Places To Go
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, […]
Goodwill Hunting: Florida Edition (Now with More Carpet Woes and Shot Glass Chess)
They say everything’s bigger and better in Florida—well, they weren’t lying. Sunshine? Big. Mosquitoes? Bigger. Goodwill stores? Super-sized. And honestly, we are not mad about it. Today’s mission? Clothes for the boys, who apparently grow overnight like weeds on Miracle-Gro. Also, some home décor to make our place feel less “we just moved in” and more “we […]
Bonnet Springs Park: Where Nature, Science, and Sleep-Deprived Parents Collide
Let me tell you about a magical land hidden right in Lakeland, Florida. A place so beautiful, so educational, so peaceful… unless you bring a child named Quincy. Welcome to Bonnet Springs Park—where the wetlands are wild, the children’s museum is chaos (in the best way), and your calves will scream for mercy by the end. So […]
Florida Regret? Cancelled. Thanks to a Skillet Full of Glory.
You know what they don’t tell you when you pack up your life and move to Florida? That finding good Mexican food might just become your full-time job. I’m not even kidding. I was this close to mourning my Kentucky roots, not because of the weather or the move itself—but because there was no El Jimador in sight. Back […]
Florida, Buc-ee’s, and the Hat-Wearing Vampire: A Road Trip Saga
Well, well, well… as promised, here I am, reporting live at checks clock 7:27 a.m. from the cozy (and suspiciously quiet) couch in Wesley Chapel, Florida. Yes, I’m actually here. Yes, on purpose. Sort of. Let’s just say, in the great democracy of our family, I was the one dissenting vote on this road trip… and I still ended […]
Blockheads and Bangers: My Night at The Minecraft Movie Premiere
Last night, I witnessed cinematic history. No, not some Oscar-bait drama where everyone whispers and stares meaningfully into the distance. I’m talking about The Minecraft Movie. Yes. That Minecraft. Blocks. Creepers. Crafting tables. And somehow… absolute magic. Let me be very clear: I do not play Minecraft. I don’t even know what half the stuff in the game […]
Gators, Turtles, and Signs of Questionable Life Choices: A Day at Moccasin Lake Nature Park
Today, we traded sunscreen and sandy flip-flops for some solid nature vibes at Moccasin Lake Nature Park in Clearwater, Florida. It’s a beautiful 51-acre patch of paradise featuring trails and boardwalks that wind under massive oak trees like they’re auditioning for the “most majestic tree” role in a Disney movie. The paths meander over streams, creeks, lakes, […]
Twistee Treat: Where Your Diet Goes to Die, and You Love Every Second of It
Have you ever experienced the pure joy of a Twistee Treat? If not, brace yourself. These iconic ice cream shops reside in what can only be described as a 25-foot-tall fiberglass temple of dairy deliciousness shaped like an actual ice cream cone. Honestly, if ancient civilizations had worshipped ice cream, Twistee Treat would be their pyramid.Now, […]
