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. […]
Gators, Glitter, and Getting Lit (Florida Style)
First things first—remember me saying before there’s a gator in the lake directly behind our house? Well, y’all… there IS a gator in the lake directly behind our house! I’m talking real deal, tail-slappin’, sun-loungin’, Florida gator. I spotted him yesterday when I went out to snap a picture of this massive softshell turtle just […]
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 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 […]
Workin’ from Dunkin’
This morning started the way all good mornings should: with a scooter ride and pumpkin spice in my veins. Quincy, Michael, and I hopped on our new electric scooters (we fancy now) and zipped him off to school like we were starring in our own little scooter parade. From there, Michael and I just kept […]
Long Days, Heavy Bags, and a Little Bit of Relief
I know…it’s been a couple of days. And whew, let me tell you—it’s been a rough couple of days at that. Let’s rewind back to Friday. At 6:30 a.m., bright-eyed and not-so-bushy-tailed, I walked into Moffitt Cancer Center for my 210-minute Dextran iron infusion. That’s three and a half hours, folks, but spoiler alert—it turned into seven […]
