Grace, Beauty, and F Bombs

I'm a born-and-raised Colorado girl currently living in Castle Rock with my husband, two daughters, two cats, and a dog. I started my blog on this little corner of the internet to find other women like me. (The ones who are juggling kids, hobbies, chaos, friends, and a personality that’s just a touch “too much” for PTO/PTA meetings.) Speaking of PTO: I’m very involved in my kids’ elementary and middle schools. I’m the PTO’s Social Media Director, President of the SAC, and the room mom who shows up with themed snacks because I don’t know how to chill. I love traveling, cooking, crafting, and I go feral for home décor. Holidays? I decorate like I’m competing on HGTV and the prize is my sanity. I’ve been a vegetarian since I was six, and I have recipes, hosting tips, travel hacks, and fashion finds coming out of my ears. I also lost my brother to suicide in 2008, which massively shifted the way I live my life. It taught me to stop sweating the small stuff and say “fuck off” to anyone/anything that brings bad vibes into my orbit. My aunt always said my cousin and I “looked like angels until we opened our mouths.” Well, that’s still true. So if you clutch your pearls over a few cuss words (fine…many cuss words) or the occasional makeup-free selfie, this probably isn’t your cup of tea. But if you’re here for real talk, creativity, and good laughs, grab some coffee (preferably in a Rae Dunn mug), buckle up, and enjoy the ride.
