!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 […]
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 […]
Southern-ish Discomfort: Sunshine Edition

My joints whispered, “Girl, you better sit down.” […]

Oh, sweet sunshine and questionable decisions—we’re finally in Florida! Two whole weeks of fun, relaxation, and a little bit of chaos. Our grand arrival followed a 16-hour odyssey, with yours truly driving a solid 14 hours. I’m now considering a career as a long-haul trucker… or maybe a motivational speaker for exhausted parents. Speaking of […]
Will Drive for Dunkin’: A Love Story
Do you ever find yourself doing something completely ridiculous, fully aware that people might question your sanity? Well, let me introduce you to my personal brand of crazy: the 45-minute round trip for Dunkin’ coffee. Yes, you read that right. Nearly an hour of my precious time for one glorious, caramel-drizzled cup of joy. And no, I […]
Spring Break: The Great Escape (Or So We Hope)
Alright, folks, enough of the sad posts—let’s shake things up a bit! It’s time for some excitement, some adventure, some… SPRING BREAK! What does that mean for us? Two glorious weeks in our new home, in our new community, basking in the Floridian lifestyle. (Or at least attempting to.) But first, the journey. Ah yes, […]
