I'm Cass, creator of 3 Kids and a Cat! In March 2025, I received a call at work that not only changed my life forever but the lives of the people I hold closet in this world. As I began this new unexpected chapter supporting my sister and her three kids with their unmeasurable loss not in my worst nightmares could we have predicted how a few months later that tragedy would return to our lives. Only this time I would be the one making the call. Here I am as an auntie with a promise.

After drowning in the emotions, memories, and feelings trapped inside me I knew that I couldn't continue to push these down. Everything felt too big, too heavy, and I didn't have the luxury of time, space, and healing that's when it came to me I would start a blog. Although it began as a personal space that I could use to document this journey from my perspective the ups, downs, challenges, and celebrations I soon realised that this could become a community that offers support, connection, healing, and creative outlet. 

Not the polished version or the “we’re fine” version, but the real one. The grief, the pressure, and the responsibility of becoming something you never planned to be, discovering my identity again, alongside the moments that still matter the laughter, the small wins, celebrating them, and the days that feel normal again, even if just for a second.
