Second Week of School: Back at It, Y’all
Well, besties, here we are—week TWO of school. We survived the first week (barely) and then I decided to spend the weekend in full-on lazy mode. I’m talking sat-on-my-booty, didn’t-close-a-single-fitness-ring kind of lazy. Except Saturday…because hula hooping is my new old flame, and she lured me back in with the promise of closing my move […]
Day Four: Toes, Blisters, and a Whole Lotta Steps
Day four of the 2025–2026 school year, and let me tell y’all something right now… if I keep this up, I’m going to be in the best shape of my life. Seriously. But my toes? Oh, bless ‘em. My pinky toes have always been drama queens—no matter what shoes I wear, they’re bound to throw […]
First Day of School… Florida Edition!
Today was a big day, y’all—the boys started school for the very first time here in sunny Florida! And get this… for the first time in their entire school careers, they don’t have to wear uniforms. Can I get a hallelujah? No more khaki and polo combos—it’s all about self-expression now. Carson officially started high […]
Sunburns, Scream-Singing, and Convertible Chaos — A Miami Moment to Remember
Y’all. Let me tell you something — Carrley was in town for the week, and we were thriving. The vibes? Immaculate. The snacks? Stocked. The plans? Chaotic, unhinged, and exactly what we needed. She rolled in like a little hurricane of fun, instantly derailing any sense of routine I had (which, let’s be honest, wasn’t much […]
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. Honestly, criminal. Carrley, sweetie, I love you—but you have to stop getting older. Every time you have a birthday, guess what? I age too. And I’m simply not emotionally prepared […]
Sass, Sweat & Surprise Armadillos
Welp, color me proud because Mama is out here doing the damn thang! Up at 5 A.M.—yes, FIVE, as in the time the coffee hasn’t even kicked in yet—and what’s the first thing I did? Oh, not much… just casually crushed a 4.76-mile BIKE RIDE before the sun even clocked in. BOO-YAH, baby! I laced up my tennis shoes for […]
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. I’ve officially been up all night like I’m at a rave I didn’t RSVP for—except instead of glow sticks and beats, it’s just me, my heating gloves, and a thumb joint screaming louder than a toddler who didn’t get their Happy Meal. We are currently deep […]
Simply Sina: Domestic Delusion Diaries (aka Me vs. Housework)
Okay, y’all. Let me just lay it out there before someone else does: Not working is working me over. I’m out here living that “stay-at-home-girl” life, and let me tell you—it’s not giving soft housewife fantasy; it’s giving How did I get marinara sauce on the ceiling again? All I want to do is curl up in my […]
Smalls Sliders: Our TikTok-Fueled Foodie Field Trip
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. Because obviously, nothing says “great summer plan” like cheeseburgers and milkshakes in surface-of-the-sun weather. So […]
