Happy 21st, Carrley… But Also, Can You Chill?

Okay, wait a minute.How dare my daughter turn 21 today… while I’m down here in Florida, being all sunshine and sandals, and she’s up there celebrating without me?! Rude. Disrespectful.

Taco Tuesday, But Make It Lasagna… Kind Of

Listen, y’all. I found a recipe online that had the nerve—the audacity—to call itself Taco Lasagna. Cute, right? Well, your girl clicked on it thinking she was about to uncover the eighth wonder of the culinary world.

Bless My Blogger Heart, I Got Nothin’

Well, butter my biscuits and call me uninspired—today I opened up this here blog draft and realized I had not a single clue what I wanted to write about. Not a one. Zip. Zilch. Nada. My brain was emptier than a Dollar General shelf during hurricane season. I sat here staring at the screen like […]

Sunshine, Sass, and Swollen Thumbs

Oh, honey… the drama that is my immune system.

We are currently deep […]

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.

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, […]
