HELLOOOO FRIENDS!

I can’t tell you what a thrill I just had logging on and clicking that old familiar “Add New Post” button. Feels like opening the door to an old beloved home.

A lot has happened in my life since I was blogging regularly before. I’ll catch up on some things, but really I’m just happy to be picking up right where I am now. I’ve been thinking about this space and just feeling homesick to connect in this way again.

I’ll be hopping on now and again and sharing bits of my life as a mama of 5, sharing tips I’ve picked up along the way, things I’m loving, and what’s on my heart. I’ve got lots to catch up on, so i’ll be diving right in.

Sending love to all my old readers who are finding this, and new friends too! i can’t wait to catch up with yall!

xoxo, Cass

hello from hiatus https://www.cassmiller.com/2020/03/hello-from-hiatus/ https://www.cassmiller.com/2020/03/hello-from-hiatus/#respond Fri, 06 Mar 2020 17:10:41 +0000 https://www.cassmiller.com/?p=12530 Check one, two.  Is this thing on?

It has been months since my last post.  I don’t think I’ve gone that long without posting since I started this blog in 2008.  I have missed this space, and wanted to get back to it,  but didn’t know how, so today I’m just going to jump in!

The last two years have been a doozy, and I have never needed more time to sift through myself than in these past couple of years.  I have pivoted in many ways.  After my sister suddenly passed away, she gave me a gift in being able to clearly see what was working, and what wasn’t working in my life.  What wasn’t working became absolutely unbearable in those heavy months of grief.  A lot changed around me, and my head was spinning trying to keep up.  I found it hard to write in those times because I didn’t particularly want to document the struggles I was facing everyday.  Maybe overtime I’ll write more about the lessons I learned, and changes I made.  But walking into 2020, my life feels immeasurably more purposeful and intentional, and for that, I am grateful.

Here’s what our family is up to as of late:

Mr. Miller has been busier than ever before running his two businesses.  We’ve always owned a computer and IT service store here in our hometown, and a few years ago, he developed a new phone system than highly benefits businesses.  Since development, his phone business has taken off and rapidly growing.  Last month we were in Texas for an install of a vacation rental company, and I had the best time showing my family where I used to live as a single girl, and where Mr Miller and I fell in love.  Digivoice (our phone business) has been a blessing to each business it serves, saving money and utilizing the best technology available for their communication needs.  In turn, it’s been our biggest blessing making a living helping people and saving them money.  Mr. Miller is so extremely talented in his field, and I love watching him do what he loves and is good at each day.  He runs two honest service-based businesses to provide for his family, and I am a proud wife.

I am a busy homeschool mama these days.  I have a house full of children who are here living and learning (and eating) all day, everyday.  We’re in year two of our homeschool journey, and that feels so nice.  Year one was full of trial and error, and wondering what on earth we were doing.  We’re just slightly more settled in these days, and truly truly feel like we’re where we’re supposed to be.  With Mr. Miller’s businesses on the rise, I have been able to work a bit less and just enjoy this season of motherhood.  Although I’m still running my Maskcara Beauty team, which continues to grow and break records each month.  I am a proud makeup mama! I have missed writing in my life, it’s such a way to process for me, and I’m trying to make more time for it again.

Harlo turned 11 in December!  I am seeing the time pass quickest in my older girls right now.  She is growing up right before my eyes, and I love it.  It truly seemed like she’d be little forever, and I am learning that isn’t the case.  She is a sweet and good, loving and caring young lady.  She is a good sister, letting her younger siblings sleep with her every night, and helps me with many things throughout the day.  She is thriving in school, and loves to work through her workbooks independently.  Like many pre-teens, she lives for screen-time, and a lot of our conversations stem around screen safety, and why we don’t allow social media, etc. etc.  She’s such a good girl, and follows rules eagerly.  I love this girl of mine dearly.

Stella continues to be the happiest, most easy going child we own.  She got a little electric moped for Christmas, and spends much of her free time taking the littlest ones on rides, and cruising the neighborhood her with her pal, Jemma, from up the hill.  One wonderful thing about the neighborhood we currently live in is that the girls have a sweet group of friends here.  It’s exactly what we hoped for when we moved out of our past well-loved neighborhood, downtown.  Stella is also liking homeschool still, and is probably my biggest help when it comes to the little kids.  She and Harlo started a new hip hop class this year that they can do together.  I love watching them practice together, they are the funnest little sister-friends.  I’m so grateful they’ve stayed so close.  They share friends and clothes and hobbies and never seem to tire of one another.

Grae is busy counting down the days to her 6th birthday.  We’re on 20-some-odd days now, and she’s been counting down since 86.  She’s got Frozen Fever right now, which is funny because she’s never been a princess kind of gal, until now.  She is hoping for an Elsa party, and has requested we all call her “Elsa” from henceforth.  So far, the only one complying to her new name is Major.  She sure loves her little “buddy” Major, who is her little side kick from sun-up to sun-d0wn.  Grae is by far our spiciest child, so much of our day is trying to lead her into kinder words and attitudes, and then laughing under our breath at her outrageousness.  She was recently telling me that she didn’t think it’s fair “everyone else can say bad words, but she can’t.” and asked during Sacrament a few Sundays ago if she could be allowed to say “Oh hell no!”.  That gives you just a taste of our daily conversations. 😉

Major is growing right out of his babyness everyday.  He is about as tall as Grae is now, and has outweighed her for most of his life.  He will do anything Grae tells him to do, and loves making his sisters laugh.  He and Grae just got shared bunk beds, which they love, but it still hasn’t kept him from crawling into my bed by about 4am. (I’m always tired).  He melts us all into an absolute puddle, we cannot get enough of our squishy, delishy boy.  He is tender and sweet, and is often seen in “ear muffs” position, protecting himself from the outside world.  We truly couldn’t die for him more.

Which brings me to the last, and most exciting bit of news… We are adding another little baby boy to our family this summer! Mr. Miller and I found out on a date night in October, we laughed in bewilderment and surprise.  We told our kids around the dinner table in November, the older girls cried tears of joy (which made me cry tears of all sorts of emotions), and a few weeks ago, we surprised them by finding out the gender, in our living room with a balloon full of blue confetti.  Our fifth and final little baby, a boy.  Life is so so sweet.

We painted our house | One Year Later | exterior renovation https://www.cassmiller.com/2019/06/we-painted-our-house-one-year-later-exterior-renovation/ https://www.cassmiller.com/2019/06/we-painted-our-house-one-year-later-exterior-renovation/#comments Tue, 25 Jun 2019 19:40:32 +0000 https://www.cassmiller.com/?p=12462 I can hardly believe it’s been a year since we started our exterior renovation.. starting with painting our house white.

I have had so many overwhelming moments this summer of days I hoped we’d have here last year.  It’s such a neat thing to watch an idea come to life, and for me, this is especially fulfilling in house projects because it enhances the way we live.

This year’s before and after feels a lot more “finished” than our first post last year.  Along with adding shutters, we took out some overgrown bushes in the front, which opened it up a lot.  I’m hoping by next spring we have even more pretty color lining our front flower beds… I’m a learning flower gardener, so cross your fingers for me!

We’ve come a long way!

Let me tell you something funny about both of the homes we’ve bought… when we first brought our friends and families through them.. their reactions were a bit.. underwhelming. Ha! Our first house was especially hard to have a vision for – and our second home, just didn’t quite have the “magic” we had come to love about our first house.  We heard, “It’s different than I was expecting..” and “I can’t really imagine ‘The Millers’ living here..” and “I’m excited to see what you do with it, because I can’t see it!” I guess I spoke for myself when I saw the immediate potential in the house, I thought it had darling bones, and was begging to be brought to life.

Love where you live

I used those comments to add fuel to the vision and the dream.  Now I feel our house absolutely suits “us Millers” in a sense of style + vibe, it’s more welcoming now than before, and often starts topics of conversations for us between neighbors and other home renovators online – much like fixing up our last house did.  I LOVE that.  Mr. Miller always tells me when people make comments on the house, “My wife will sure love to hear that!” he says.  I do.  I love that we’ve cleaned up our little corner of the neighborhood (and the world) in a positive way.  I love adding to the story of a home.  That kind of thing means something to me.

Paint & Shutters

The obvious favorite may be the white paint (Sherwin Williams – Alabaster White), but for me it’s the board and batten shutters (Sherwin Williams – Pavestone Grey).  We built those as a family, and that has been one of my favorite memories in this house.  We used a pinterest tutorial on board and batten shutters, Brady built them, me and the girls sanded and painted them.  It took us a month of Saturdays, and it was the BEST feeling when all 18 were built and hung!

Fixer Upper Life

I’ll have to tell you the story behind our not-so-DIY patio we DIY’d.. that’s a story for another day, though. 😉 Just know that we Millers have very little limits when it comes to house projects.  Other than getting in a little over our head sometimes, I love the way that the “fixer upper” life has shaped our lifestyle.  We may not have a farm (yet), but we’ve learned a lot about the payoff of hard work (and team work) by fixing these homes of ours up.  Wouldn’t trade the experience for all the shiny new houses in the world. 😉

If you’re in the thick of saw dust and rinsing out dishes with the hose (we can’t be the only ones who have lived through a kitchen reno!) I hope this post serves as a little nudge toward the finish line.  It IS worth the mess (and sometimes marital arguments.. amiright?).

What about you? Do house projects fill you to the top, or get hives at the thought?   Either way, I get it!

TEN YEARS!! | CASSMILLER.COM https://www.cassmiller.com/2018/07/ten-years-cassmiller-com/ https://www.cassmiller.com/2018/07/ten-years-cassmiller-com/#comments Thu, 05 Jul 2018 15:58:28 +0000 https://www.cassmiller.com/?p=9513 Y’all, I can hardly believe that my first post here was TEN YEARS AGO!!! Holy moses.  This blog has followed my life these past ten years, the best of my life.  As a newly married mama, trying to figure out running a home, to building my part-time hustle-to-career as a family  birth photographer & labor doula… birthing my own HOUSE FULL of babies along the way. Whatever the case, I have loved coming here to write all these years, and I’m grateful for the journey this blog has lead me on.

Now days, you can mostly just find me at home with my children, trying to find balance as a stay-at-home mom, as me and my husband juggle our own businesses.

Throughout the years, I have come here to spread a message of the happiness, and fulfillment motherhood brings.  That life is as beautiful as you make it.  That creating a life is happy, creative, beautiful, good, and fulfilling work, because it is God’s work.  I take genuine pleasure in these years I have at home with my young children, in the thick of mothering, being intentional about the childhood they are living, and the life we are creating here.

Y’all have heard me out through some trying times.  Dealing with tough things like recently losing my sister, and unrelenting grief, my miscarriage, dealing with an up-and-down battle with anxiety and depression.  Yet, you’ve cheered me through some of the happiest days of my life, like welcoming my children into the world, buying our first (and second) home, watching my life blossom into the happy motherhood I have always longed for.  You have watched us start businesses, and cling to happiness, and faith, and each other.  Some of you read along my blog AND do regular business with me, or with my husband.  Oh my word, HEY GIRL!  You, my tribe, have become a part of my heart.  You have been along for the ride as we build our dreams, and ride the journey of life.  The support of which, means more than anyone will ever know.

The happy perspective I enjoy sharing here, and grateful outlook I have gained, wasn’t easily won, of course.  I have walked through years of darkness in my younger days, I have seen some pits of life in divorce, death, addiction0  , abuse, and heart break, before I found light in God.  I was broken, and have become more whole because of Jesus.  I have built this life I have with the guiding light of divine help.  I hope that above all, my story is a reflection of that.

Many of you are just like me, putting your aprons on each day, doing the best you can with what you have.  Loving God, your family, and creating your own beautiful life.  Whether that’s the case, or your life couldn’t look further from my own, I’m glad you’re here.  Everyone has a seat at this table.

living happy on the holidays | Fourth Of July https://www.cassmiller.com/2018/07/living-happy-on-the-holidays-being-the-mom/ https://www.cassmiller.com/2018/07/living-happy-on-the-holidays-being-the-mom/#comments Wed, 04 Jul 2018 20:08:36 +0000 https://www.cassmiller.com/?p=9551 I’ll let you in on a little secret, new moms (and experienced mamas alike).  Every single holiday can be loaded with expectations, mostly from yourself.  I am here to give you some PRACTICAL tips for enjoying the Fourth of July (and any holiday) with your family.

You know that saying if mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.“? That couldn’t be more true right here.  I often dream of having fun, happy holiday traditions.  I think of so many good holiday traditions that I SOMETIMES I can’t fit all of those traditions into one single day.  Damn it.  But here’s the thing: Don’t sink your fun holiday because you’ve put too much pressure on yourself. (Ohhhh girrrrrl, have I done that… thinking back to a certain christmas eve that ended in tears.. on everyone’s part… ha!)

Let me tell you about my morning… well, actually, let me tell you about my evening first.  My kids were all up until past 10:00, and if you know me well you know that there are two things that stress me out more as a mother than maybe anything else, are my children properly dressed for the weather? (I know, I’m in therapy…) the other is: Have my children had enough sleep?  This one is more sensible, because my children are half of their father.   I love Mr. Miller, The Good Lord knows I do.. but if that man hasn’t had enough sleep.. He is like a grumpy old man.  Bless his heart, the man needs his sleep to be his normal patient, happy, calm self.  AT LEAST two of my children are exactly like this.

So anyway, back to the night and the kids are up NOW ALMOST TO ELEVEN, and Stella lost her tooth and we were all so excited, and we couldn’t even help it.  SO: we slept in.  We missed the fourth of july parade (holy mother 7:30am, why???)… yes, the FOURTH OF JULY parade that we grew up going to our whole entire lives… because now that I think of it: did I go EVERY SINGLE YEAR of my life?  Or did I go like 8-10 times overall, and time has faded my memory, and I have only believed I went EVERY SINGLE YEAR of my life?  Thus: put crazy pressure on myself to do the same thing with my children.  

Welp, I’m hoping the latter is true.  Because listen, over the years, our home has become part of a tradition of gathering our nearest and dearest friends, the way traditions naturally fall together, where everyone brings something to the table. And even if my house isn’t perfect, my friends will load up the dishwasher while others dish up the kids, and we all have a great time NO MATTER WHAT, and everyone looks forward to it.

That is my priority tradition (there really can be only one), so sometimes I have to sacrifice other really good traditions, for some really great traditions.  And that’s okay.  Because I think if I switch it up, and average them all out about 8-10 times over the course of the 30-ish years my kids are growing up, I think time will dull their minds into believing I did EVERY SINGLE THING, EVERY SINGLE YEAR, like we all believe our mothers did (mom, don’t even tell me the truth at this point!)

I love the fourth of July the most because it is a carefree holiday celebrating  freedom, and the life we enjoy because of all of the Americans who sacrificed for our beautiful country.

But for real, the recipe for creating a happy family tradition is actually BEING happy yourself.  So go ahead and extend the grace all over the place here.  Because (based on my theory) we’re on an 8-10 average here, y’all.  It’s gonna even out somewhere, I just know it.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! (How long can i keep that flag up?  It’s made my life.)

better than you think https://www.cassmiller.com/2017/04/better-than-you-think/ https://www.cassmiller.com/2017/04/better-than-you-think/#comments Thu, 13 Apr 2017 15:25:37 +0000 https://www.cassmiller.com/?p=8380 I am working on respecting my own personal boundaries.  This has been so hard for me to learn.  I’m really good at respecting other’s boundaries, but when it comes to myself I will say “yes” to everything, wear myself completely out, just to please those around me.  This is not healthy for me, my family, or my relationships.  I have learned that lesson the hard way this past year.

This week I’ve had to let a couple people down by saying “I can’t do that.  I do not have the time/resources/energy/priority available to assist with that.”  It’s hard for me to disappoint people.  It’s REALLY hard for me to disappoint people – especially people I love.

But here are a couple of people I did not let down this week….

 And they (along with their sisters and dad) are worth all the “no”s I’ll have to build up the courage to say.

I am feeling a bit anxious (#recoveringpeoplepleaser), but peaceful about the boundaries I’ve put in place this week.  I never want saying “yes” to something that’s not important to turn into saying “no” to something that is important.

I needed this reminder this week:

“Be peaceful. Believe in God and yourself. You are doing better than you think you are.” – Jeffrey R. Holland

Life : 

We have been beating the January blues with a quick road trip to freshen up our spirits, it was just what we needed.  We’ve got home projects starting again, hoping to actually finish this house of ours.  New floors will be going in, bathrooms remodeled, a couple other details and we will be good to go.  Finishing up the planning stages before we tackle it all. Woo!
I am more in love with having four kids than ever before.  Major has finally started sleeping, Grae is the funniest and cutest thing ever (balancing out her extreme spice), Stella has found her “thing” in gymnastics and twirls and flips around my house all day, Harlo has a real knack for piano filling my home with sweet little notes.. It seems we are in a real groove with life, and my heart feels like it’s doing the work it was made to do.  Other than the quickly passing time, I am in absolute heaven with this season I’m in.
Mr. Miller’s business just received the chamber of commerce “small business of the year” award, which feels like the biggest honor.  My husband is an honest, talented businessman and for him to get  publicly recognized for something so close to our hearts is so amazing.  Proud of him and the work he’s done these past 10 years.

Style:

Loungy, cozy style is how I’m getting through January.  I have actually really loved my decision to cut bangs – I feel like I’ve got a hairstyle going whether my hair is down and curled, or up in a messy bun.  Definitely been a welcome change.
Oversized sweaters are on a daily rotation.  Picked up some recently for 75% off at the gap outlet, and this cute one here is from Scout & Cloth.  I’ll be happy when warmer weather sets in, but I sure will be sad to have to tuck my big comfy sweaters away!
Black skinnies are Rockstars from Old Navy.. because seriously, $20 jeans.
Glasses I get asked about nonstop, firmoo!

Beauty:

Loving a super natural looking fresh face right now.  A quick highlight and contour (HAC) made simple with my maskcara pallet.  I’ve been keeping it simple on my eyes lining in oak eyeshadow with a little guilded on my upper lid.  I’m less than 5 minutes out the door.
If you’re needing help finding your right colors, shoot me an email to heygirl@cassmiller.com with a photo and I’ll color match you. 😉

LIFE :

We have been coming off the family/holiday high this week.  I always dread the Monday after family leaves, but it’s not always terrible.  I do like getting my house back in order, slowing down a bit, and touching base with just my little crew.   I’ve tried not to plan much this week, and it’s been nice to take a little beat.

I am working on my daily habits! I used to work for a doctor who said often “we are a prisoner of our habits” and I know it’s true.  I’ve been trying to reset my internal clock to be more of a morning person (can that happen?? can you train yourself to become a morning person??), as well as make my bed each day, and give my house a once-over in the mornings.  I feel so much better when I do these things, but man alive… why is it so hard to make good habits stick, and so easy to pick up bad habits?? I’ll chat more about this as I continue on this journey, but I really feel strongly about being in control of your own life, and making good choices each day.  Time to put my money where my mouth is.

My Mr. Miller got a new church calling this week.  In our faith, for people who are willing to serve, they are prayed over and guided to specific “jobs” that serve our congregation.  Mr. Miller is no stranger to church service.  This  new calling will take up some time and effort on all our parts, but gosh, that guy makes it so easy to support.  I am one that serving others comes a little harder for (ex: I barely have time to wash my own hair – you want me to what??), but not Mr. Miller.  He thrives and enjoys serving God and others, and it is so good for me to witness.  I hope to be more like him in so many ways, and I’m so grateful he’s in my corner of the ring in this life.

Also note, as much as I respect and adore my Mr. Miller, sometimes I am out right ornery with him, and he does plenty of things that drive me crazy (like NEVER hanging the keys up on the key hook by the door).  I have gushed about him a lot this week, and so I feel it’s only fair to round it out with an honest representation of our relationship.  We can bicker and sarcastically jab each other all day, but at the end of the day (and especially when he’s not near me) I think very fondly of him. 😉 Marriage can be tough, but it’s mostly the best.  Just always know that we are totally normal and like every single other couple in the world who fights about garbage chores, and how to spend the monthly budget. 😛

STYLE:

Living in these turtle necks from Target.  Old Navy Rockstar jeans make it real easy on the budget when I’m moving in and out of jeans sizes like it’s my job (thank you pregnancy and post partum.. you are the weirdest).  And lace-up flats.. I think we discussed this in last week’s installment of life + style, in other words, where have you been all my life?

TOP  | PANTS | SHOES

Cheers to a happy weekend, dear friends!!

ALSO! I am running an awesome giveaway for a micro blading session on my instagram with my brow babe @brows_out!  Head over there to enter!

Life:

Life lately has been full!  Full days, full of kids, full schedules, full hearts.  I forget how much I love this time of year.  This week we have turned our heater on for the first time and I broke out my slippers!  My favorite thing is being cozy at home – slippers on my feet, a hot meal on my table, and a fire crackling in the fireplace.  Maybe I’m not as much of a summer girl as I thought I was. 😉  Truthfully, I fall in love with each season as it rolls past.  It’s like catching up with a new friend.  I forgot how happy and lovely and cozy fall was!

Since we rearranged bedrooms, Major has been sleeping so much better!  I am feeling like a new woman.  He has gone back to waking up once a night at 3:30 to eat – where before I couldn’t get him past midnight, then 2, then 4… So we are making progress for sure!  Speaking of that little honey man, he is about as nice as they get.  Days go by without him ever crying.  Which is good, because I think he’s the only kid in the house that is true for. 😉

Grae continues to shave years off my life in her own little ways – currently it’s finding pens, markers, pastels, etc. hiding around the house, and then displaying her artwork all over my living room.  For the love of Crayola, y’all.  I don’t even know what to do with that.  Remember my two perfect oldest girls who would have never DREAMED about coloring on furniture?  Yeah, I realize now it wasn’t my shining parenting keeping them from their artistic urges.  These babies come how they come, and Grae packs a punch wherever she goes.  I know she’s going to do good things in this world with that fire in her heart.. I just hope  I survive these days to see it. ha!

The big girls continue to grow at a rapid rate, they have moved on past princesses and dress-ups and now always want to do things like watch american girl youtube videos (Stella) or play roblox (Harlo) and beg for their own social media accounts and youtube channels and I just can’t even.  “It’s too fast!” I whine to Brady every single night, “They were babies yesterday, and they’ll be teenagers tomorrow.  Can’t we call someone?  Can’t we do something?  Do something!!” But mostly I’m just loving them in their stages, even though it breaks my heart how quickly they’ve gotten here.  Also, thanks to Chloe’s American Girl Doll Channel (or one of the many others..), Stella is asking for a trip to London for her 7th birthday, so there’s that.

Style:

I am officially in the thick of motherhood, where flats, and 5 minute hairstyles, and outfits I can sit on the floor in are my jam.  I’m not even mad about it.  Cozy sweaters are my soul mate, and lace-up ballet flats?  Are you even real?  Thank you for jazzing up my momiform, you darlings, you.  My top and sweater is from Scout & Cloth, and I’ve linked similar below.

**Sidenote: I am thinking of adding more video to the blog – like makeup tutorials, hairstyle ideas, day-in-the-life type stuff.  Is that of interest to you?  It really helps when you guys tell me what you like or want to hear more about, so leave a comment if there’s something specific you’d like me to chat about!
