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 […]
Pizza, Pizza (Regret, Regret) – My Little Caesars Pretzel Crust Adventure
Let’s talk fast food, friends. You ever see a commercial so many times it basically hypnotizes you? That was me with the Little Caesars Pretzel Crust Pizza with Cheese Sauce. Every time it popped up on my screen, I was like, “Ohhh I NEED that salty, cheesy nonsense in my life.” I imagined myself biting into pretzel-y perfection, […]
Confessions of a Coffee Addict Turned Cold Brew Queen
Let me just start by asking the real question here: Are you a coffee addict? Because listen—I absolutely am. Like, no-shame, full-throttle, drive-thru junkie status. Dunkin’? Starbucks? Baby, I’d hit those back-to-back if my bank account and waistband didn’t start crying simultaneously. Picture it: me, pulling into the drive-thru like it’s my birthright, ordering my oversized iced caramel […]
SnRA, Enbrel, and Me: Still Hurting, Still Hoping (But Also Side-Eyeing My Joints)
Hey y’all — Let’s talk about something that’s been sitting on my heart (and, unfortunately, in my finger joints): my SnRA journey and this new chapter with Enbrel. So, I started Enbrel two weeks ago. Tomorrow is dose number three — which feels like a small milestone, especially for someone who’s never been one to casually […]
The Final Kentucky Farewell — Hello, New Routine!
Alright y’all — it’s official. We’ve made our last trip back to Florida. Yep, you read that right. No more back-and-forths, no more packing up half the house for a weeklong stay. We. Are. HOME. Cue the confetti cannons, pop the sparkling juice, and imagine me doing a very awkward but enthusiastic victory dance in the kitchen. […]
Bubba Did THE DANG THANG!
Listen—stop what you’re doing. Put your coffee down. We need to talk about Carson, because this young king just graduated from 8th grade with STRAIGHT A’s and snatched a spot on the Principal’s List like it was nothing. Highest honors, baby! Not only did he understand the assignment—he aced it, closed the tab, and logged out. Let’s give this boy his flowers, okay? Now, […]
Live-Action Lilo & Stitch: Somebody Call Cobra Bubbles Because I Need Emotional Support
Let me start this off by saying I wanted to like it. I tried to like it. I sat down with my 3D glasses and Coke Zero in hand ready to be wrapped in a warm tropical hug of nostalgia and intergalactic chaos. But instead? I got a slow crawl through the sand, dragging my […]
Lord Help Us, He’s 14: A Birthday Ode to Carson
Well, y’all, it happened. Carson is officially 14 years old tomorrow, which means he’s exactly 73% sass, 22% hair product, and 5% mystery smells. I blinked, and the tiny little boy who used to run around in superhero underwear is now taller than me, has opinions about fashion, and eats like he’s prepping for a football scholarship. […]
Two Weeks Left in Kentucky: Send Help (and Snacks)
Okay, y’all. Deep breath. We have TWO WEEKS left in Kentucky before we trade bourbon and bluegrass for sunshine and sand. Two. Weeks. That’s 14 days, 336 hours, or approximately 12 Walmart trips (if I pace myself). And I have no clue what I’m supposed to be doing. Do I finish packing? Cry into a basket of […]
Three Months Without Nannie
…and I’m still not okay, but I pretend real good. It’s been three whole months since my Nannie left this earth, and I still catch myself reaching for the phone to call her. Sometimes it’s about nothing—just to hear her voice and let her talk circles around me about what she just heard (spoiler alert: […]
