Oh, sweet sunshine and questionable decisions—we’re finally in Florida! Two whole weeks of fun, relaxation, and a little bit of chaos. Our grand arrival followed a 16-hour odyssey, with yours…
They say everything’s bigger and better in Florida—well, they weren’t lying. Sunshine? Big. Mosquitoes? Bigger. Goodwill stores? Super-sized. And honestly, we are not mad about it. Today’s mission? Clothes for the boys,…
The morning Marion decided to sell the cabin, the lake was already half-thawed. Jagged fractures split the ice like veins under aging skin, and the sky held that clean, empty…
I know…it’s been a couple of days. And whew, let me tell you—it’s been a rough couple of days at that. Let’s rewind back to Friday. At 6:30 a.m., bright-eyed and not-so-bushy-tailed,…
Last night, I witnessed cinematic history. No, not some Oscar-bait drama where everyone whispers and stares meaningfully into the distance. I’m talking about The Minecraft Movie. Yes. That Minecraft. Blocks. Creepers. Crafting tables.…

Quincy’s Almost-Nine, and I’m Almost in Denial

Y’all. Quincy turns NINE on Monday. Nine! I genuinely don’t understand how that’s possible. I swear he was just sitting in a high chair eating puffs and making dinosaur noises last week. Now he’s correcting my math and giving me opinions on my TikToks. (Excuse me, sir, I’m the influencer here.) Anyway, his big birthday wish this year is […]

October’s Almost Over… and I Still Haven’t Made It to a Pumpkin Patch

How is October already almost over? I swear I blinked and went from “it’s finally fall” to “grab the turkey platter.” And somehow, I still haven’t made it to a real pumpkin patch. Not the grocery store parking lot kind with a few sad pumpkins, or the cute little man-made one we saw at St. […]

Well Bless It, Etsy’s Gone & I’m Moving On!

Y’all… I have been wrestlin’ with Etsy for over a week now, and let me tell you, it’s been a whole saga. Apparently, they decided there was some kind of “security issue” — whatever that means — and poof, they closed my shop. Just like that. One minute I’m uploading new wax melt listings and […]

Harmony’s Grand Exit: Goose Eggs, Scooters, and a Whole Lotta Sass

Well, y’all, it’s official—Harmony has packed up her tiny suitcase, waved her little princess hand, and headed back home. The house is quieter now… too quiet. You know that kind of quiet where you’re not sure if you should enjoy it or start cleaning something just to fill the silence? Yeah, that kind. We had […]

“She’s Florida-Bound, Bless Her Heart!”

Well hey y’all, look who finally crawled out from under her wax melts and scooter rides! That’s right—me. I know, I know… I totally flaked and ghosted y’all like a bad Tinder date, but hear me out! Life’s been lifing in the best way. I’ve been melting wax, snapping photos, riding bikes and scooters, and making memories with […]

It’s Finally Friday!

Well y’all, it’s finally Friday—and I mean finally. Even though we didn’t make it home until early Monday morning, this week has felt about fourteen days long. Maybe it’s just the post-trip exhaustion catching up with me, or maybe it’s that weird in-between weather Florida’s got going on right now. Either way, I’m ready for the weekend! The boys […]

Back Home, Finally (and Barely Functioning)

Well, we made it back home this morning — hallelujah and pass the coffee! The trip was actually great. We had the best time visiting everyone, running all over creation, and trying to pretend we weren’t exhausted. Jimmy’s memorial was beautiful, and I swear he was right there with us the whole time. I even got his […]

Back in the Bluegrass

Well, here we are – 8 a.m. on a Thursday, and guess what? We’re back in Kentucky. The second we crossed that state line, it felt like home wrapped us in a hug… then immediately smacked us with a brisk 58-degree morning chill. Don’t get too comfortable, though—my weather app is already predicting high 80s […]

Buckle Up, Besties… It’s Gonna Be a Week

Whew. Y’all, we’ve got ourselves a busy week ahead. Pack the bags, load the snacks, and say a prayer for my sanity—we’re heading back to Kentucky. This weekend is Jimmy’s memorial service. Part of me wants to go with all my heart, because honoring my big brother is the least I can do. But the other part […]

Triple Digits, Baby: Celebrating 100 Simply Sina Posts

Well, butter my biscuit and call me consistent because would you believe this right here is my 100th post on Simply Sina?! ONE. HUNDRED. POSTS. If I had a dollar for every word I’ve written here, I might actually be able to pay for Starbucks pumpkin muffins instead of just daydreaming about them. When I started […]
