Hi! I’m Kacie!

Welcome to my blog! I love animals, writing, reading, cooking, traveling, and singing! I live on the beautiful Oregon Coast with my husband, glamorous cat Grizzabella, and (up until recently) naughty rabbit Dasher. Although a California girl at heart, at age 20 I went to New York City to study musical theater at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy. Following that adventure, I finished my degree at The University of Utah in Salt Lake City. (Go Utes!!) After college, I went to Europe where I taught English in Prague. After a while, I grew so homesick for my family and our pets that I ended up moving to Oregon where my parents had relocated. Since 2011 I have been singing on a steady basis as a jazz singer with several different bands in Southern Oregon and now recently on the Central Oregon Coast. Currently, aside from singing, I am a paralegal with a constitutional-rights non-profit and I am working on my Master of Arts in Law with a concentration in Advanced Paralegal Studies through Regent University. In my free time, I love to take walks on my beach; look for whales in Depoe Bay; spend time in my kitchen; and write children’s stories, especially stories about animals. One day I dream of seeing my stories published!!

In the meantime, I will keep belting out torch songs and spoiling my pets: my little furballs. Past and present, they have been considered part of the family. They have provided laughter, joy, comfort, and companionship. I hope as you read this blog that you find yourselves smiling and laughing over stories of my pets, past, and present. Life can be exhausting, and in my opinion, we all need a furry little family member to meet us at the door at the end of a long day. I hope my stories of Grizzabella and Dasher will do just that for you!!
