I moved my only girl into her college dorm this weekend and I’m still not okay. 😭🥹 In a house full of men, she’s always been my girl, and I’m going to miss her more than I can put into words.

But creating this space for her made the transition a little sweeter. We had SO much fun bringing Dylan and her roommate’s dorm to life with Pottery Barn Dorm. From the Twin XL bedding to the storage and décor, everything came together even better than we imagined.

We also had the help of our amazing local designer, Zach, and I’m obsessed with how it turned out. ✨

And college moms …. the Pottery Barn Dorm Wish List makes planning SO seamless. Highly recommend starting one before move-in!

What do you think of the final reveal?! Tell me in the comments. 🤍

It takes A LOT to piss me off. Maybe once a year someone actually gets me there. Congratulations, today we have a winner.

Imagine approaching my family, waving at us, acting like you’re a fan of my child, while filming us so you can later create an entirely false narrative about people you don’t know for views, engagement and followers.

Here are the facts she didn’t bother to know: there was a dangerous rip current and lifeguards specifically advised us NOT to allow my son in the ocean. We listened. We have it documented. End of story.

But she decided her version was more interesting.

She posted it. Strangers believed it. My CHILD started getting cyberbullied because of it. And after seeing what her video was causing, instead of taking it down, she PINNED it to the top of her page.

Let that sink in.

This isn’t about someone having an opinion about me. Have one. I’ve been doing this long enough to handle it. This is about creating a false story involving a child, watching that child get attacked because of it, and continuing to amplify it.

A phone in your hand doesn’t make your assumptions facts. A viral video doesn’t make your narrative true. And followers gained at someone else’s expense aren’t something I’d be proud of.

Come for me and I can take it. Come for my child based on a story you manufactured, and Mama Bear is going to show up every single time.

Views are temporary. Character follows you home.

Parents, what would YOU do if this were your child?

I thought all nano-hydroxyapatite toothpastes were basically the same…until I actually looked closer. 👀

Turns out the percentage matters, and most brands don’t even tell you what’s inside. I found @lumineuxhealth NEW 10% Nano Hydroxyapatite Whitening Toothpaste at Walmart and was honestly surprised by what I learned.

Run to Walmart and look for this. Now I can’t wait to see how it fits into my routine. 🤍

“I’ll call you in five minutes.”

ME TO DYLAN AFTER DORM DROP-OFF LIKE SHE’S DEPLOYING. 😂😭

She’s starting college.
I’m starting my new career as an unpaid long-distance surveillance system.

Location on. FaceTime available. Mother emotionally unstable. 😂 Watching your daughter walk into her dorm is the strangest mix of “GO FLY, BABY!” and “actually, get back in my car immediately.”

So proud of you, Dylan. Now answer your phone because it’s been six minutes. 😂❤️

Who else survived college drop-off?!
Huge shout out to @potterybarndorm for making her space simply gorgeous and cozy!

POV: College drop-off.

Everyone warned us how hard it would be for her to say goodbye to her parents.

Nobody warned her how hard it would be to say goodbye to her wallet. 😂💳 aka: DAD

Because apparently “independence” still comes with Dad’s credit card attached.

Eighteen years of raising her to spread her wings, chase her dreams and become an independent woman… and Dad just realized he’s apparently funding the flight. 😂

But jokes aside, watching your daughter hug her dad goodbye and walk into this next chapter? That one gets you.

We spend their whole childhood teaching them how to leave the nest, then suddenly they actually do it. ❤️

College parents, tell me: who cried harder at drop-off, Mom, Dad… or the bank account? 😂👇

Parenting is wild. You spend years preparing them for their next chapter, then act completely shocked when they’re actually ready to turn the page. 🥹

Brody and I are jumping on a plane to Utah to move Dylan into her dorm, and somewhere between the suitcases, Target runs and trying not to cry in public, it hit me…

We don’t get to keep our kids little. We just get to be really present while they are.

That’s the lesson.

Take the trip. Dance with them. Get in the picture. Listen to the story even when you’ve heard it 47 times. Put the phone down. Say yes when you can.

Because somehow the days that feel endless become the years that went way too fast.

Today we’re not just moving Dylan into a dorm. We’re watching our family grow into a whole new season. ❤️

Parents who’ve done the college drop off, what’s the one thing you wish someone had told you before you drove away? 😭

This song and dance is for you sweet @dylanluciaschaffer

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. 🧣🇮🇹
