❤️I am raising them to feel empowered by their individuality. You know that saying: “there’s only one of you?”
They should feel great about what sets them apart. 🙌🏼
Roman - An Upstander
Jackson - Determined
Dylan - Creative
Brody - Passionate
As parents, we should remind our kids of that as often as possible.
Slip in notes in their lunch boxes, leave sticky notes on their doors, tell them in person: you are powerful just as you are.
The beauty is that no matter what road they go down, or how different they may seem from others, that individuality is what makes their life (and ours) so bright and colorful. ❤️🤎💜🖤🧡💛💚💙 Tell me about your kids below!

Today my baby brother would have been 36 years old! 🙏🏼
Never in a million years did I think the ink on my forearm would be my forever link to my little brother.
The INK ON MY FOREARM. (“Sissy” because that was my name to him)
Not a weekly phone call.
Not a drive-by at his favorite Hermosa Beach hangout.
Not home for the holidays together.
Rather, the ink on my arm.
Grief is probably the most difficult pain I've ever endured. Without the support of my people (people defined as my family, friends, HIS friends, and countless strangers), and the ability to express myself in my chosen manner, it would be a thousand times more difficult.
My message to anyone grieving: Lean into your people. But more importantly, lean into your own version of self expression. This was mine after losing my brother.
Would love to hear about your version... comment below.
Special thanks for his friends stopping by his bench today to share a hug, and this loss together. Thank you🙏🏼
And if you want to know how he died! Click the link in my bio!

I lost 18 lbs.
About two years ago, I started to put on some extra weight. At the time, did I think it would take 25 lbs before motivating myself to get back on track to reach my own personal weight goals? Heck no! But, guess what? Turns out, I was okay with that. Why? Because…
🎈It’s okay to gain weight and BE HAPPY.
🎈It’s okay to EMBRACE BEING COMFORTABLE in your own skin, no matter your size.
🎈It’s okay to INDULGE
🎈It’s okay to WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME to change habits.
Not to toot my own horn, but I’m one of the most motivated people I know! Over the past two years, my motivations were simply prioritized elsewhere, and I was a-okay with that.
Losing weight is about committing, changing habits, and prioritizing your goals.
As a working mom of four running a business, (not to mention homeschooling and chauffeuring kids around), I’m well aware we can’t have and do it all. It’s give and take.
Losing weight is HARD. You have to be ready to put yourself first, and that may or may not work for you during certain phases in life. So just remember, if it’s not in the cards for you right now, it’s okay to allow yourself some grace, happiness and acceptance until you decide it’s time for change.
More to come on my weight loss journey. Meanwhile, I’d love to hear what’s currently motivating you these days. Comment below!

🏈✈️ It’s been a whirlwind of emotions watching this weekend all unfold! Brody and Dylan were invited to dance at the @49ers game and watching them take the dance platform in front of 70,000 people was beyond anything I could ever imagine. Brody has always been inspired by his sister @aspiringdylan so to see them together in this unbelievable moment was beyond magical. ⭐️ My husband and two other boys are die-hard niners fans so they too were smitten with the entire experience! We will forever be grateful and I am sure they will remember this forever! To watch some of the video please head to our stories or today’s post on @bossbabybrody ‘s page! #proudmama #49ers #dancefamily #ninersnation #danceboss #bossbabybrody #littlestunner #risingstars

There’s something about that mother/son bond that gets me every time. When National Sons Day rolled around, I reflected on what it means to be a boy mom, and how lucky I am to get to see life through three completely different lenses.
Being a mom to Jackson is like looking through the lens of Rayban’s Wayfarer. Cool and classic, sporty, and flies under the radar. He’s confident, kind, compassionate and humble. Whether it’s on the field, or on screen, I will never get tired of watching him do his thing.
Roman on the other hand, is like peeking through a pair of polarized Oakley Flight Deck snowboarding goggles. No matter how big or small, he’s always ready for the next adventure. He’s our explorer, our builder and dreamer. I can’t wait to see all the mountains this kid will move.
When Brody came along, it was like putting on a pair of virtual reality glasses. Right before my eyes, I stepped inside a whole new world of music, play and dance – a world where gender stereotypes don’t exist, and authenticity is celebrated. Watch out world… our tiny dancer is just getting started.
Every day is National Sons Day at the Schaffer house, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their individuality, and the perspectives they bring to us as parents.
Where are all my boy mamas? How are you celebrating their individuality?
And how cute are these throw back pics?
