I just recently lost my keys in my bag and them with the me the whole time. I searched the house for 30 minutes before having to leave for work in my husband’s jeep (with wet, soured interior). Needless to say, I rode to work with the windows down to and from work because of the smell. But, I love the Victoria apron and would love to see one in a giveaway. So retro!!ReplyCancel

- Cassia Denton
  Yes! The really do work!! For years, I have been doubling up my hot pads because I don’t trust any of them, especially when I bake with cast iron with a ceramic coating!! ouch! But I forced myself to be brave, and it worked perfectly! And, they’re adorable and match the darling aprons too; I even bought some for my friend already. And my pink purse…believe it or not, I got it at Burlington coat factory! I adore it!! only $45 bucks!!ReplyCancel

Neon Love ~ Littles Fashion

May 6, 2013

If I’m being really honest, I just don’t appreciate a lot of fashion trends. Is that terrible to admit? In fact, despite being a child of the 90’s, neon is one of those that I literally just have a knee-jerk reaction to. I hate it. So my mission today was to find an outfit that I could...

white jeans

April 10, 2013

I had every intention of posting photos of me this week wearing my new and very loved white jeans, but Sunday morning I woke up to a painful surprise from my kidney. I was taken to the emergency room and then to surgery to remove a kidney stone too large to pass on my own....

IKEA SPRING DECOR

Recently Jackson has been learning about ecosystems, seasons, and how a plant grows. I thought it would be a fun way to spruce up the style of our home and add a pop of color to the room to plant some of our own little seeds. Because what is more fascinating than the first baby...

The truth about pregnancy, life and body image

April 8, 2013

Hi, this is me. Not my typical tightly cropped, ultra flattering image, but the real deal (also, not the image from my profile page, conveniently taken prior to me starting fertility and getting pregnant with the twins.) I’m not saying it’s terrible, but it’s certainly not where I want to be. I would be lying if...

Thank you for the “real” post cass. I agree that going through the roller coaster of weight gain and pregnancy can be so overwhelming!

A new top goes a long way and girl you look amazing. Trying to gear up for the whole process again. It’s like a mountain isn’t it?

You are an amazing, hard worker. You’ll get there lady. XoxoReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  It’s true, but I’d be lucky to get to where you have gotten post pregnancy! You are awesome girl!ReplyCancel
Melissa
Thank you Thank you for this wonderful post. That is truly one of my biggest struggles.

And of the short time we were in the same ward, I always thought you looked so beautiful.

Keep it up. 🙂ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  You’re so sweet. And thank you so much for reading Melissa!!ReplyCancel
Kali
You look great Cass. I am not just saying that to say it like I would write in someone’s yearbook “Have a fun summer! We should hang out sometime…..” NOT. You really do look good. You are beautiful inside and out and I have always thought that. I envy your dimples. I LOVE the outfit. I don’t have a real sense for fashion, but I know enough to know how good it feels to wear clothes that fit-no matter what size I am. It really does make a big difference. Totally agree with you there. Good luck with your weight loss journey. You have done it before and you will do it again.ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  Thanks so much Kali! And thank you again for all of the great recipes!! I’m totally loving all of them!ReplyCancel
Mandy
So proud of you Cas! And I couldn’t agree more with everything you said in this post and I also completely agree that you are pretty awesome 😉ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  Girl, I just miss your face. I hope you felt better about where you’re at seeing where I’M AT!! ugh. lol (not that it’s good to compare) Thanks for always reading!! you’re the best!ReplyCancel
Chriss
Hey there lady!
I love reading your posts!
I too struggle with the weight issue. I start two weeks ago getting back on track, when all my recently bought clothes started to get tight. Heck I loved being able to get smaller sizes and that feeling WHAT AM I DOING EATING ALL THE CRAP!?

Anyways one of my favorite recipe sites is http://dashingdish.com/
Beware she loves things a bit too sweet so I back off all the stevia and usually use a little honey instead.
I love her shakes and her easy Cheesy Burritos (my kids even eat them with the beans in it!!). You should definitely check her out!

Good luck lady! I know you can do it. You are amazing!ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  Thank you so much Chrissy! I clearly know how you feel. And I LOVE dashingdish, thanks for sharing!! I can’t wait to try some recipes out!!ReplyCancel
Karie
We believe in being honest… And thank you for that! Thank you for helping to motivate me… AGAIN to keep working on the ever going battle of the bulge. Unfortunately family genes play a big part in this battle, but it can be won. It has before and will be again. Just NEVER give up. All of my girls are beautiful! ( they get it from their Dad!)ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  It definitely has been won before and WILL ABSOLUTELY be won again! And I get it from my mama!! 🙂ReplyCancel
Michelle
You look lovely! Nothing more sexy than a lady who has created life.
“I like me. I think I’m pretty dang awesome actually. However, I really hate this one thing…my size.”
That is EXACTLY how I was before I stopped nursing and was able to lose the weight. Thanks for posting about this hard subject.ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  Michelle, you are so fantasic! I cannot believe how incredible your weight loss has been! You always were and still are totally AWESOME! Thank you for reading…it’s hard to put stuff up like this, but harder if no one cares. 🙂ReplyCancel
Amanda
I love this post! When I got married I put on the lbs fast! Then I got my disease thang and the medicine made me gain even more weight! I always joke, I’ve never had a baby but I look like I just had one! I’m always struggling with my weight. I’m currently in the on going process of losin it and liking what I see! I agree with you, fitting fashion helps. I don’t like the thought “when I lose weight I’ll get clothes that I love” no way! Love your clothes now and it will certainly help how you see yourself. Anyway, I’d more than love to do the journey with you! I was just talking to Blake like an hour ago saying I want to make toning and conditioning my hobby! Something I enjoy!ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  I remember reading about that on your blog. That must have been really hard. I will say, that your efforts to lose the weight and get healthy even amid the chaos was really inspiring for me, especially since I was in the middle of losing the weight from my first pregnancy.ReplyCancel
Jax
I love the personal posts! And you are so right about body image being universal for pretty much all women; I’m tiny but still struggle with loving my body too. But I agree, clothes that fit really do make a big difference:) And while you may not be happy with where your body is now, the one thing we don’t see when we look in the mirror is how we look when we interact with others. So you don’t get to see the sparkle you have, and the way you “glow!” And that is worth so much more than what size we are.ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  Thanks so much for reading AND for your comment! You’re seriously so sweet, and so right. 🙂 And You are so small, but like I said, even my tiniest of friends have at one point or another expressed dissatisfaction with their bodies.ReplyCancel
Aleesha
What a completely applicable post TO EVERYONE. I don’t care if you are 10 lbs or 100 lbs overweight, when you feel un-attractive, you have a tendency to dress that way and the cycle just perpetuates itself! I looked at a picture of myself the other day and went HOLY COW! I have seriously put on like 10 lbs in the last MONTH because its been so stressful around here, and I have found myself putting on the raggedy yoga pants and oversized shirts- but I am going to take your advice and work harder on dressing pretty for MYSELF! AND losing weight. Because I don’t feel healthy and after 4 babies my body just won’t jump back into shape! I would love some support group to motivate and share…however only if I am not predjudiced agains because I am not overweight- just unhealthy…and isn’t that just as bad?ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  Um, yeah. Definitely too tiny to join. lol Just kidding. But kind of not. 🙂 I think aiming to be healthy is always the best goal to have! Not “thin” but HEALTHY!ReplyCancel
Janae
Perfect Post Cassia! I have gained and lost a total of 500 pounds over the past 16 years! And, the weight I gained from the adoption of my son, is the weight I haven’t been able to totally get rid of….go figure. Stress eating? age? I’m not sure, but it’s a battle for everyone living in this day and age with all the crap in our foods – and we don’t have to go out and hunt it with a bow and arrow. No calories being burnt as I sit in the McDonalds drive through 🙂 hahaReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  Girl, you’re like seriously my inspiration! (And ps: Stress eating is HUGE!! ugh!)ReplyCancel
Whitney
This post is sooo applicable to my life right now! I was shopping in Target with my husband and mother-in-law when I found super cute, cheap, colored capris! Immediately I thought, no way. I am pregnant, and will grow, am growing, and I only ever wear the same comfortable thing everyday. Not only that, but I’m a stay-at-home mom. Where do I go to be seen in such pretty things? THANK GOODNESS for my MIL who encouraged to buy them anyway. I did and I feel great and LOVE them! Oh thank heavens for pretty clothes!! And supportive families 🙂ReplyCancel
- Cassia Denton
  I’m so glad you did!! You’ll look so HOT especially preggers! Ow Ow!! Thanks for always reading Whitney! You rock.ReplyCancel
