Good Friday? More Like “Oops, It’s Easter Weekend” Friday
Y’all. I just looked at the calendar and had a full-on come to Jesus moment—because it’s Good Friday and guess what’s just two days away? Easter Sunday. You know, the one with the resurrection, the pastel dresses, and the strategically hidden plastic eggs filled with sugar and chaos? Yeah. That one. And what have I done to prepare? Absolutely. Nothing. No […]
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, […]
Tiny Dots, Big Feelings, and One Competitive Mom
So here’s a peek into the latest chaos at our house: Carson, acrylic paint, a swan, and an art style that requires the patience of a saint and the hand of a surgeon. Carson’s been doing online school since we lost Nannie. After her passing and our move to Florida, we knew a traditional school […]
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 […]
!MOM-ZOMBIE ALERT! + BIG NEWS!
Reporting live from the couch in Bardstown, still rocking yesterday’s travel outfit and a solid 24+ hours of sleep deprivation. Glamorous, I know. We survived another road trip, y’all! Cue the dramatic fainting. And can we just give a round of applause to my husband who—drumroll, please—drove the first couple hours. I was shooketh…and ever so grateful. It was […]
Operation: Light Lunch in Wesley Chapel (Spoiler: We Failed Gloriously)
Here’s the situation: I needed lunch. Something light. Something fresh. Something that wouldn’t make me regret all my life choices by 3 p.m. And since I still don’t know my way around Wesley Chapel without using GPS like it’s an oxygen mask, I turned to my loyal (and slightly nosy) sidekick: Google. I told Google […]
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 […]
Florida Regret? Cancelled. Thanks to a Skillet Full of Glory.
You know what they don’t tell you when you pack up your life and move to Florida? That finding good Mexican food might just become your full-time job. I’m not even kidding. I was this close to mourning my Kentucky roots, not because of the weather or the move itself—but because there was no El Jimador in sight. Back […]
Florida, Buc-ee’s, and the Hat-Wearing Vampire: A Road Trip Saga
Well, well, well… as promised, here I am, reporting live at checks clock 7:27 a.m. from the cozy (and suspiciously quiet) couch in Wesley Chapel, Florida. Yes, I’m actually here. Yes, on purpose. Sort of. Let’s just say, in the great democracy of our family, I was the one dissenting vote on this road trip… and I still ended […]
