Boys Will Be Boys
I have two boys. I am a girl. Save for the occasional time they to pretend they’re carrying a purse, my two boys are ALL boy, ALL the time. As a girly girl, and the only girl in my house, I find a lot of their behaviors unrelatable. Summer is coming in hot (no pun… Continue reading

Are the Twos Terrible, Or Am I?
I haven’t written a post in a while because I have felt pretty uninspired lately. My creative juices just haven’t been flowing like they used to, and I’m attributing that to the twos–specifically my two who are two. Perhaps my creativity (and overall energy) is zapped because I spend the better part of my day… Continue reading

Twin Hacks
I’m a sucker for a good life hack. Discover a trick to organizing shoes (to make more room for me to buy more)? I’m all ears. Uncover a ground-breaking way to make the laundry process more efficient? Lay it on me. Have a clever technique to fold the tortilla with all its contents perfectly? Let… Continue reading

Resolutions
What’s your New Year’s resolution? Holy loaded question, right? Obviously mine is not publishing a blog post on the first of every month because it’s January 9th, and here we are. In my former life, I was a teacher. I set my goals at the beginning of the school year. The timing just felt right–new… Continue reading

No NICU Nightmares
The boys are two now. If you haven’t lived with toddlers lately, let me tell you what that’s like. It’s a lot of emotional attempts at independence, rare occasions when our listening ears are actually working, new (and very strong) opinions, and more energy than those five monkeys who jump on the bed. Sounds fun,… Continue reading

Life As We Know It
Wow, it’s been a while…a while since I had an afternoon during nap time when I could open my laptop in peace and quiet for anything other than paying bills or adding to my Amazon cart. Quite a few things have changed over the past month. Well, more like a month and some change…but who’s… Continue reading

Mama Called the Doctor and the Doctor Said…
The doctor didn’t say anything about monkeys jumping on the bed, but he wanted me to tell you it SUCKS when your kids are sick. There’s usually two paths this situation takes…spoiler alert, neither one is all that great. Option 1: Well, at least just one of them is sick. This is quite possibly the… Continue reading

MAYBE My Husband Was Right…
I like to be prepared. Actually, that’s the understatement of the century. I love to think ahead, create a plan, make a list, overthink possible outcomes, and walk into situations with all my ducks in a row. I even asked one of my nurses to give me a detailed play-by-play of a c-section so I… Continue reading
About Me
Hi! I’m Cassie I originally started this account as a way to answer the question, “Twins! How do you do it?!” but those twins I mentioned are starting pre-school in the fall, so I’ll have some free time. A former teacher, I have always loved clothes, putting outfits together, finding a good deal, and picking up style tips. Now that the world is my oyster with this newfound freedom, I’m feeling an urge to explore my creativity in that area. I hope you’ll follow along, and invite your friends!
