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, two cats, and a dog. I created this to reach out to other women like me. I am heavily involved in my kids' elementary and middle school. (I’m the Social Media Director of the PTO, am President of the SAC, and am room mom.) I also enjoy traveling, baking, cooking, and crafting! I live for home decor and go all-out decorating for the holidays. 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 fashion finds. I lost my brother to suicide in 2008 which definitely altered the way I live my life in more ways than I 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!

Susie Lynn No Comments

I have about ten different recipes and my own trial and error to thank for the making of this lasagna. Just like beer cheese soup, the cheese is what makes all the difference. Don’t buy the pre-shredded bagged swill, invest in some decent blocks of cheese from the cheese counter. My favorites to use are […]

Susie Lynn No Comments

With spring break only a few weeks away, I wanted to make a list of my spring break essentials. While this year my family is road-trippin’ through South East Colorado (hitting up Glenwood Springs, Cortez, Mesa Verde, and Telluride), we usually go to a warmer climate with a beach, so this list is for that […]

Fitness Routines for the Lazy Chick

Susie Lynn No Comments

I have never been a gym rat and won’t ever pretend to be. I mean, I did marching band as my physical activity in high school AND college. But once my thirties hit and my metabolism slowed down, I decided I’d need to at least attempt to workout out more. We have an unfinished basement […]

Date Night in RiNo

Susie Lynn No Comments

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 […]
