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!

I can’t even remember which site I stole this recipe off of, but it’s a good one. I make these when I’m trying to eat a bit healthier. (Cough cough, like at the end of Girl Scout cookie season cough cough.) They give you a tiny hit of dark chocolate to curb your sweet tooth, […]

What No One Tells New Moms

Susie Lynn 2 Comments

I’ve gotten so caught up in giving tips for classroom parties, recipes, and skincare recommendations, that I felt it was time to cut through the bullshit and get real. Like, really real. I was inspired after discussing with Vince all the things we had to learn the hard way as new parents. Our neighbor just […]
