Nannie is probably turning over in her grave…
in a good way, though. I am making homemade pumpkin pies! Go ahead and reread that if you need to. But yes, you read it correctly. I, Sina, am in this kitchen today attempting something that feels very “grown woman holiday homemaker”… and also very “what on earth am I doing.” I am making homemade […]
Welcome to the World, Miss LakeLynn Ann
Welp guys, the little turd did not wait. Miss LakeLynn Ann was supposed to make her grand entrance on my birthday. She was going to be MeeMaw’s birthday present, wrapped in pink, squishy, newborn goodness, but her little self decided that yesterday was the day. On November 20, 2025 at 1:41 pm, weighing 7 pounds […]
Happy Wednesday, y’all — We’re Halfway to Thanksgiving!
We are officially halfway through the week before Thanksgiving, and let me tell you… the countdown is on. The kiddos only have a couple more days of school, then they’re home all next week, and honestly? I don’t know what in the turkey-stuffin’ world we’re going to do with ourselves. Pray for me. Light a candle. Hide the Oreos. […]
Happy Monday, Y’all!
Well, hey there, friends! Happy Monday from the festive side of Wesley Chapel! Let me tell you — we spent yet another Saturday down in Clearwater, and I swear every time we go, Florida turns the dial up on our holiday spirit just a little bit more.

Happy Hump Day
We found out yesterday that we’ve finally been approved to volunteer at Quincy’s school—and might I just say—it’s about dang time! Even better, we get to tag along with his class (maybe the whole third grade?) to the Tampa Zoo this Friday. I’m so excited I can hardly stand it. I’ve always loved the zoo. […]
Ho Ho Ho!! Holiday Kick-Off, Florida-Style

Gators, Glitter, and Getting Lit (Florida Style)
First things first—remember me saying before there’s a gator in the lake directly behind our house? Well, y’all… there IS a gator in the lake directly behind our house! I’m talking real deal, tail-slappin’, sun-loungin’, Florida gator. I spotted him yesterday when I went out to snap a picture of this massive softshell turtle just […]
From Power-Ups to Peppermint: Quincys Birthday Bash and the Start of Simply Sinas Holiday Season
Hey yall! I know, I know… I disappeared on you again. I swear it is never intentional life just gets busy, and before I know it, I have blinked and a whole week has gone by. But this time, I have a good excuse. We spent ALL DAY Saturday (and when I say all day, […]
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 […]
