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.

Workin’ from Dunkin’

This morning started the way all good mornings should: with a scooter ride and pumpkin spice in my veins. Quincy, Michael, and I hopped on our new electric scooters (we fancy now) and zipped him off to school like we were starring in our own little scooter parade. From there, Michael and I just kept […]

Y’all, I Cannot Stay Well!

My gosh, guys. I cannot stay well to save my life! I don’t know what in Hades is going on with me, but first it was that week of pure exhaustion and a headache that made me want to just crawl into the couch cushions and never come out. Then, just when I thought I […]

Long Days, Heavy Bags, and a Little Bit of Relief

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, I walked into Moffitt Cancer Center for my 210-minute Dextran iron infusion. That’s three and a half hours, folks, but spoiler alert—it turned into seven […]

Hematology Appointment: Finally, Somebody’s Trying to Fix Me

I’ll be getting my very first—and Lord willing, my only—210-minute iron infusion in the next couple of days. They even had an opening […]

2025 Sucks! (And Yes, I Said That as Politely as Possible)

Y’all, let me just go ahead and put it out there: 2025 has been straight-up trash. And that’s me saying it in the most polite, ladylike way I can manage, because this is a family blog. What I really want to say would probably get me kicked off the internet. In February, I lost my Nannie—my best […]

Simply Sina: Operation Monkey Madness

I’m on a mission, y’all. Not just any mission. A monkey mission. Yes, you read that right. I want a monkey so bad I can practically hear one chattering in my ear right now. And guess what? Florida—the land of alligators, hurricanes, and Publix subs—actually lets you have one as a pet. Don’t threaten me with […]

Busy Before Breakfast: A Simply Sina Morning

Well folks, it’s 8:30 AM and I’ve already lived a whole lifetime. Downstairs? Clean. Kids? Fed. One shipped off to school. The other? About to be escorted to the gates of education by yours truly in just a few minutes. Meanwhile, my bathroom looks like a crime scene the cleaning crew forgot, but we don’t talk […]
