I finally understand why the percentage of nano-hydroxyapatite actually matters. 🤍

The best part? I don’t feel like I have to choose between whitening my teeth and taking care of them anymore. @lumineuxhealth NEW 10% Nano Hydroxyapatite Whitening Toothpaste has officially earned a spot in my daily routine.

Run to Walmart and look for this. 🤍

Road trips hit differently when you’re with your favorite team, fellow creatives, and a Hyundai full of snacks, stories, and questionable navigation skills. 😂🚙

I’ve landed in coastal Maine for Camp Hyundai, where we’ll explore charming harbor towns, drive the winding roads of Acadia National Park, eat our weight in lobster rolls, and end the day glamping under the stars.

Here’s the lesson: stop waiting for the perfect time to take the trip. Make the time, take the scenic route, connect with people who inspire you, and collect memories you’ll still be laughing about years from now.

What’s one road trip you’ve always wanted to take? Tell me where we’re going next! 👇@hyundaiusa

⬇️On my way to defend my third born, knowing full well he probably did exactly what they said. 😂

Because being his mom doesn’t mean pretending he’s always right. It means standing beside him while he learns how to make it right.

Our kids need accountability, but they also need to know that one bad choice doesn’t make them a bad kid. I’ll correct him with my normal loud Italian NY self, make sure he owns his part, and still remind the world to watch how they speak about my baby.

That’s parenting. Hold them accountable, love them through it, and never let them face the hard stuff alone.

Who else is raising a child they would defend and discipline in the same breath? 😂🙋🏻‍♀️

I moved my only girl into her college dorm this weekend and I’m still not okay. 😭🥹 In a house full of men, she’s always been my girl, and I’m going to miss her more than I can put into words.

But creating this space for her made the transition a little sweeter. We had SO much fun bringing Dylan and her roommate’s dorm to life with Pottery Barn Dorm. From the Twin XL bedding to the storage and décor, everything came together even better than we imagined.

We also had the help of our amazing local designer, Zach, and I’m obsessed with how it turned out. ✨

And college moms …. the Pottery Barn Dorm Wish List makes planning SO seamless. Highly recommend starting one before move-in!

What do you think of the final reveal?! Tell me in the comments. 🤍

It takes A LOT to piss me off. Maybe once a year someone actually gets me there. Congratulations, today we have a winner.

Imagine approaching my family, waving at us, acting like you’re a fan of my child, while filming us so you can later create an entirely false narrative about people you don’t know for views, engagement and followers.

Here are the facts she didn’t bother to know: there was a dangerous rip current and lifeguards specifically advised us NOT to allow my son in the ocean. We listened. We have it documented. End of story.

But she decided her version was more interesting.

She posted it. Strangers believed it. My CHILD started getting cyberbullied because of it. And after seeing what her video was causing, instead of taking it down, she PINNED it to the top of her page.

Let that sink in.

This isn’t about someone having an opinion about me. Have one. I’ve been doing this long enough to handle it. This is about creating a false story involving a child, watching that child get attacked because of it, and continuing to amplify it.

A phone in your hand doesn’t make your assumptions facts. A viral video doesn’t make your narrative true. And followers gained at someone else’s expense aren’t something I’d be proud of.

Come for me and I can take it. Come for my child based on a story you manufactured, and Mama Bear is going to show up every single time.

Views are temporary. Character follows you home.

Parents, what would YOU do if this were your child?

I thought all nano-hydroxyapatite toothpastes were basically the same…until I actually looked closer. 👀

Turns out the percentage matters, and most brands don’t even tell you what’s inside. I found @lumineuxhealth NEW 10% Nano Hydroxyapatite Whitening Toothpaste at Walmart and was honestly surprised by what I learned.

Run to Walmart and look for this. Now I can’t wait to see how it fits into my routine. 🤍

“I’ll call you in five minutes.”

ME TO DYLAN AFTER DORM DROP-OFF LIKE SHE’S DEPLOYING. 😂😭

She’s starting college.
I’m starting my new career as an unpaid long-distance surveillance system.

Location on. FaceTime available. Mother emotionally unstable. 😂 Watching your daughter walk into her dorm is the strangest mix of “GO FLY, BABY!” and “actually, get back in my car immediately.”

So proud of you, Dylan. Now answer your phone because it’s been six minutes. 😂❤️

Who else survived college drop-off?!
Huge shout out to @potterybarndorm for making her space simply gorgeous and cozy!

POV: College drop-off.

Everyone warned us how hard it would be for her to say goodbye to her parents.

Nobody warned her how hard it would be to say goodbye to her wallet. 😂💳 aka: DAD

Because apparently “independence” still comes with Dad’s credit card attached.

Eighteen years of raising her to spread her wings, chase her dreams and become an independent woman… and Dad just realized he’s apparently funding the flight. 😂

But jokes aside, watching your daughter hug her dad goodbye and walk into this next chapter? That one gets you.

We spend their whole childhood teaching them how to leave the nest, then suddenly they actually do it. ❤️

College parents, tell me: who cried harder at drop-off, Mom, Dad… or the bank account? 😂👇
