Apparently you can dress for the tour before you know what a par is. And we took that personally. ⛳️😂

The girls and I have decided we golf now. Please respect our privacy while we figure out how to golf.

Shoutout to @fore.all for sponsoring me with absolutely ZERO evidence that I can hit a ball. I love a brand that takes a chance on the underdog, especially when the underdog is searching for her ball in someone’s backyard. 💀

We look AMAZING in our Fore All outfits. Now we just need lessons, a basic understanding of the rules, and a tournament with very low expectations.

Country club clothes. Public safety swings.

Who’s joining our foursome? Bring patience. And extra balls. 😂 #ForeAllPartner

I’m raising him to be himself. He’s raising me to stop caring who’s watching. 😂❤️

I’ve spent years telling my kids, “Be yourself. Take up space. Don’t worry about what people think.” Then Brody pulls me into a dance and suddenly I’m worried about what to do with my arms. 🤣

Nothing like your own kid making you practice what you preach.

Parenting comes with plenty of reminders, rules, and “did you finish your homework?” Sometimes we need to make room for “turn it up, I love this song.”

I hope he always feels this free to be himself. And I hope I keep saying yes when he asks me to join him.

Who else has a kid who brings out a version of you you forgot was in there? 🫶 #momhumor #parenthumor

Sometimes I fill my calendar so I don’t have to sit with what’s breaking my heart.

I’ve always been a workaholic. When life hurts, I know how to keep moving. Another project. Another deadline. Another person who needs me. I give every hour a job because the quiet has a way of saying everything I’m trying not to hear.

From the outside, it looks like ambition. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it’s grief with a full schedule.

Today, I kept moving because slowing down meant remembering that I should be celebrating my brother’s birthday with him. Hearing his voice. Giving him a hard time about getting older. Sending the annual Venmo for the steak he loved to have! Having one more ordinary moment I would now give anything to get back.

And today also holds the weight of October 7, three years later, and the grief my Jewish friends continue to carry. My heart is with you. I stand with you today and every day, holding space for your grief and standing beside you with love, even when I can’t find the words.

I’m learning that I can finish everything on my list and still have pain waiting for me at the end of it. Healing asks something harder of me than working does: to sit down, let myself feel, and stop expecting myself to be okay just because I’ve stayed productive.

My brother’s life was taken by an accidental fentanyl overdose. Other dangerous opioids are circulating, some stronger than fentanyl, and fentanyl test strips cannot detect every dangerous substance. A negative result does not mean safe.

Please keep Narcan accessible and know how to use it. I made sure my daughter’s dorm floor has it. It can reverse an opioid overdose. Give it and call 911 immediately if you suspect one. More than one dose may be needed.

Today, I’m giving myself permission to miss him without finding something else to do.

I can’t give my brother another birthday. But sharing this might help give someone else another one. 🤍

There’s no place quite like New York City for a world premiere. 🗽✨

Back in the city that raised me, hopping on a ferry from Battery Park to Long Island City for the world premiere of the all-new Hyundai TUCSON. And that Manhattan skyline? It gets me every time. 🤍 #HyundaiPartner

I had the chance to be among the first to experience Hyundai’s boldest TUCSON yet, and seeing it revealed against the backdrop of my hometown made the moment even more memorable.

As someone who’s driven a Hyundai for the last seven years, getting an exclusive first look at what’s next was pretty special. The bold design caught my eye right away, but the mom in me was just as excited about the innovative technology, elevated interior, and next-generation hybrid system built for everyday family life.

These days, my adventures are mostly school drop-offs, sports practices, road trips, and making sure everyone (and everything) fits. So seeing a vehicle that blends style, versatility, and capability felt like a win.

New York taught me how to make an entrance. Motherhood taught me to bring everybody along.

Meet the Boldest. The all-new Hyundai TUCSON.

What are you checking out first: the design, the interior, or the technology? 👀👇

Yes, those before pictures are really me. I just wasn’t posting my jowls’ journey south. 😂

I’m just over nine weeks postop with @drirasavetsky in New York City, and I’m so happy with what I’m seeing. I’m still healing, and I’ll be sharing much more of this experience over the next several months.

This wasn’t an overnight decision. I spent a YEAR researching surgeons, going to consultations, asking questions, and taking my time. Four kids later, I wanted to do something for myself, and choosing who I trusted with my face was everything.

I landed with Dr. Savetsky because, to me, he’s a unicorn. His work is exceptional, but his care, patience, and attention to detail are what made me feel certain. I felt like he saw my face as a canvas and approached it like an artist.

I even chose procedures I hadn’t originally considered, including an upper and lower blepharoplasty, after we talked through what could help me achieve the rested look I wanted.

These are my before and afters so far. Still healing. Still evolving. Already feeling more like myself.

Would I do it again? Absolutely.
Would I choose him again? Without hesitation.

I have beautiful friends embracing every line, and I respect that completely. For me? I’m pretty thrilled to look in the mirror and feel like I turned the clock back 10 years. Same NYC attitude, fresher packaging. 😉

I’m sharing because we deserve honest conversations about our choices, including what happens behind the pretty after pictures.

If you contact his office, mention my name and ask about any available discount. Have questions about my experience? DM me or leave them below. Let’s talk. 🤍 #PlasticSurgeryJourney #FacialRejuvenation #Blepharoplasty #PostOpRecovery #DrIraSavetsky

This ain’t Texas, but Del Mar had my shapewear working as a sous vide bag. 🤠🔥 Felt like 150° and Bobby’s wife was officially slow cooking. 😂🫠

Thankfully, my cranberry mocktail spritz understood the assignment. Delicious, refreshing, and topped with floating rosemary. Even my drink had better accessories than me. 🌿✨

@delmarfest turned into the sweetest reunion! So many familiar faces, sweaty hugs, incredible bites, and “OMG YOU’RE HERE TOO?!” moments.

Love seeing Del Mar bring our community together like this. Came for the food, stayed for the friends, and took approximately 47 water breaks. My makeup left early. We stayed for the memories. 🤍

Congrats to our @theresa_vpr and her Bebemos🧡 #delmarfest #delmarwineandfoodfestival
