About Tyler

I’m Tyler. I’m a mid-thirties (eek!) attorney working for a massive company in Northwest Arkansas (you can probably guess!). I have a fluffy little mutt named Louie (who made me second-guess ever having kids because I don’t think I could love a human as much as I love him). I recently lost my thirteen year old toy poodle named Dolly (that I got when she was twelve) — I wasn’t ready for it, and I still miss that tiny broad so badly it hurts. Once my heart is ready, I fully intend to adopt another crotchety old dog.

I got married in March 2019 to the most incredible guy on the planet. I became a mom on January 10, 2020 to the coolest little girl I’ve ever met. Her name is Scout and she has the juiciest legs. 

After multiple years of vegetarianism, I converted to veganism in May 2018. It has become so much more than a style of eating, and my life and values have shifted significantly since making the change. I talk about it a lot, but I try not to get preachy — I just want everyone to feel as great as I do and make the world a happier place. If you have any questions about that, I’m happy to answer.

I’m a Mary Sunshine optimist. It’s pretty gross. Ever seen The Middle? I’m Sue Heck. I’m an Oklahoma Sooner, a proud Choctaw, a staunch feminist, an ex-gymnast, and a plant killer. 

I’ve now been blogging, off and on, for over fifteen years, starting with Xanga and finally landing here. I’m a Seinfeld of the blog world, a true blog about nothing (and absolutely everything). I run the gamut from recipes to budgeting to current events to my dreams about Sasquatch to travel and beyond. Hell, sometimes I even get fashion-y because I’ve found that most fashion bloggers don’t know a damn things about office-appropriate workwear (sorry, fashion bloggers, I can’t wear leather culottes to the office).

Some things I love:

  • Clean sheets
  • Game of Thrones (more specifically, Brienne of Tarth)
  • Dark chocolate
  • Sparkling water
  • J.R.R. Tolkien
  • Thriller novels
  • Cross stitching
  • Roseanne (the old badass show, not the present-day racist actress)
  • The smell of lavender
  • Vietnamese food
  • Black and white movies

Here are a few posts I wrote that I like (and that may give you a better idea of what you’re getting yourself into!):

  • A quick hello and introduction.
  • I wrote about the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show (+ the ensuing body shaming) and it got almost three million hits. Not my finest of actual writing work, but I love it because it reached so many people!
  • How I got my privilege checked.
  • That time I got my tongue stuck in a bottle.
  • Robin Williams, suicide, and mental illness. Undoubtedly one of my more serious posts.
  • Probably the most researched post I’ve ever written, I wrote this death penalty piece in April 2017, when Arkansas wanted to execute eight men in eleven days.
  • Finally, why I write about everything from suicide to fire ants, and why I will never shy away from writing about controversial topics that matter to me.

I’m glad you’re here. If you need me (or just want to swap dream stories about how I came upon Chuck Norris delivering a baby horse), you can shoot me an email, twit at me, or find me posting pictures of my dogs and/or food on Insta.

However you want to do it, please get in touch. I’d love to talk! ♥

why, hi. i’m ty.

why, hi. i’m ty.

I'm Tyler (you can call me Ty). Tyler Lucille, if you wanna be formal.

I'm a thirty-six year old new mom, a lawyer, and the introverted wife of a wildly extroverted photographer.

I believe:

- you don't have to be twenty-five to be fashionable or fun.
- vegan food doesn't have to taste like lawn clippings
- you can save money and pay down debt without feeling like a deprived loser
- travel isn't just for the super rich boomers (or super broke kids).

... so that's what I write about!
