Some seasons are about letting go. Others are about gaining an entire family. 🤍

After 21 days on the road helping my youngest chase his dreams, I walked through my front door to a house full of girls. Not just any girls. My daughter Dylan’s roommates at the University of Utah.

And what a treat it was to walk into my home and be greeted by so many girls…. when it’s usually a house full of boys. The energy, the laughter, the chatter… it completely changed the feel of the place in the best possible way.

I spent the week getting to know them, laughing with them, and watching the beginning of friendships that I know will last a lifetime. They are kind, brilliant, funny, driven, and exactly the kind of young women every mom hopes her daughter is surrounded by.

Leaving your child at college will always tug at your heart, but knowing she has this incredible group beside her makes it so much easier.

A few years ago I made the decision to buy a place in Utah, and today I couldn’t be happier. Mama will be making plenty of trips. ❤️

To Dylan, my “D”, my one and only principessa, I am so proud of the woman you’re becoming. And to your roommates, thank you for already making this next chapter feel so special.

Here’s to unforgettable memories, late night talks, big dreams, and the adventure of a lifetime.

Tag someone who’s about to send their baby off to college. 🥹

Yo Adrieeennnnne, I rolled my ankle😂! 

Two things my husband will never pass up:

1. A challenge.
2. An opportunity to pretend he’s Rocky Balboa. 🥊😂

We’re in Amalfi enjoying one of the most beautiful places in the world, and this man sees approximately one million church stairs and decides today’s the day he’s going to conquer Italy.

Meanwhile, I’m halfway up questioning every life decision that brought me here.

He reaches the top feeling like he just won the heavyweight title…

…and then rolls his ankle on the way down. 🤦🏻‍♀️🇮🇹

Ladies, if your husband has ever turned a peaceful vacation into an Olympic event, I need to know I’m not alone.

Comment with the most ridiculous thing your husband has done on vacation. 😂👇

Tag your favorite plastic surgeon below. 👇 Let’s help each other out! Mine is @dririssavetsky. ❤️

I’ve never believed there’s a “perfect” age to do something that makes you feel more confident.

I’m heading to New York next week for a little refresh, and I’d love to hear your thoughts.

✨ What’s your opinion on mini facelifts and neck lifts?
✨ Have you had one?
✨ If so, who do you trust?

Let’s build the ultimate recommendation list in the comments. ⬇️

No one tells you how quiet motherhood can become.

It’s been over a month since I’ve heard my son’s voice. He’s in boot camp at the Air Force Academy, facing challenges I can’t even begin to imagine. As his mom, every part of me wants to tell him he’ll be okay. Instead, all I can do is pray, hope, and wait.

People say, “He’s becoming stronger.”

Maybe.

But I also know strength isn’t pretending something isn’t hard. Sometimes strength is simply getting up and doing the next right thing when everything inside you wants to quit.

I’ve made four humans, and I can confidently say this… watching one of them walk through something this difficult is harder than labor ever was.

If you’re missing someone today, whether they’re serving, chasing a dream, finding their way, or simply far from home, know you’re not alone.

Love doesn’t get smaller with distance.

Sometimes it just gets louder in the silence.

❤️🇺🇸

Real life lately = me trying to stay organized… and Brody rewriting everything 😅

But honestly? It’s been the best reminder that it doesn’t have to be perfect to work.

We’ve been using the FriXion Vibe erasable pens from @pilotpenusa, and I love that everything is completely erasable - so we can write, change it, and keep going without the pressure.

It’s become our little reset moment… messy ideas, color-coded moods, and starting over as many times as we need.
Progress > perfection, always.
All mood. No mistakes.

What vibe are you in today? ✨

Two weeks in Vegas should honestly be illegal. 😂

Fourteen days. Two dance nationals. Approximately 47 gallons of iced coffee, 28 outfit changes a day, enough walking to qualify for an Olympic event, and I’m pretty sure my Apple Watch filed a complaint.

There were moments I laughed. There were moments I cried. There were moments I questioned every life choice that led me to living out of a suitcase while surviving on protein bars and caffeine.

But then I’d watch Brody do what he loves, and suddenly every crazy moment made perfect sense.

Being a dance mom isn’t for the weak. It’s carrying costumes, being the Uber driver, the therapist, the snack lady, the hype woman, and somehow still remembering what day it is. (Actually… I still don’t know what day it is.)

Would I do it all over again?

In a heartbeat.

Maybe just with a personal chef, an assistant, a masseuse, and about three extra hours of sleep.

What a wild, beautiful, exhausting adventure. So grateful I got to watch my little guy live his dream, and somehow… Mom survived too. ❤️

Tell me I’m not the only one who’s needed a vacation after the vacation. 😂

I’ve spent my ENTIRE life believing I was a Sagittarius.

Now the internet wants to tell me I’m… Ophiuchus? 🤨

Respectfully… I did not approve this update.

You can’t just wake up one day and rebrand my personality. I’m keeping my Sagittarius membership card. 😂

Tell me I’m not the only one who just found this out.

Comment your zodiac sign and tell me if you’re accepting the “new” one or refusing the update. ♐️🤣
