Places To Go
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 […]
Sunburns, Scream-Singing, and Convertible Chaos — A Miami Moment to Remember
Y’all. Let me tell you something — Carrley was in town for the week, and we were thriving. The vibes? Immaculate. The snacks? Stocked. The plans? Chaotic, unhinged, and exactly what we needed. She rolled in like a little hurricane of fun, instantly derailing any sense of routine I had (which, let’s be honest, wasn’t much […]
Smalls Sliders: Our TikTok-Fueled Foodie Field Trip
Alright y’all, let me set the scene: it’s hotter than the devil’s armpit in Florida, and what do we decide to do? Take a spontaneous (read: slightly dramatic and entirely TikTok-inspired) road trip to Clearwater just to try a place called Smalls Sliders. Because obviously, nothing says “great summer plan” like cheeseburgers and milkshakes in surface-of-the-sun weather. So […]
Treble Makers Mayhem: Pianos, Chaos, and Questionable Vocals
Listen. I went to Treble Makers thinking I’d just be enjoying a little live music with the crew. What actually happened? A full-blown concert where I was the headliner… at least in my own mind. Roll call:Michael – our musical oracle, already knew he’d love it before the first note was played (and of course, he was right).Carson – unpredictable as […]
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 […]
