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. […]
Ho Ho Ho!! Holiday Kick-Off, Florida-Style
Ho Ho Ho!! We had ourselves a holiday-filled weekend, y’all! It all started Saturday down in Clearwater with a photoshoot featuring the big man himself — SANTA! (Or Michael, if you know you know). It was such a blast watching kids of all ages light up when they saw Santa strolling down the street. And […]

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 […]
Harmony’s Grand Exit: Goose Eggs, Scooters, and a Whole Lotta Sass
Well, y’all, it’s official—Harmony has packed up her tiny suitcase, waved her little princess hand, and headed back home. The house is quieter now… too quiet. You know that kind of quiet where you’re not sure if you should enjoy it or start cleaning something just to fill the silence? Yeah, that kind. We had […]
“She’s Florida-Bound, Bless Her Heart!”
Well hey y’all, look who finally crawled out from under her wax melts and scooter rides! That’s right—me. I know, I know… I totally flaked and ghosted y’all like a bad Tinder date, but hear me out! Life’s been lifing in the best way. I’ve been melting wax, snapping photos, riding bikes and scooters, and making memories with […]
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 Home, Finally (and Barely Functioning)
Well, we made it back home this morning — hallelujah and pass the coffee! The trip was actually great. We had the best time visiting everyone, running all over creation, and trying to pretend we weren’t exhausted. Jimmy’s memorial was beautiful, and I swear he was right there with us the whole time. I even got his […]
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 […]
