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!

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 […]

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 […]
