note:  no ballet slippers// how does this kid grow so fast? I had to order new ones.)


Zakiyah is obsessed with coloring…I mean eating markers and crayons. She loves being a big girl!


 I treated myself to a free mani during nap….watching Friday Night Lights and painted my nails. Holler.


 Cousin time was a must this week! Soooooo cute these too. I love my nephew (only cousin for Z/Z) Ryder! He is the best! This is his "post haircut" shoot!

Happy Friday! xoxoxoxo
