Dylan was due for a bedroom makeover. She is my only daughter and as much as I hate to admit it she’s growing up and evolving into a teenager. Her old loft style bed had served her well for many years and many sleepovers, but it was time to give her the mature space that she deserves. 🤗 @dylanluciaschaffer and I in worked side-by-side, picking out each piece to make sure that it really reflected her style. We’re so grateful that @castleryus wanted to be a part of this bedroom flip and gift us some gorgeous, staple pieces. Our favorite piece definitely has to be the Lexi Tufted Bed. It the perfect combination of cozy and chic and makes such a statement. #athomewithcastlery
Not only did her bedframe get upgraded, but of course we had to upgrade her mattress too. Our friends at @casper generously provided us their new Element pro Mattress, and let me tell you this mattress is awesome, everyone in my house wants one now. 🫠😅 
Read more about this bedroom flip on my blog! Link in bio! ✨Also breaking the room down on my IG stories today 🎉🫶🏼🛌 #citygirlathome

🎉🎂And just like that my sweet ROMAN is 11 years old. To know Roman is to love his spirit. He is that boy who certainly walks to beat of his own drum. 🥁He also is an entrepreneur in the making. He started selling lolly pops and he told me he has employees. He’s business savvy because he pays his employees in product and keeps all the cash 😆🤣 
To my laid back, mountain little man who puts us all in our place, the world is certainly better and brighter with you in it! It’s hard for me not to mention that our sweet boy was a twin, but we remind him that when we didn’t know if Roman would make it through the second half of our pregnancy, that baby Gabriel stayed put and was his angel. 😇 Happy Bday to our Roman Walker Jude… we love you and everything you stand for.  #birthdayboy #happybirthday #11yearsold #happybirthdayson

🗽In case you missed it, I am thick into the early highschool years with my older two who call me “Bruh!” 🤬😤 And you better believe if they do it again the ivory soap is coming out! 🫧 If you are experiencing name changes from your child, please note (according to my quote post a few days ago) this is a world-wide situation that’s been going on for decades. The comments on the post are hilarious and absolutely made me feel not alone. 
I hope this made you laugh and learn a little about me! I never talk about age… been this way since I started college. Who cares because I feel good. And Yes, I am all legs and sure it’s a perk but if someone finds me a torso send it my way. 👯‍♀️ Seriously! 😆 I am Sagittarius born on December 7th (my favorite sign) and my Bobby and my son Jackson are also in the SAGG family. 
This April I will be married to my hot Navy dentist for 20 years. 👩‍❤️‍👨 Wow, we managed to create four amazing humans but boy we are in the thick of it with them going in four directions. We have learned that everyday there is some sort of conflict that we all have to truck through. I am a NY born and bred Italian girl with a heavy accent who constantly has to tell my family that I am not screaming, it’s the way i talk. Even residing in sunny San Diego can’t simmer down my gritty self. Would love to hear about you! Your turn! #citygirlgonebruh #citygirlgonemom #motherhood #newyorker

In an effort to support everything local here in Sunny San Diego, ☀️🏄🏻‍♀️ I found a gem of a steakhouse @polocarlsbad located west of the five in Carlsbad! 🍽️👨‍🍳Chef Judd is absolutely outstanding with his spin on signature dishes like the Blue Fin Toro, A MUST. And the escargot… WOW! 🥲 It was my first time trying the dish and wow, my mind is blown. 
Insider Tip off the menu: have the chef make the kids a pizza! His crust is THE BOMB! 🍕The @polocarlsbad menu focuses on the highest quality and cuts of beef featuring foregin and domestic wagyu, local seafood options, raw bar items and a variety of shareable steakhouse sides. Too good … you must go. 💃🏼
For a first hand glimpse check out my local stories in my my local highlights! ✨ have you ever had escargot? Comment below!

Does anyone know if this is a California thing? If Jackson or Roman call me BRUH one more time I may put soap in their mouth 🤣 What is your rising teen calling you, I would love to hear your “new” name and your location! #raisingteens #citygirlgonemom #momquotes #quoteoftheday

🗽Anyone else’s in the boat of intense sports and having to separate? Would love to hear how you handle not being there for each game. I missed my boys lacrosse tournaments in Palm Springs … so hard on me, but Brody had his first dance competition so mom was on the dance circuit. We are reuniting tonight, but man do I miss them. I wish i could be there for each of them during their games and dances. So hard when you a lot of children going in different directions. I swear there is a constant conflict where we all have to miss something. I mean there truly ain’t no good like motherhood! Ain’t that the truth! #likeamother #dancemom #laxmom #sportsmom #momlife #mommyhood #mamahood

🫶🏼Ten years ago today, we took a leap of faith, sold our home and dental practice, and moved from North Carolina to Southern California. I remember like it was yesterday when mama Dona (my friends mom who treated me like her own) dropped us off at the airport and took this picture. Though we were going to miss our dear friends and family, this was something my husband and I were ready for. I was wanting to go closer to NY, but my Bobby was California dreaming’! 🗽☀️ I mean how could I fight him on America’s Finest City, San Diego. 🥳🏄🏻‍♀️🌊
What truly pulled the trigger for us was the passing of our dear friend Christian. Christian was in the military with Bobby and tragically passed away in a car wreck. We spoke to him the night before the accident and we talked about us both moving back to California where we were once stationed and both raising our kids together. After Bobby read the eulogy and flew back home from Michigan he said start packing, we are going to live our lives and live out our dreams. 
We were scared of the unknown. But it worked out, Bobby bought a dental practice in Del Mar from another gentlemen who too served his country and mom started a blog called, City Girl Gone Mom. I started writing three articles a week documenting all of our days, from our wins to our failures and jumped on instagram. I never knew I would build a brand on many social media platforms, but here we are. From TikTok, to YouTube, to Facebook, we now have a combined reach of 7 million, and it still blows my mind.🗽
Moral of the story, take a chance, live your life. Ten years ago, we did it without knowing what the future would hold. I never knew getting into social media a decade ago would be a really smart choice. Sure, it took us 5 yrs to save to buy our first home here, but now we own 2  Heck, I even had a 4th baby, SURPRISE.👶 And that baby we all know is mind blowing talented. Take a chance, I can’t scream that loud enough. One thing I truly remember before we left is my stepfather saying to me, Danielle, what do you really have to lose? You can always come back! 🙏🏼🗽🤗 Are you ready to take some risks? #letsgo #adventureofalifetime #citygirlgonemom
