23 years married to Bobby today and I still can’t believe he kept me

We eloped a week before he deployed to Afghanistan I drove my Jeep from Wilmington to Camp Lejeune top off veil flying like I was in my own low budget rom com probably looking completely unhinged on the highway Got married on base didn’t tell a soul

No big wedding no audience just a welp let’s do this moment that somehow turned into 23 years

And honestly I’m still a little delirious about it like sir you’re still married to me on purpose

Life isn’t perfect we’re definitely not perfect but somehow we’ve made it through everything from deployments to real life chaos and I’d still choose you every time

Even if you clearly had no idea what you were signing up for

Happy 23 to us 🤍

Happy birthday to my one and only girl in this house full of boys. The queen, the chaos, the sparkle we didn’t know we desperately needed. You balance out all the noise with your magic, your sass, and your heart. Built different, raised strong, and somehow still sweet in a world of roughhousing and snacks disappearing at lightning speed. Life would be way too loud and way less fabulous without my 18 year old princepessa @dylanluciaschaffer

How did 18 happen so fast?

Dylan, you are the best parts of me but somehow softer, stronger, and brighter all at once. You look like me, you act like me, but you’ve become your own kind of magic and you are better than I could ever be.

I didn’t just raise you… you raised me too. You gave my life purpose, direction, and a kind of love I didn’t even know existed. Watching you grow into the woman you are today has been my greatest honor.

You are my heart outside my body, my biggest accomplishment, and forever my baby.

Happy 18th birthday, my girl. The world is yours and I’ll be right here cheering you on every step of the way.

Drop some birthday love for Dylan below 💕🎉

💃There’s something funny about the lines we draw when it comes to our bodies… and I’m the first to admit I’ve moved mine.

What actually matters to me now is where I go and who I trust. I’ve been going to @revive.md  for over ten years and the approach is everything natural, subtle, and just refreshed. The goal isn’t to look different, it’s to look like you on your best day. Benjamin Button energy without anyone being able to pinpoint why. 🙌🏼 🤣

If you’ve been curious, April is a really good time to try:
Look at the April deals below! You are welcome ⬇️

Mix and match Sculptra and Restylane and get a free Restylane

Up to $100 off Radiance Wedding Packages

50 percent off CoolSculpting packages when you book 8 or more

15 to 20 percent off antioxidant and Vitamin C skincare

And if it’s your first time, you get $50 off when you mention City Girl 💃🥂

Not me casually turning back the clock one syringe at a time.

Our 1950s Big Bear cabin is officially in its transformation era… and I just found the detail that changed everything.

Not the furniture. Not the decor.
The one thing no one thinks about but it controls every single view.

We’re renovating the exterior decks, interior loft, and staircases and partnering with @citypostandrail for cable railings and even in the pre install phase I already know this is going to be a game changer.

Clean lines. Modern feel. And views that finally stay completely open.

And as a mom of four this part matters just as much because somehow this is the first time I feel like I’m not choosing between safety or style.

We’re getting both.

This is the upgrade that makes everything else look better and finally makes the whole vision make sense.

I didn’t come from much
Welfare, a couch in the living room that doubled as my bed but I never let that define how far I could go

I was lucky in the ways that mattered
a grandma who held it all together
cousins who made sure I never slipped through the cracks 
love showed up, even when money didn’t

Nothing came easy
nothing
every step forward was grit, stubborn belief, and choosing to keep going when it would’ve been easier not to

I always knew I wanted more
not just for me, but for the life I hadn’t seen yet

So I took risks
because when you start with nothing, you realize you actually have everything to gain

If you’re in it right now
keep going
build it anyway
dream anyway
bet on yourself anyway

You don’t need perfect circumstances
you need resilience

And if you can, help someone along the way
because that’s what changes everything

💃What’s helping my hair grow (and honestly my confidence too)…

First, I have to shout out my go-to spot in San Diego for blowouts and treatments @headlinesthesalon ….. the kind of place where it’s not just a blowout… it’s a full reset. Head massages, hot towels, and the kind of care that makes you forget your phone exists for a minute. Who knew a blowout could feel like a whole experience. Mention city girl for a discount on next blow out! 💇🏼‍♀️

For my hair growth, I take @nutrafol daily to support stronger, healthier growth from the inside.

To repair and strengthen my hair from breakage, I use @k18hair — it’s been a game changer.

At home, I wash and condition with @davines because keeping it healthy between appointments matters just as much as it is in the chair.

For extensions, I trust Chelsea at @miscahair to keep everything seamless and natural.

And I’m also spacing out my color appointments more to give my hair a break and focus on long-term health instead of constant processing.

If you’re trying to grow your hair, protect it, or just upgrade your routine, this is your sign to start now.

Save this for your hair journey or send it to someone who needs a glow-up moment.
