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
Well, folks, the hematology appointment was actually a success. Can I get an amen? At least somebody is finally going to try and fix whatever my 44-year-old body thinks it’s doing pretending to be 70. 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 […]
Introducing Simply Sina Graphic Designs!
Well folks, I did it again—I went and made a whole new page for the blog. Yep, another Simply Sina adventure has officially been born: Simply Sina Graphic Designs! Since I’ve been cranking out graphics for this site and for the shirts I sell on TikTok (👉 check them out here 👈), I figured—why keep all the fun to myself? Now, I’m […]
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 […]
First News on the Chopping Block: I Opened a TikTok Shop
Big announcement, friends—I have officially opened a TikTok Shop! That’s right, Simply Sina has gone retail, and I’m filling it with all my personally designed t-shirts. You’ll find goodies from: Oh, and because I love you (and because I’m just that extra), I’ve also added some holiday shirts that I designed myself. Cute, festive, and ready for […]
Stuck Between a Couch and a Hard Place
This past week has been brutal. For six days straight, I’ve had the worst headache and fatigue of my life. The pain settles right at the base of my skull, and anytime I try to get up and move around, the dizziness kicks in and I feel like I can’t catch my breath. I wish […]
