things to try
Nannie is probably turning over in her grave…
in a good way, though. I am making homemade pumpkin pies! Go ahead and reread that if you need to. But yes, you read it correctly. I, Sina, am in this kitchen today attempting something that feels very “grown woman holiday homemaker”… and also very “what on earth am I doing.” I am making homemade […]
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 Spoiled Rotten to Semi-Chef: My Ninja Foodi Era
From Nannie’s home-cooked comfort to quick-fix family meals, Simply Sina shares her journey from being spoiled rotten to mastering the Ninja Foodi—complete with picky eaters, pizza spaghetti, and Chick-fil-A-style hacks.

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 […]
Well Bless It, Etsy’s Gone & I’m Moving On!
Y’all… I have been wrestlin’ with Etsy for over a week now, and let me tell you, it’s been a whole saga. Apparently, they decided there was some kind of “security issue” — whatever that means — and poof, they closed my shop. Just like that. One minute I’m uploading new wax melt listings and […]
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 […]
Y’all, I Cannot Stay Well!
My gosh, guys. I cannot stay well to save my life! I don’t know what in Hades is going on with me, but first it was that week of pure exhaustion and a headache that made me want to just crawl into the couch cushions and never come out. Then, just when I thought I […]
Long Days, Heavy Bags, and a Little Bit of Relief
I know…it’s been a couple of days. And whew, let me tell you—it’s been a rough couple of days at that. Let’s rewind back to Friday. At 6:30 a.m., bright-eyed and not-so-bushy-tailed, I walked into Moffitt Cancer Center for my 210-minute Dextran iron infusion. That’s three and a half hours, folks, but spoiler alert—it turned into seven […]
First News on the Chopping Block: I Opened a TikTok Shop
Big announcement, friends—I have officially opened a TikTok Shop! That’s right, Simply Sina has gone retail, and I’m filling it with all my personally designed t-shirts. You’ll find goodies from: Oh, and because I love you (and because I’m just that extra), I’ve also added some holiday shirts that I designed myself. Cute, festive, and ready for […]
