Simply Sina: Operation Monkey Madness
I’m on a mission, y’all. Not just any mission. A monkey mission. Yes, you read that right. I want a monkey so bad I can practically hear one chattering in my ear right now. And guess what? Florida—the land of alligators, hurricanes, and Publix subs—actually lets you have one as a pet. Don’t threaten me with […]
First News on the Chopping Block: I Opened a TikTok Shop
Big announcement, friends—I have officially opened a TikTok Shop! That’s right, Simply Sina has gone retail, and I’m filling it with all my personally designed t-shirts. You’ll find goodies from: Oh, and because I love you (and because I’m just that extra), I’ve also added some holiday shirts that I designed myself. Cute, festive, and ready for […]
Here I Go Again…
Lord have mercy, y’all. If doctor’s visits were a punch card, I’d have earned myself a free sub sandwich by now. I just cannot catch a break! So here’s the latest episode of “What’s Wrong With Sina Today?” Since my colonoscopy and EGD came back looking squeaky clean, my next stop was the gynecologist. Now, […]
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 […]
