Part of My World

-

Hey, I'm Cassandra.

I'm a twenty-something mom and dork who works currently as a special education instruction assistant for grades K-5. I hope to have my own classroom someday soon, but for now I am so happy doing what I'm doing until God puts me where I need to be. I have an incredible family and the best friends. I have a hilarious and amazing son, Townes, who is a year old. I love animals, eating, and pretty much anything that involves creating. I go to the movies regularly and love picking up a good book when I have a minute.

I love to laugh.

One of my favorite quotes, from the magnificent Audrey Hepburn, "I believe laughing is the best calorie burner". I couldn't agree more Audrey. Expect some humor, dumb jokes, and a splash of sarcasm because that's just who I am as a human. We need laughter as badly as we need kindness.

I love writing.

My love of writing inspired me to start my own blog. I may be the only one who sees it, but I wanted to get in the habit of pursuing my creative side more and pushing myself to write more. I have a ton of different interests; beauty & fashion, mommin' life, books & films, home decor, art & DIY projects, food, journaling & writing, and more. Even though I have a wide variety of interests I hope each post will be something anyone can enjoy and I hope to put a little bit of myself and a little bit of "sunshine" in each one. 

Thanks for being Part of My World.

I hope you enjoy my thoughts, ramblings, and words. If you don't, that's okay too. It's more for me anyway. 😉

I saw recently a journal where you fill each day with your three favorite moments of that day. I'm gonna do try to do that on every post. No matter how bad the day, we can always find three good moments. 

Three moments I loved today (7/25/18):

Moment One: Going into Forever 21 with Townes.

We went into Forever 21 with my mother-in-law to get a giftcard. As soon as we walked in, Townes started dancing and jamming. He started running around the store, having a blast and making everyone laugh. (We ultimately lost his paci in the excitement.) It was just so fun to watch, this age is so fun.

Moment Two: Getting Pie at Buttermilk Sky Pie.

While in town, we just had to stop by our favorite pie shop! I decided on a coconut creme and key-lime for Benjamin and I. Sometimes you just need a little sweet in your day.

Moment Three: Starting a Blog!

I am so excited about starting a blog! I hope it's something I enjoy keeping up with and that it helps me write more and focus on things that make me happy.

But for the weekend? We were young again.

          I recently had the absolute pleasure of having a Galentine's getaway with my forever friends. Four girls who somehow knew we would always be in one another's lives. We've known each other for 16+ years. That is so crazy to think about. We also could not be more different as human beings. You hear people say, "we're the same person!" and that just isn't us. That's what makes it work. We have different opinions, interests, talents, lives, but we all have each other. I know we're lucky, I don't know many adults in my life who have friends like us. They're bonus moms to my children, they're there in a second if I need someone, and they know what's going on in my life at all times.      We used to have crazy nights in high school where we stayed up too late, ate hot dog wieners in hot tubs, laughed until we cried, or swam with our clothes on. We talk about being young often because our lives are so different now. We have jobs,

DIY Accent Wall (Under 5 dollars!)

I started, and finished another new project! As we get more comfortable in our home, I'm trying to start adding things that make it ours. Whether that's photos, pieces that represent or mean something to each of us, or in this case, something I made.  I found inspiration while scrolling Instagram of course, Aspen ( @bohobitsofhome ) has done this project twice in her own home, and her account is the first place I saw it. I immediately fell in love with how unique it was, and how it added such a cute bohemian pop to her spaces! As soon as I saw it I said the age-old phrase I say too often, "I could do that!". You might hear me say this phrase when I see a painting at Target, or an easy meal on Pinterest, or an outfit idea on Instagram. Although these ideas don't always work out, (tough love Cassandra, you sometimes can't do that) this one I actually could! After I saw her picture and saw she used washi tape, I looked up washi tape wall ideas a

26 Free Summer Audiobooks

Summer is coming, and for me that means more reading! I really slack on my reading during the school year, and I guess since I'm less productive in the summer, it just feels more satisfying to take a minute to read than to watch Netflix or scroll Instagram. I used to get in trouble as a kid for sneaking huge stacks of books under my covers to read after bedtime. My mom said she would feel so bad for telling me to stop reading and go to bed. I kept up my love of reading over the years, but really slacked off at times. I go through spurts where I burn through books quickly, and then lulls again where I "can't find the time". Throughout all these times, one thing helped me make sure I was always reading, audiobooks! I used to worry that audio books didn't count as reading, and in case you're like me, you couldn't be more wrong. I was listening to a lot of podcasts and realized if I could focus enough to listen to them, that I could easily list
