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 cousin Mary and I are three weeks apart and best friends. She’s not just a Forever Friend because we’re related and she wouldn’t be able to dodge me at family gatherings, but because we have been through a LOT together. If I have a disgusting joke to tell, I text her. If I’m having […]
