Oh you know, just another day at the piazza in Terrazini. Living in a dream and waiting for my beautiful cousins to get married. This dress from LuLus was perfect! The olive green set the tone for the coastal Mediterranean vibe. The silky polyester was super comfortable in the Italian heat and the side slit kept it nice and breezy for my under carriage. 😅 I loved this dress and got lots of compliments on it all day. #whattowearitalianwedding #italianwedding #weddingguest

Packing for 8 is basically a full-time job. 😅

After years of digging through suitcases, losing shoes, and trying to remember who packed what, I’ve finally found a few things that make travel so much easier.

✈️ Vacuum seal bags
🎒 Color-coded packing cubes
👟 Shoe bags
🧺 Reusable zip bags
🪥 Hanging toiletry organizer
🧳 Different colored carry-ons for each kid

The best part? When we got to the airport, everyone knew exactly which bag was theirs.

If you’re traveling with kids this summer, save this for later!

This olive ribbed racer back midi dress paired with some braided heeled sandals was the perfect combo for a night out in the piazza getting gelato. Slicked back my hair to avoid to frizz from the humidity and I was ready to go! Dress size small. #whattowearinitaly #summerinitaly

One last Target run before Italy with 6 kids. 🇮🇹✈️

I went in for a few things and left with travel activities, airplane-friendly finds, and a cart full of things I’m excited to use on our trip. 😅

As a mom of 6, I’m always looking for ways to keep little hands busy during long travel days, and Target never disappoints when it comes to fun finds.

What’s your favorite Target find lately? 👇

Packing for yourself is stressful.

Packing for 6 kids while hearing “Mom!” every 12 seconds, answering 47 questions, finding missing shoes, and remembering everyone’s medications, swimsuits, pajamas, chargers, and favorite stuffed animals?

That’s a whole different level of anxiety.

Somehow moms aren’t just packing suitcases—we’re packing the entire family’s peace of mind.

If you’ve ever walked in circles wondering what you forgot, welcome to the club. 😅

I could wear these American Eagle jeans to bed they’re so soft and comfortable. My new favorite addition to my wardrobe. Perfect for those times when your legs aren’t summer ready. I love these jeans. Size can. I’m 5’4”. 128lbs #jeans #americaneagle #summerjeans

My beach day attire. Ready for the salt and sand on the Mediterranean. #swimsuits #italiansummer #whattoweartothebeach #summertime

#LTKootd #LTKSwim #LTKTravel

All of these items have been a hit with my kiddos while we are traveling. Packed in a toiletry bag for easy to and from. If you don’t have these things and you’re a parent, I’d advise you to get asap! Not only are they good for traveling but they also keep the kiddos occupied at restaurants or at times when you just need a break. #screenfreetoys #traveltoys #kidstravel

#LTKmomlife #LTKTravel #LTKKids

My favorite but if the season- my American Eagle wide leg jeans. Perfect for when the summer nights get cooler. Wore this for a casual nighttime walk for gelato in Sicily. #italyoutfit #summerjeans #whattowearvacation #americaneagle #ae

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

Comfy casual and quick to put on after a beach day without getting fully showered and ready. The hat hides my crazy salt water frizz, the tube top keeps me nice and cool and the sneakers keep my feet safe and comfortable walking the cobble stone streets. #italytourist #whattowearitaly

As a mom of six, I spend most of my time making sure everyone else has what they need.

This time, I got myself a little something. ✈️🤍

After months of seeing it everywhere, I finally splurged on the BÉIS carry-on and weekender set for our Italy trip, and I have to admit… the organization alone has me excited to pack.

Now let’s see if it lives up to the hype while traveling with six kids across Italy. 😅🇮🇹

What’s one travel item you’ve purchased that was actually worth the splurge?

And it begins.

The pre trip splurge. So many @target finds for my Italian summer. Cute woven fanny pack that’s big enough for a shit ton of snacks, comfy sandals for walking while carrying kids, and some product to help my skin and hair look semi pulled together. 😊

Always a win at Target.

Follow along to see all the things I’ll be getting to prep me for the summer we’ll never forget. 🩷

I’m not even kidding, these are the most comfortable genes ever! They are super thin and can be worn in the summer and the way they hang on your hips is just perfect. A little slit on the side makes the drag less dramatic. This hands-down is going to be my favorite summer lounge outfit. I am five 428 pounds and these are an extra small. Paired with the cutest button-down rib tank that’s great for layering also an extra small. #americaneagle #summerclothes

Summer vacation shopping splurge for my teen at American Eagle. Their linen striped shorts are perfect for the beach or a party. So many good prints for button ups too! #americaneagle #teenbot #summerstyleboys

#LTKmomlife

I’m obsessed with these lightweight summer jeans. They are wide leg, low waisted and super thin enough to wear on this days when your legs aren’t leg ready if you know what I mean. Paired with this staple button down black ribbed tank that’s perfect for layering and the sage green NY hat that can act like a neutral, American Eagle has the exact items to mix comfort with casual summer fashion for moms.

#LTKmomlife #LTKootd

The way this outfit just hugs lightly in the right places is why I love this. It’s thin, buttery soft cotton makes it light enough for chill summer nights. It is sooooo comfortable. This would be a perfect airport/travel/movie outfit. Feels like pajamas but looks trendy and pulled together. I love it so much! The perfect mom outfit to cuddle your babies in. #traveloutfit

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife

This Amazon sweater vest is a great addition to your wardrobe. Timeless, classic and can be dressed up or down. Perfect for those brunch dates on the patio or dinner with friends.

Look at the ease of that 360 spin! Beis definitely knows what they’re doing with luggage. Excited to show off this beauty at the airport. Italy, here we come! #beis #italy #travel

Little selfie action with my summer sweater vest obsession.

#LTKootd #LTKmomlife

I love finding events like this.

Not because I need more stuff, but because I love meeting passionate people, hearing their stories, and supporting the businesses that make our communities unique.

I spent the day @kuhnhennbrewing company exploring @popupgallerycentral and connecting with local artists and vendors, and bringing home a few treasures along the way. It was one of those events that leaves you feeling inspired long after you leave.

As a content creator, a mom, and someone who is constantly trying to reconnect with herself outside of motherhood, experiences like this fill my cup.

Thank you to everyone who shared their work, their creativity, and their passion. I can’t wait for the next one.

This sweater vest has been my favorite lately. It dresses up or down and looks super classy with dark acid wash jeans, black dress pants or black joggers. Very versatile and timeless. A great investment for a mom’s wardrobe. #amazonfinds #momfit #whattowear

Who doesn’t love a dress with pockets? These two dresses were the best purchases I’ve made from Amazon in a while. I got so many compliments and they were super comfortable size small in both. #summerdresses

Perfect Garden Party Outfit #summerdresses

Nothing makes a dress better than pockets. This light weight, colorful dress is perfect for a breezy garden party or indoor shower where the air condition is pumping. This is a size small and fits true to size. #gardenparty #dress #amazonfinds #whattoweartoashowet

LEVEL 46!!!!!!

I’ve never been someone who gets upset about getting older.

Every birthday feels like another layer of wisdom, growth, healing, and perspective added to my life.

I love the process.
I love who I’m becoming.
And I love the versions of myself I’ve learned to forgive and leave behind.

A new year always feels like a reset for me.

New goals.
New adventures.
New ways to grow.

I’m a life lover
an adventure seeker
and someone who’s always excited to see
where the next chapter leads.

Last year was beautiful, and honestly, I have a feeling this one will be too.

I started off Level 46 @coldsweat.club in Chesterfield. Over 100-degree heat, followed by plunging into 40-something-degree water, then relaxing under infrared light while questioning every decision that led me there. Shocked by the experience is an understatement. It was intense!

I loved it!

After that, Marco and I did a private yoga class, then I grabbed my favorite seafood salad from @da_francescos

Later that night, I was surprised by some of my cousins who I’m incredibly thankful for. Life changes people and relationships over the years, and somehow they stepped in and filled spaces in my heart I didn’t even realize felt empty.

I ended the night feeling grounded, grateful, loved, and excited for whatever Level 46 has waiting for me.

Currently obsessed with this cropped Detroit 313 button-up from @chaos.collection_ Perfect for heading to the city for a Detroit Tigers game paired with high-waisted Aline shorts and my Lacoste kicks.

When you let your toddler vlog the farm trip and somehow the content is better than yours.

I cannot get over his little voice narrating every single thing he saw. The kids have been carrying this camera everywhere lately and honestly it’s been such a fun thing for them. It’s durable enough to survive my house, easy for little kids to use, and they love being able to instantly print their pictures out like a Polaroid.

Definitely one of those toys that ended up being way more worth it than I expected.

Bedtime with my youngest has honestly become such a struggle lately.

Ever since Stallone was born, he’s slept with me because… honestly? It was just easier with six kids. But lately he won’t fall asleep unless I fall asleep too, and somehow he’s suddenly outlasting me every night

I’ll be exhausted, trying to settle him down, and nothing seems to work. I started playing soft stories and calming music from my phone and it instantly relaxed both of us. 🤍

Lately we’ve been using Whisper Wings and it feels like a magical little fairytale world at bedtime. The stories sound like gentle elders telling cozy bedtime tales, and the calming music has helped us both wind down so much faster. It also has other languages, like German and French, which stands out from other apps.

If your little one struggles to settle at night too, this app might honestly be worth trying.

Months ago, I got on a phone call with the incredible Terry Grahl from Enchanted Makeovers… and what I thought would be a quick conversation turned into HOURS of hearing her heart, her vision, and her mission behind She Is Your Neighbor — an event created to bring awareness, dignity, comfort, and hope to women’s shelters. 🤍

I immediately knew I wanted to be a part of it — and I knew Mark would too. So we volunteered to help build walls for the event…

But little did we know, we wouldn’t just be building walls. We’d also be building friendships, community, purpose, and memories we’ll never forget.

I’m so proud of all of us for pulling this off and literally weathering the storm together. But most of all, I’m proud of Terry. She is truly a light in this world, and you can feel the love she pours into every single person around her.

Thank you for letting us be part of something so meaningful. ✨

Sometimes a cute floral dress and a little sunshine is all it takes to make a mom feel slightly less unhinged 🌸✨ #MomLife #SpringStyle #RelatableMom #FloralDress #StMotherhood

I love them both! Perfect for a garden party right? #floraldress #showerdress #gardenparty

Bedtime with 6 kids is a bit unhinged.

The second I got one kid settled, the others were running around, wrestling, asking for snacks, or suddenly needing “one more thing.” Storytime, always a fail.

Then I came across @ozmoticlearning and honestly… game changer. It projects calming educational videos onto the ceiling and somehow gets my older kids laying quietly together and actually winding down for bed.

Math, science, language, scripture, meditation & more. You can totally tell this was made by parents.

If you’re just as excited as I was to have an educational movie theater in your kids bedroom, then this is for you.

What do you do to get your kids to settle down for bed?

#ozmoticlearning #bedtime #kidssleep #momhack #momtips

Just a casual day… loading 4 kids into the car, heading to urgent care for a tick removal, then straight to a birthday party like nothing happened. Motherhood really turns you into a crisis manager.

And honestly? Ticks are absolutely unhinged this year. I thought the spot on Stallone’s neck was just a scratch for DAYS. Even up close I couldn’t tell because apparently my eyesight left after child number six. It wasn’t until he kept messing with it and I tried to pull at it that I realized… that was not a scab. Immediate full body shiver.

But this is mom life. Someone always has soccer, someone has a party, someone has a random medical issue, and somehow… everybody still needs to get where they need to go. You learn real fast how to roll with the punches and keep it moving.

Thankfully he’s totally fine now, but consider this your reminder to check your kids for ticks because these little demon bugs are out here thriving this year.
