Got a tip you’d love to share? Travel ideas or reviews? We’d love to hear about it!

How it started

Cassity loves almost every creative avenue and likes to have projects to keep her busy.

When it comes to remodeling, we try to do it on a tight budget because we also love to travel (hello Disney!).

With 4 children (2 teens and 2 toddlers!), we are always looking for ways to make life easier and to make memories that will last a lifetime.

About Cassity

(I’m the one on the the keyboard most of the time)

I am a wife and mother first and foremost. I’m also the business manager for our sites and the one always adding ideas to Justin’s honey-do list!

My husband is a dream. He can do anything, and is cheerful about most anything I ask. He is a landscape architect, so we love to design together.

I am an Interior Designer, according to my bachelor’s degree. I do not work in the field though. I help friends and fix up our houses, but that is all for now.

Our Family

It took us eight years to conceive. It was a difficult and painful path, I mention this, because for those of you going through it, you are not alone. I feel so much for you and pray you get your baby too.

Out of the blue, in the fall of 2008 I got pregnant, we finally had our dreams of becoming parents come true! Our oldest daughter, Etta, was quickly and blessedly followed soon after by our second daughter, Lydia, in 2011.

We got to experience infertility again after those two came along. 4 years after Lydia, in 2015, when we were finally pregnant and couldn’t be happier, we lost our son in a late-term miscarriage. This is a pain like no other. After so many years of wanting children- multiple children, losing him was really painful.

Another 4 years later in 2019 we finally had the surprise of a lifetime when we were finally pregnant again and got another set of sisters, Zena and in 202,1 Alice. We are SO happy to have these crazy littles around, and it is so fun to see their big sisters have littles around.

We also love our pets! We have two indoor cats, Tiger and Lily.

We hope you find inspiration to take that trip, make memories, and be the parent you want to be!
