OUR ART ROOM & OFFICE


Oh My WORD!!!!!! I am in LOVE with our new office/art/creative space/ play room!!!!!! We are still fine tuning and finishing up details, but I just couldn't wait to show you! I am in love with the room! It is totally us! My hus nailed it with the desk!!!!!!!  


Here is the room when we moved in- 


Check here for more pictures of it when it was Zakiyah's room!




and now!!!!!!



Andy used butcher block for the counter/ the legs are from trees in our back yard! We still have to mount the peg board. ( I WILL POST MORE NEXT WEEK ON THE DETAILS ON EVERYTHING)







Something that is really important to me is having the room fit my family's needs, not just mine. I wanted a space for Andy to study (he is getting his masters), me to create, and the girls to have fun and play! This cart holds their stamps/coloring books etc. 












Zion (left) and Zakiyah at 6 months! Finally framed and up! 






The desk is big enough to have two chairs at it! 





( I spy some building going down on across the street!!!!!! ) 

















What do you think? Do you love it as much as me?! Best mother's day gift ever! Thanks HUS! Now, come on over and create some art with me! 
Check back next week for the details on this space……..

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!
