Hey, I'm Linz!

I started blogging back in 2005! I enjoyed tweaking that blog just as much as writing and so began a career designing websites as well as the creation of Pretty Darn Cute Design. After 15 years, I sold my Feminine WordPress Themes business, and am back doing custom web design, while having so much fun creating lifestyle content regularly again. My new home on the web here is a culmination of the past 16 years, and a fun, fresh beginning.

I’ll be sharing all of the recipes from my old blogs, a lot of new recipes, random fun, and a few nerdy tech posts here and there for my fellow bloggers and business owners. I’m thrilled you’re here, thank you so much for stoppin’ by! xo Linz

Mentally rearranging this shirt to say “Mama’s Tired” today 😴😆 Groggy, but grateful for my babies 💖

The words you choose to say to yourself alter the

The words you choose to say to yourself alter the way your brain filters information. I would probably fight someone for saying some of the stuff I’ve said to myself, to someone I care about. Yet, we let the negativity flow so easily when it comes to ourselves. It’s something I’ve worked on tremendously over the years, and something I actively correct in my friends and family. We don’t do “that’s too hard” or “I’m not strong enough” or any qualifiers … “but” is a bad word in this house. I speak from experience when I say small changes in this area will make a HUGE impact on your daily quality of life.

“I’m not strong enough” turns into “I’m excited to build strength and tackle that…”That’s too hard” turns into “I’m going to push myself and can’t wait to experience how good that will feel to accomplish.” Keep it on the up and up, y’all!

Each day before school I tell my girls they’re going to have a good day, not “have a good day” - and they know that means no matter what pops up, they’re going to find the good in it. The goal is to build an impenetrable shield of joy, and not allow unforeseen circumstances to alter our state of being.

When I sit down to work at my desk each day I set my intention, I WILL do productive, meaningful work with a smile on my face. Tell yourself, on repeat if necessary, you WILL have a good day. Totally works.

I’m sharing a bit of my journey from people plea

I’m sharing a bit of my journey from people pleaser to living my best life over on the blog today in hopes it gives you the same lightbulb moment I had earlier this year.

The best part? Finding your true people. Those who don't care that you cuss, that can agree to disagree without losing their minds. Lifelong learners who don't think they know everything. Good Listeners. Those people are out there, and trying to please the ones who are none of those things keeps you from connecting with them.

No more catering to people you wouldn’t even want to hang out with. Ever.

Be Whiskey in a Teacup. Bold, strong, kind, gentle, fierce. Be You. All of you. 👊🏻💖

I’m raising fierce, sugar loving, little dragons 🐉😂 Being their Mama is the absolute joy of my life! Watching them grow into the young ladies they’re becoming, seeing in their actions that they’ve truly paid attention to everything I’ve taught them (good and bad 🤦🏻‍♀️ ) over the years is indescribable. These two little rays of sunshine have had the best first week of school! Yaya and Poppy even brought them those dang massive crumbl cookies to celebrate their first day. Spoiled and so loved!

With all the heaviness going on in the world these

With all the heaviness going on in the world these days, I find it helpful to remember to find stupid things to laugh about. Luckily I have a family who also laughs at the most asinine things, and a library of memes that get me back to equilibrium. You can even create a trigger within your thinking, anytime you feel things taking a dark turn immediately think of the dumbest/funniest thing you’ve heard lately. Then take deep breaths and stuff, totally helps. Promise. Related: feel free to send me all the memes. They never get old 🤷🏻‍♀️😆 xo
