Hear ye, hear ye! 📜 As the sun sets on the final weekend of the Faire, my heart is still lingering in the village of opening weekend. One is truly never too aged to find magic in the meadow! 🌿
This year’s journey was one for the scrolls. I filled my satchel with the finest treasures—sparkling new baubles for my ears and nectar of the gods (that honey is divine!). I finally took up the steel and tested my aim at the axe throw... let’s just say the vikings should be wary! 🪓
But the greatest joy? Playing guide to my dearest companions for their very first visit. Watching them behold the wonder was the true feast.
I’m already dreaming of my return to the realm. My Pirate-Romani ensemble served me well, but the loom of next year awaits! Should I return as a mystical Wood Elf, a regal High-Court Queen, or perhaps a fierce shield-maiden? ⚔️✨
Until next year, stay enchanting!

The OFF-CAMPUS leads are how many years apart?! 😳🏒
We are officially back at Briar U! Between that steamy shower scene and the backyard workout montages, there is SO much to unpack about the premiere of the new series based on Elle Kennedy’s The Deal.
Here are 5 surprising facts you need to know about the show:
✨ 1. The Casting Secret: Our leads, Belmont Cameli (28) and Ella Bright (19), have a 9-year real-life age gap—but their chemistry reads were so electric that producers didn’t even blink!
✨ 2. Ella’s Transformation: You know her from Malory Towers, but Ella Bright actually mastered an American accent and learned guitar and piano from scratch for this role! 🎹🎸
✨ 3. The Justin Kohl Pivot: Huge change! Josh Heuston plays Justin Kohl as a brooding rockstar. He had zero musical experience and had to learn the “vulnerability of music” just for the show. 🎤
✨ 4. Broadway Pedigree: Antonio Cipriano (Logan) is a total Broadway star—and yes, he actually dated Reneé Rapp! 🎭
✨ 5. Season 2 is Already Set: This world is huge! Season 2 will follow The Mistake with India Fowler starring as Grace Ivers opposite Antonio! 🧊✨
I’m already spotting major pivots from the book—should I do a deep dive on those next?
Drop a 🏒 if you’re already Team Garrett!

Looking for your next show to binge after Heated Rivalry? 🏒🫧 I’m breaking down the 5 shows you cannot miss right now. The first one is for my hockey girlies, but the rest are just top-tier TV! 📺✨
Off Campus (Prime Video) – The Briar U boys are finally here! All episodes drop at midnight PT tonight. I’m currently reading the first book and I am so hooked—who else is staying up to binge with me? 🏒📖
Rivals (Disney+) – The ultimate 80s “bonkbuster.” Aidan Turner is magnetic, but it’s the scandalous Rupert and Taggie drama that has everyone talking. It’s the gold standard for book-to-screen adaptations. 🇬🇧🥂
Everyone is Doing Great (Netflix) – Both seasons just landed on Netflix! Season 2 is brand new and it’s the first time you can watch it. Stephen Colletti is fantastic in this—it’s the dark indie comedy you didn’t know you needed. 🎬🍿
Real Housewives of Rhode Island (Bravo/Peacock) – This just got renewed for Season 2 yesterday at the Upfronts! It’s the best addition to the franchise in 10 years. Newport mansions + total chaos = perfection. ⚓️💎
Euphoria (HBO/Max) – I know, it’s a total hot mess, but we cannot look away. We’re heading toward that massive 90-minute season finale on May 31st! 💎✨
Which of these are you binging first?

Post-Stagecoach blues are real! 🌵✨ I’m finally going through my camera roll and looking back at the ultimate Sunday at the ranch with @toyotausa
The Toyota Music Den was the place to be! I’m still obsessed with the Rhinestoned Tundra 1794 (that Daniel Diamond collab is 10/10! 💎) and I even won a prize at the RAV4 Lucky Lasso slot machine in the back of the RAV4 Woodland. 🎰
From snapping a fish-eye portrait to grabbing a customizable boot wallet, it was the perfect afternoon. Topped it all off with a front-row set from the Eli Young Band and some quality time with Rob! ❤️🎸

POV: You’re a Boy Mom on Mother’s Day 🥹🤣I just wanted ONE nice Mother’s Day video. Just one. 🫠💐 It took exactly 3 seconds for the big brother/camera hog to get taken out and for the 5-year-old to confess. 🥊🥜 Happy Mother’s Day to everyone else in the trenches!
#MothersDay #BoyMom #MomLife #RealityCheck #siblingrivalry
I’ll be honest—I wasn’t sure how today would feel, being my first Mother’s Day without my mom. But motherhood has a way of pulling you right back into the present. 🤍 Seeing the day through my boys’ eyes and feeling all this love made it so incredibly special.
We also hit a major friendship milestone! Traveling with another family can be a total gamble—you never know if the schedules and the kids will actually click. But @elizabethkeene , this was just seamless. You are one of my favorite people in the world, and seeing your daughter play with my three boys was a total highlight. I treasure the time we got to spend together! ✨👯♀️
It was the most gorgeous weekend at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar—the perfect backdrop for a brunch I’ll never forget. 🥂
But the real magic? My Mother’s Day gifts from the boys. 🎁 Swipe to see what they made me:
• Skyler made me a personalized tote bag with his actual handprint on it—I’m never taking it off! 🎨
• Asher handmade the most beautiful flower for me. 🌸
• And then there are the notes... Xander and Asher both wrote the sweetest messages, but PLEASE zoom in on Xander’s note at the end. 🔎 Let’s just say he has some very generous ideas about how old I am. 🤣 I am officially staying that age forever!

Happy Mother’s Day to the ‘No Days Off’ club! I’m thanking myself for the grind, but I’m also sending so much love to every mom watching this who hasn’t sat down yet today. You’re doing amazing. 💐

No, because I am actually spiraling! 😵💫 What do you mean Alex from Tell Me Lies is officially trading Baird College for Beechwood Island?! 🏝️
It’s official—Costa D’Angelo is joining the cast of We Were Liars Season 2 as Pfeff, and the Sinclair sisters aren’t ready. If you haven’t read the prequel book Family of Liars, I’m taking you with me into the 90s because that’s where we’re headed!
We are getting a dual-timeline summer in 1999 and the casting is 10/10:
✨ Josh Dallas (our Prince Charming!) as Young Harris
✨ Peyton List as Young Tipper
✨ Parker Lapaine (straight from House of the Dragon!) as Young Carrie
✨ Elysia Roorbach & Madison Wolfe as Penny and Bess
The chemistry between Parker and Costa is going to be high-key toxic and I am here for every second of it. Plus, Ebon is officially a series regular in the present day timeline with Cadence!
Filming starts this June—stay tuned because I’ll be tracking every single update from the set. 🎬
Do we think Pfeff is going to be even more of a red flag than Alex? I need to talk about this! 👇

Is anyone else’s eye actually twitching, or is it just the caffeine trying to exit my body? 🫠🎒🚙 Welcome to “Maycember”—the month that proves the system wasn’t built for us to actually thrive.
It’s not just a busy schedule; it’s a relentless, uncoordinated sprint of field days, spirit weeks, teacher gifts, and sports banquets that assumes every parent has a clone and a bottomless bank account. 🤪 We aren’t “failing” at the juggle; the juggle is designed to be impossible.
I’m tired of the “supermom” narrative. Some days I feel less like a multitasker and more like a human circuit breaker about to pop. We’re functioning on 3 hours of sleep and 4 cups of coffee because society expects us to work like we don’t have kids and parent like we don’t have a million other plates spinning.
This isn’t just “busy”—it’s caregiver burnout disguised as a school calendar.
We talk a lot about “protecting our peace,” but in May, we’re basically in a street fight for it. For me, survival looks like radical acceptance: My car is a lost cause until June, and “no” is a complete sentence for that third optional sign-up sheet.
Mental health in motherhood isn’t about “finding the joy” in the chaos—it’s about acknowledging that the chaos is too much and we weren’t meant to carry it all alone.
We’re white-knuckling it to June 1st together. 🙋♀️ Drop a “YES” if you’re feeling the Maycember overload, and tell me: What’s the one thing you’ve officially stopped caring about this week to save your sanity? 👇

If anyone knows how to navigate a Heated Rivalry, it’s Hudson Williams. Consider this his official transition from the ice rink to the perimenopause community. We’ve been looking for a spokesperson who understands the “always hot” lifestyle, and Hudson, you’re hired! 🧊🔥

Blue Ivy made her Met Gala debut at 14 because when your mom, Beyoncé, is a co-chair, you get the ultimate hall pass. Sunday Rose also joined the party tonight since her mom, Nicole Kidman, is a co-chair too. Honestly, Blue is the most mature person in the building, and Sunday Rose looked like a total pro. Between the teens taking over, Stevie Nicks debuting at 77, and Rihanna being fashionably late—the rulebook was tossed! 🎨🔥 #MetGala2026 #BlueIvy #SundayRose #Beyonce #NicoleKidman
