And just like that… she’s off to the University of Utah. ❤️😭

We shared a big cry in bed this morning, the kind where neither of you really needs to say anything because you both know everything is about to change.

I knew this day was coming. I raised her for this. I prayed she’d grow into a strong, independent girl ready to chase a life of her own. But apparently no one told my heart that raising them to leave you is the actual assignment.

Watching my only girl dance her way into this next chapter feels exactly right for her… and way too fast for me.

Eighteen years of “Mom, where are you?” and suddenly I’m the one wondering, “Dylan, where are you?” 😭

Thank GOD we as a fam bought a place in Park City because I fully intend on being the most casually frequent Utah visitor of all time. 😂 “Oh weird… Mom’s here AGAIN.”

Go dance. Go grow. Go make mistakes. Go find yourself. Go build the most beautiful life, baby girl. I’ll be cheering louder than anyone, even while crying the entire flight home.

Utah, take care of my girl. ❤️

College mamas… HOW did you walk away?! Because today, this mama is struggling. 😭

Apparently I didn’t spend two weeks hiding my post op face under scarves… I was NONNA MAXXING. 🇮🇹😂

Just read @thezoereport and discovered that oversized sunnies, head scarves and dressing like a fabulous Italian grandmother are officially trending.

Meanwhile, I thought I was on hotel arrest recovering. Turns out I was serving la dolce vita, post op edition. 😂

And as an Italian girl, I’d like the record to show… the Nonna was in me LONG before the algorithm caught up. 🇮🇹

The scarves covered the scars.
The sunnies covered the swelling.
The attitude covered everything else. 😂

Who knew recovery could be so fashion forward?

Comment NONNA and I’ll send you the link to my favorite scarves. 🧣🇮🇹

🚨 HOTEL ARREST HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN LIFTED. 🚨

Stitches OUT. Scarf & Glasses ON. Swelling still minding my business. 😂 And apparently the only reasonable way to celebrate is dancing through the streets of New York like Eminem personally wrote the soundtrack to my post op parole.

After almost two weeks of my gorgeous sister-in-law spoiling me, compression, ice packs, protein served in bed, and being told to relax and heal… your girl has been released back into society. 😂

NYC, you healed me. You tempted my wallet. You tolerated my scarves. But it’s time to head HOME TO MI FAMILIA. ❤️ 

HUGE Shout out to my incredible surgeoun @drirasavetsky (content coming soon) and his charming staff @np_alexa my nurse @mjkmitchell my assistant @chelseaaportwine and my lymphatic goddesses @liquidsculpt_ @beautyby_gia @detoxedbymari @beautiquedbyanna 

Bobby… the vacation is over. I’m coming home. 😂

Who else becomes absolutely UNHINGED the second the doctor says, “You’re good to go”? 🙋🏻‍♀️

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to announce that MY CHILDREN HAVE THE AUDACITY TO KEEP GROWING UP. 😭😂

Brody is officially heading into 5th grade and Roman is STARTING HIGH SCHOOL. HIGH SCHOOL?! Excuse me while I look for the return policy on time. 🥹

And YES, before the spelling police clock in for their shift… I realize the sign has a spelling mistake. 😂 I promise this is no reflection of their education, only a reflection of their mother trying to document childhood while simultaneously running a small country.

The signs may be questionable, but the kids are pretty spectacular. ❤️ shout out to UNCLE JOE @sijoe231 for holding down the fort! 

Mamas, tell me… what grade are your babies going into this year? And more importantly, WHO GAVE THEM PERMISSION TO GROW UP THIS FAST?! 😭👇 #parenthumor #momhumor

NEW YORK LATELY 🗽♥️ A little healing, a little wandering, a little shopping I cannot financially defend… and a whole lot of remembering who the hell I am. 😂

I came home for a little refresh, (with the incredible @drirasavetsky ) but plot twist: New York has been refreshing me my entire life.

She gave me grit, glamour, big dreams, a fast walk and absolutely no patience for slow walkers. 😂

You can take the girl out of New York, but good luck getting New York out of the girl. Thank you 

Swipe ➡️ Which slide screams NEW YORK to you? 🗽♥️

Day 9 post op and apparently “rest” does NOT mean make TikToks in Central Park. 😂🗽⚽️ Someone please explain this to my personality.

I get approximately one hour a day out of hotel arrest, and you better believe I’m treating it like recess. 😂 Then it’s right back to the room because @drirasavetsky and his incredible team ( shout out @np_alexa ) have made one thing VERY clear: Dani, REST. Stop talking. Stop TikToking. Keep the activity down and let your body do its thing so we can keep that swelling at bay.

And truly, I cannot shout this surgeon and his team out enough. They check on me EVERY single day. They answer every question. They notice everything. They have made me feel so incredibly cared for through this entire process. At this point, his staff is basically on speed dial, and once I’m fully recovered, I expect these girls to take me OUT. 😂💃🏻

I went into this wanting to get ahead of the things that were starting to bother me, not change my face. I wanted to look like ME, just refreshed, rested and like maybe I’ve slept sometime during the last 18 years of raising four kids. 😂 And Dr. Savetsky absolutely understood the assignment. 🙌🏼

He is meticulous. His reputation is outstanding for a reason. I adore him as a surgeon, I adore his beautiful family and everything they represent, and the level of care from his entire office has been next level.

I’ve been documenting this whole voyage every single day, the glamorous, the swollen, the Jackie O disguises, the hotel arrest and apparently the unauthorized Central Park TikToks. 😂 I’m going to put it ALL together for you, plus write a really thorough blog post you can save and refer back to.

So ask me EVERYTHING. 👇🏼 What do you want to know this far, maybe how i chose my surgeon, preparation, recovery, swelling, pain, or what I did to get ready? Drop your questions below because I’m building the ultimate Mom Refresh diary for you. ❤️

Broadcasting your life online is all fun and games until your own doctor tunes in and says, “DANIELLE, we said recovery. Not a New York City press tour.” 😂

BUSTED 6 days post op!

Apparently I’ve been doing a little too much, a little too soon, and my very loving Dr. Savetsky and his incredible nurse Alexa have officially put me on hotel arrest.

Today’s orders from Nurse Alexa: Stay home. Don’t talk. Don’t TikTok, Watch Telemundo. REST. 📺🤐

Excuse me, do they know who they’re dealing with?! I want my healing the same way I want everything else in life: AMAZON PRIME. Same day delivery. Preferably before 10 PM. 😂

So here I am. Silent. Horizontal. Wrapped like Jackie O. Watching Telemundo like it’s part of my discharge paperwork.

This photo pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter.

THE END. 🖕😂🖕

Best Surgeoun Ever @drirasavetsky 
My favorite strict nurse @np_alexa

Please tell me I’m not the only woman who hears “rest” and immediately starts negotiating the terms. 😂

Apparently the best threesome in NYC comes with lymphatic drainage. 😂💦

Six days post op with @drirasavetsky and I had TWO incredible women working on me at the same time at @liquidsculpt and when I tell you my body said THANK YOU… 🙌🏼 ➡️ @beautyby_gia @beautiquedbyanna 

Post op recovery is not just about lying around looking fabulous in oversized sunglasses. 😂 I’ve been really intentional about supporting my body, reducing swelling, getting things moving and giving myself every advantage to heal beautifully.

This lymphatic massage was an HOUR of absolute magic and officially one of my favorite parts of my NYC mommy glow up. ✨

Now I need to know… have you ever had a lymphatic massage?! And would you sign up for the two-on-one treatment? 😂👇🏼
