It’s Finally Friday!
Well y’all, it’s finally Friday—and I mean finally. Even though we didn’t make it home until early Monday morning, this week has felt about fourteen days long. Maybe it’s just the post-trip exhaustion catching up with me, or maybe it’s that weird in-between weather Florida’s got going on right now. Either way, I’m ready for the weekend! The boys […]
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 […]
Buckle Up, Besties… It’s Gonna Be a Week
Whew. Y’all, we’ve got ourselves a busy week ahead. Pack the bags, load the snacks, and say a prayer for my sanity—we’re heading back to Kentucky. This weekend is Jimmy’s memorial service. Part of me wants to go with all my heart, because honoring my big brother is the least I can do. But the other part […]
ROADTRIP!
Ohhhh, the dreaded drive. I was really not planning on doing this so soon, but here we are—packing up snacks, pillows, and enough caffeine to keep a truck stop in business—because we’re about to make the 14+ hour trek back to good ole Bardstown. And let me stop you right there: no, this is not a vacation. […]
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 […]
Enbrel, Escape Plans, and a Semi-Permanent Vacation
Well, folks, hold onto your pill organizers and heated blankets—Mama’s finally getting some medicine for her SnRA! Next Thursday, I’ll be saying hello to my very first prescription of Enbrel, and let me tell you, I am manifesting miracles, mobility, and maybe even the ability to open a jar without cussing someone out. If you’re wondering what SnRA is, […]
On the Road Again… Shoulda Been a Trucker, Y’all
Cue Willie Nelson because your girl was back behind the wheel, probably born to live life with bug guts on the windshield and snacks in the center console. Listen—I’ve had a revelation, and it’s big. Like, “life path missed by a mile marker” big. I think I was meant to be an over-the-road trucker. I mean, seriously. These past […]
X-RAY DAY, BABY!
Why am I so excited?! One word: RESULTS. Listen, when your body has been throwing you curveballs like it’s trying out for Major League Baseball, you start craving answers like a cat craves chaos. I need RELIEF, I need CLARITY, and I need someone in a white coat to say, “Aha! Here’s what’s going on!” Now, full […]
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 […]
