Welcome!

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

I'm a Colorado native and currently live in Castle Rock, Co with my husband and two daughters, ages seven and ten. I created this blog as a creative outlet that could reach out to other women like me. I am heavily involved in my kids' elementary school: I’m on the PTO, am President of the SAC, and am room mom to both of my girls' classes. I also enjoy traveling the world with my husband, baking, cooking, and crafting! I've been a vegetarian since I was six so I have a ton of recipes to share, tips for hosting parties, travel tips, and product reviews. I lost my brother to suicide in 2008 which definitely altered the way I live my life in more ways than I'd imagined it would. Losing him taught me to stop sweating the small stuff and say "fuck off" to anyone or anything that brought negative energy into my life. My aunt would always tell me and my cousin that we "Looked like angels until we opened our mouths." Well, over the years that hasn't changed. So if you are the faint of heart that gasps at an occasional cuss word (okay - a LOT of cuss words) or a makeup free photo, this probably isn't going to be your cup of tea. Otherwise, I encourage you to grab some coffee (preferably in a Rae Dunn mug), sit back, and enjoy the ride!

My husband turned 36 this past weekend, and to celebrate I planned a date night full of fun for us. My mom and her boyfriend babysat our girls overnight so we could get a hotel downtown in Denver and make an evening of it, sans our ankle-biters and we had a blast! I had heard […]

My Recent Shopping Splurge

Susie Lynn No Comments

I have never been a big gambler. As a wise Carrie Bradshaw once said, “I like my money right where I can see it – hanging in my closet.” Couldn’t agree more. However, my husband loves to gamble. And on a recent trip to Vegas for work he gambled away some money, but always being […]

Out of the mouths of babes

Susie Lynn No Comments

I love when kids say funny shit. It’s just hilarious to me to hear their little voices say such profound and entertaining nuggets. My five year old is no exception. In fact, I keep a running list on my phone of all the funny things her and her sister say and when I write them […]
