About Moi!

Hello world! Coming to you live from my dining room/play room is me, Cassie! I'm a mom, a wife, a christian, a homemaker, a wannabe seamstress, a crafter, and probably a million more things. And this blog is about me growing in all of those areas. Lucky lucky blog world! No, really,I don't expect to have many viewers to this site, but for those few that are interested, I will be here, sharing along the way.


One of the things I want to do first is introduce my sweet boys that you will, no doubt, be hearing all about. First up is O. He is 4 and currently gearing up to enter pre-k this fall and pretty much lives in superhero costumes. He is the sweetest boy you could meet. Really. Of course I am his mother, and might be prejudiced, but! he really is a sweet, cuddling, inquisitive little man.

Number two is C. C is by far a different boy. He is almost 2 and he has the energy of no other! If O wants to cuddle, turkey is probably throwing something at us! God gave me this sweet little boy to stretch me out of my comfort level and I have loved every minute of it!


The third boy in my life is the love of my life. Alex and I have been happily married for almost 7 years. There are days that I wake up and still can't believe that he chose me, waited for me, and married me. We have a very special relationship and it is beyond important to me to continue to nurture that. Especially being a mom, sometimes our marriages can take a back seat and in the process lose their importance. I never want that to happen. I don't think I could survive without my best friend.


So! There it is. A very basic introduction to the basis of this blog. I hope you stick around to see what it unfolds in to!

Poetry tea time with boys

In our home we can easily fill our days with busyness. With two little boys, life IS busyness. But the chaos that is the modern life can easily push that busyness into chaos. We have sports and activities on top of a educational plan that challenges each of the boys. It's easy to get lost in the challenge and tally up your successes. It's harder to slow down and find beauty and just savor a moment. In my heart I desperately want the boys to remember more than just their multiplication tables from our journey together. I want them to have wonderful memories of our time. So, I'm very diligent about making sure we have those opportunities. We take hikes, we ride bikes, we do science experiments, we build legos. Have you notieced a theme? We DO. In case you missed it earlier, boys are BUSY! (Disclaimer: I'm sure girls are too. I just have no frame of reference. Sorry) So, I have my hands full with these two little boys and then I read these lovely, I mean, Lovely, did you...

Blast from the past

One of the things that Alex and I try to do on a semi-regular basis is go out on dates. Sometime, somewhere, I read that going out with your spouse once a week allowed you to continue to grow and build your relationship, especially once your children are born. That way, when your children are grown and out of the house, you are not sitting across from a complete stranger. Well, we certainly don't make it out once a week, but I think we do pretty good at least going once a month.

Our Favorite book series for the emerging reader

So...I've been thinking of writing a series for you guys. Teaching reading was very emotional for me over the last two years and I want to share the incredible resources we utilized. So, over the next few weeks I'm going to be writing about reading. I hope you'll join me. Today I want to focus on the emerging reader stage because we LIVED here for what seemed like the FOR-EV-ER. My working definition of emerging reader is that reader that can read chapter books but doesn't want to. They are finally emerging from the pitiful world of early readers but aren't fully ready to plunge into the vast realm of chapter books. It is a painful place to be because there are so very few good options at this level. The last two years I have felt as though O's reading progress has been how I measured our homeschooling success, and ultimately, my own success. Because isn't that exactly what we mamas do?
