Handwriting Letters

You may have seen my Instagram post this past weekend about how our 10 year wedding anniversary is coming up in just a few short weeks! It’s so hard to believe it’s been 10 years already. Time just flies by.

Every year on our anniversary, birthdays, and Valentine’s Day (which also happens to be my birthday) we exchange handwritten cards. I save all of our cards in a special keepsake box that was given to us as a wedding present.

Papyrus Cards

It couldn’t have been better timing that Papyrus reached out to me with a handful of their beautifully handcrafted cards to send out to the special people in my life. Obviously, the first person I thought of was Nathan, because of our upcoming anniversary. Next, there are several sweet people in my life that I’ve been meaning to send thank you cards to. A good habit I picked up after writing hundreds of thank you cards after our wedding.

Peplum Dress

This peplum dress by Zara is one that I picked up several years ago and It’s still one of my favorites (last seen here). Even though this dress is very sweet and romantic, I love that its edges are left raw and unraveling. You can find several similar dresses here, here, and here.

Tortoiseshell Earrings

I love timeless pieces that can be worn again and again and that’s exactly why I love these tortoiseshell earrings. Tortoiseshell is such a classic pattern that complements just about anything, plus they can easily be dressed up or down.

Bucket Bag

I’ve been searching for a bucket bag for a while now and fell involve with this vegan leather one from Modmopolitan. It’s so buttery soft just like real leather and also comes with a removable cross-body strap. I haven’t used the strap yet, but it’ll be perfect for those days that I don’t want to carry it.

Pink Block Heels

These Dolce Vita shoes I found at T.J.Maxx a few months ago continue to be one of my favorites (so far I’ve already worn them here, here, here, and here) and I love how perfectly they match this dress I bought a few years ago. You can find a similar pair of shoes here.

    I know they say no one is perfect, I tend to disagree. Because I know there are some perfect gals in Champaign Illinois. They are so and compassion in everything they do! This is not my opinion it is a fact. You are simply the best at everything you do Cassie!

My Mother’s Day started at 4am with a nursing baby My Mother’s Day started at 4am with a nursing baby in my arms, a toddler crawling into my bed and falling asleep on my shoulder, & a doggie sleeping across my legs. 💕 They have no idea what today is, but I’m feeling so blessed to be surrounded by all my babies on Mother’s Day 👶🐶👧 Even if it was at 4am 🥱

Not pictured our dog Sydney. 🐶 I’m so tired I didn’t even notice until after we got these pictures 🤪 I knew I was forgetting something! 🙈

After laboring at home for 2 hours we JUST made it to the hospital maybe 45 minutes before he came out with 2 quick pushes! It all happened so fast my head is still spinning. 🥹 

So thankful my SIL @thedivinemissem77 answered her phone and came quickly to stay with Audrey & my hubby @npbrady9 taking care of everything else as we rushed to the hospital. ♥️ God is so good & we couldn’t be happier with the newest member of our family 🤗
