Spirit of the Fair: Big News, Big Feelings, Big Dreams
OH. MY. WORD. 🤯🎡📸 Guess what?!?! I got that email today—the one I’ve been refreshing my inbox for like a crazy person for the last few weeks. And y’all… I was accepted to photograph the Florida State Fair for the Spirit of the Fair contest! The fair runs February 5th–16th, and here’s how it works: I get one free day of admission to […]
January in the Ocean, Kentucky in the Wind
Welp, guys… my weekend was so exciting that I skipped both Saturday and Sunday—ha! It was fun while it lasted. I honestly knew I’d never make it 365 days in a row, but oh well… no regrets here. We had a great weekend. January 10th was spent in the ocean. Yes. The ocean. In January. Can y’all believe that? It […]
Day 3 Check-In: A Photo Chosen & Little Moments That Matter
I officially made my choice today for the Zephyrhills photo contest — and honestly, that part felt really good. Not rushed. Not forced. Just one of those okay, this is the one moments. We spent a little more time out exploring today too, just wandering and looking at things a little slower. That’s the part […]
My First Photo Contest (and Day 2 of Not Missing a Post… Barely)
So here we go… I’m about to enter my first photo contest.Nothing huge or intimidating—just a small local contest in a neighboring town, Zephyrhills. But still. A contest is a contest, and this feels like one of those “just do the thing already” moments. This afternoon, we spent a couple of hours wandering around town with the camera, just […]
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 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. […]
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 […]
Harmony’s Grand Exit: Goose Eggs, Scooters, and a Whole Lotta Sass
Well, y’all, it’s official—Harmony has packed up her tiny suitcase, waved her little princess hand, and headed back home. The house is quieter now… too quiet. You know that kind of quiet where you’re not sure if you should enjoy it or start cleaning something just to fill the silence? Yeah, that kind. We had […]
Back Home, Finally (and Barely Functioning)
Well, we made it back home this morning — hallelujah and pass the coffee! The trip was actually great. We had the best time visiting everyone, running all over creation, and trying to pretend we weren’t exhausted. Jimmy’s memorial was beautiful, and I swear he was right there with us the whole time. I even got his […]
