Dear Sugar and Caffeine: It’s Not Me, It’s You.
Listen.We’ve had some good times.You, me, a venti caramel macchiato with extra drizzle and a pastry (or three) on the side.We’ve laughed. We’ve cried. But I think it’s time we have the talk. Sugar, Caffeine — you’re toxic.Not in a fun, Britney Spears way either. I’m talking “I feel like a cracked-out raccoon who hasn’t slept since […]
Florida, Bugs, and the Legend of Omgitswicks: A Cautionary Tale
You know you’ve officially crossed into “real Florida” territory when your husband won’t stop sending you Omgitswicks videos like it’s a full-time job. And honestly? I get it. Because if you want the no-frills, bless-your-heart, hold-my-flip-phone version of what’s actually happening in the Sunshine State, Omgitswicks is your man. This dude? He will snatch up his 2002 flip phone, squint into the sun […]
It’s World Penguin Day, Baby! (Or as Quincy Calls It… JuJu Day)
Sound the icy trumpets and break out the fish-shaped confetti—because it’s World Penguin Day! Or, as my now very opinionated 8-year-old Quincy insists on calling it, JuJu Day. Why JuJu Day, you ask? Well, gather ‘round. When Quincy was a wide-eyed 2-year-old, he straight-up commandeered a penguin plushie from his big sis Carrley (zero regrets), named him JuJu, and declared that […]
I’ve Officially Entered My Digital Creator Era
Okay y’all, let’s talk about how I’ve basically become a full-blown digital Picasso overnight. I’ve been glued to my iPad like a caffeinated raccoon with a stylus, creating all the things for my merch shop. T-shirts? Check. Mugs? Oh yes. Notebooks? You know it. Basically, if it can be printed on, I’ve probably doodled on it. So […]
New Hair, Who Dis?
Okay besties, gather ‘round because your girl just had a major hair glow-up and I am FEELING MYSELF. Like, full-blown “stopping traffic with my shine” energy. Let’s start with a love letter to the hair fairy godmother herself—Maddy at Faith Hair Studio in Bardstown, KY. Babe. Queen. Miracle worker. This whole salon is like a sanctuary for bad b’s ready […]
I Opened a Store Today… and No, You Don’t Have to Put on Pants to Visit It
Guess who just opened a store today? That’s right—this girl! Before you picture me unlocking a tiny boutique with a bell on the door and a vintage cash register, let me stop you. It’s online, of course. Because I know you like to shop from your couch while eating cereal straight out of the box. No judgment. I […]
Easter at Nannie’s: Bittersweet Traditions and Banana Croquettes
We spent Easter lunch with my mom at Nannie’s house this year. It was… hard. There’s just something about walking into a home so full of memories, knowing one of the biggest hearts in the room is no longer there. Still, somehow, it ended up being a sweet day—one that made me cry, laugh, and […]
Good Friday? More Like “Oops, It’s Easter Weekend” Friday
Y’all. I just looked at the calendar and had a full-on come to Jesus moment—because it’s Good Friday and guess what’s just two days away? Easter Sunday. You know, the one with the resurrection, the pastel dresses, and the strategically hidden plastic eggs filled with sugar and chaos? Yeah. That one. And what have I done to prepare? Absolutely. Nothing. No […]
Bardstown Just Got a Biggby & I’m Basically a Barista Now (Just Kidding, But Not Really)
Stop the presses, y’all—Bardstown has officially joined the caffeinated elite. That’s right, we now have a Biggby Coffee. Go ahead and clutch your pearls. Now before they officially opened, Biggby did this soft launch thing where they were slinging FREE drinks so their baristas could get some practice in. (Um, yes please. Free AND caffeinated? Say less.) Naturally, […]
Tiny Dots, Big Feelings, and One Competitive Mom
So here’s a peek into the latest chaos at our house: Carson, acrylic paint, a swan, and an art style that requires the patience of a saint and the hand of a surgeon. Carson’s been doing online school since we lost Nannie. After her passing and our move to Florida, we knew a traditional school […]
