Father’s Day? Cute.

People keep asking what I got my husband for Father’s Day, and I keep telling them it’s a surprise.

The surprise is that I know exactly where he’ll be:
Field 5 at 7:00 AM.
Field 6 at 8:00 AM.
A folding chair by 9:00 AM.
And somehow sunburned by 10:00 AM.

Nothing says “romance” quite like spending Father’s Day calculating field locations, living off concession stand coffee, and yelling “LET’S GO!” at children.

Sports parents, this holiday belongs to us. 😂🏆

Tell me… what field are YOU spending Father’s Day on?

Who knew cabbage could steal the show? 😍

As an Italian, I don’t measure anything, so this recipe is all about cooking with your heart and stopping when it looks delicious. This trending veggie-forward dish is simple, packed with flavor, and the Boursin® Crumbles Garlic & Herb take it to a whole new level.

✨ Ingredients:
• 1 large cabbage, sliced into steaks
• Olive oil
• Salt & pepper
• Boursin® Crumbles Garlic & Herb
• Scallions
• Balsamic glaze
• Chile garlic sauce

✨ Directions:
Drizzle your cabbage steaks with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake at 425° for 25–30 minutes until golden brown. Top with Boursin® Crumbles Garlic & Herb, scallions, balsamic glaze, and chile garlic sauce.

Now tell me: are you team “cabbage is underrated” or team “you had me at cheese?” 👇

Try and share my dish or give your own a flavor upgrade with Boursin® Crumbles!

I spent years getting called Mom.

Then it became Bruh.

Then Bro.

Today my 14-year-old looked at his McDonald’s and said, “Wow, that’s dead ass.”

I don’t even know what language we’re speaking anymore, but apparently I nailed lunch. 🍟😂

Parents, what are your kids calling things these days?

🇮🇹I wasn’t built for spreadsheets and staff meetings.

I was built for beach chairs, ocean views, and deciding which pasta shape best matches my personality.

Some people hear opportunity knocking.

I hear the sound of waves, a Vespa in the distance, and someone bringing me another plate of carbs I absolutely don’t need but fully deserve. 🇮🇹🍝

Tell me I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Most people saw a cabin that needed work.

I saw the bones.

Maybe it’s because deep down I’m a mountain mama. Give me a fresh snowfall, a roaring fireplace, good company, and a view of the pines, and I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.

From the moment I walked into this property, I knew she had something special. Not because she was perfect, but because she had character. The kind you can’t manufacture. The kind you build on.

Watching this cabin transform into the modern mountain retreat I envisioned has been one of my favorite passion projects to date. Every decision has been made with intention, while honoring what made her special in the first place.

A huge thank you to my incredible partners who helped bring this vision to life. @buffettdesign hands down best architect! My friend JO who cared so much about the interior! To @arhaus for helping create the warm, elevated indoor and outdoor spaces I dreamed of. To @flooring101official and @canopy for the stunning floors that are about to completely transform this home. And to @kohler for the beautiful fixtures that will make every bathroom feel like a luxury mountain escape. And lets not forget @pendletonwm for the oh so perfect bedding! And @kohls we got all of our kitchen must haves! 

She’s come a long way, but we’re just getting started.

Wait until you see the fire pits. 🔥🏔️🖤

Are you team beach or team mountains?

Fifty plus years of waiting. One unforgettable night. 🏀🗽

Once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker.

Watching the New York Knicks finally bring it home after more than five decades was one of those moments that reminded me where I come from. Even all the way out here in San Diego, I was celebrating like I was back in New York.

The win was so iconic, the energy was so contagious, it even got my oldest up and dancing with me. 💃🕺

That’s what I love about sports. They connect generations. They bring families together. They give us moments we’ll be talking about for years.

Congratulations to every Knicks fan who never stopped believing. This wasn’t just a win. It was history.

New York, this one was worth the wait. 🧡💙

Were you celebrating too? Tell me where you watched from👇

We thought the biggest miracle of our Italy trip was finding a table for 10 every night.

Then the gate agent called our names.

A family of six. Upgraded from Rome to New York. First Class.✈️

Now listen… I don’t know who needed this upgrade more, me or the children. But watching all four kids experience something completely unexpected was almost as fun as watching their personalities transform within minutes.

Brody started acting like he owns an airline.

My daughter accepted the lifestyle immediately, as if she’d been unfairly downgraded her entire life.

The boys discovered warm towels and suddenly developed standards.

And Bobby and I spent the entire flight trying not to make eye contact with anyone in case they realized a mistake had been made.

Italy gave us memories we’ll never forget. Family, food, roots, laughter, and a reminder that some of the best moments in life are the ones you never see coming.

The vacation ended.

The delusion did not.

Tell me the most random upgrade, freebie, or unexpected travel win you’ve ever gotten. 👇
