Welcome!

I'm Susie, a stay-at-home mom, foul-mouthed wife, world traveler, sucker for fashion, and everything in between!

I’m a born-and-raised Colorado girl living in Castle Rock with my husband, two daughters, two cats, and a dog who all work together to ensure my house is never clean for more than 12 minutes. I started this little corner of the internet to find my people - the women juggling kids, hobbies, friendships, chaos, and a personality that’s just a touch too much for a PTO meeting. (You know - the ones who bring themed snacks and probably volunteer for too many things.) I’m a lifestyle blogger and content creator sharing my favorite travel finds, recipes, home décor, fashion, hosting ideas, and everyday chaos. I’m also a PTO Social Media Director, SAC President, and room mom who apparently doesn’t know the meaning of “keep it simple.” I’ve been a vegetarian since I was six, I go feral for holiday decorating, and I believe life is too short for boring or bad vibes. After losing my brother to suicide in 2008, I learned to stop sweating the small stuff and live loudly, laugh often, and say “piss off” to anything that steals my peace. My aunt always said my cousin and I “looked like angels until we opened our mouths.” Still accurate. So if you clutch your pearls over a few cuss words (okay…let’s be honest, many cuss words), sarcasm, or the occasional makeup-free selfie where I look like I fought a toddler and lost, this may not be your cup of tea. For the rest of you, grab your coffee, buckle up, and welcome! It's going to be fun!

Susie Lynn No Comments

It’s “Fool’s Spring” in Colorado right now. We have days with nine inches of snow followed by 60 degree and sunny days. The bipolar weather can honestly make or break my mood when it gets to this time of year because I am excited for longer, warmer days. Due to that, I like to switch […]

Susie Lynn No Comments

This last week was my husband, Vince’s 40th Birthday. I had a heck of a time figuring out good men’s birthday party ideas. So I did what any suburban housewife does – went on Pinterest and googled away until I found some ideas that struck me. I didn’t want it to be cheesy or “over-the-hill” […]

Here are my must-have items to pack (besides the “no shit” items like clothing, pjs, underwear, deodorant, toothpaste, etc.) I’m assuming you already know not […]
