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!

I was a late bloomer to the makeup world. Hell, I was just a late bloomer period. Anyone that went to high school with me can attest to that. In fact, I can still hear one boy in particular who shall remain namless (but has since gotten fat and bald), yelling to my college prep […]

Tips for Long Flights with Infants

Susie Lynn No Comments

What to pack: Through the decade that we’ve been together, my husband and I have traveled a lot, both with and without kids. Our oldest daughter spoiled us in the fact that she was an easy traveler right from the start. When our second daughter arrived, however, things got a lot more challenging. Not just […]
