Places To Go
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 […]
Back in the Bluegrass
Well, here we are – 8 a.m. on a Thursday, and guess what? We’re back in Kentucky. The second we crossed that state line, it felt like home wrapped us in a hug… then immediately smacked us with a brisk 58-degree morning chill. Don’t get too comfortable, though—my weather app is already predicting high 80s […]
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 […]
The Last Saturday Before School: Fueled by Donuts & Retail Therapy
Listen, some people spend their last Saturday before school starts sleeping in, savoring every last moment of summer laziness. Not us. Nope. We were up and at ‘em bright and early, fueled by Dunkin’—because life is too short for bad coffee, and also because donuts. By 9 a.m., we were living the dream: The Bad Guys […]
Coffee, Homework, and Health Insurance Headaches
Sometimes you just need to get out of the house. Not for anything glamorous—just for sanity, space, and maybe a refillable cup of caffeine. Today’s study session is brought to you by Starbucks lobby seating, where the coffee is endless (if you know the hack). Okay, I didn’t know either, but apparently if you hang […]
