And So It Begins…
Well friends… here we go. This afternoon we have our first official paid Santa and Mrs. Claus gig, and I’ve gotta ask — should I be this nervous?! I mean, we’ve done the prep, the outfits are ready, and Santa B is already in character… but my stomach is doing that little flip thing anyway. What makes […]
Happy Belated Thanksgiving… Do People Even Say That?
Happy belated Thanksgiving, y’all!Wait—do people even say that? I don’t know, but we’re gonna roll with it because we were so busy/lazy (heavy emphasis on the lazy) that I didn’t even think about doing a check-in. My bad, friends. So instead… here I am, on December 3rd, with my late Thanksgiving love and early Christmas chaos. Classic […]
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 […]
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. Santa B, Mrs. Sina Claus (yours truly), Elf Carson, and Elf […]
Ho Ho Ho!! Holiday Kick-Off, Florida-Style
Ho Ho Ho!! We had ourselves a holiday-filled weekend, y’all! It all started Saturday down in Clearwater with a photoshoot featuring the big man himself — SANTA! (Or Michael, if you know you know). It was such a blast watching kids of all ages light up when they saw Santa strolling down the street. And […]
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 […]
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 […]
“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 […]
