Happy Birthday, Mom! 🎉
Where do I even begin? You are the heart of our family, the soul that keeps everything running smoothly and filled with love. From the very beginning, you’ve been my rock, my guide, and my biggest cheerleader. Every hug, every piece of advice, every sacrifice you made—it’s all shaped me into who I am today, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
And here we are, on this amazing road trip in Italy, making even more memories together! Who else could turn getting lost in the Italian countryside into the best adventure ever? 😂 Every laugh, every breathtaking view, every twist and turn—it’s all even better because I get to share it with you.
You have this amazing ability to make everything better, to bring warmth into even the toughest days. Your kindness, your strength, and your endless love are gifts I cherish every single day. I hope you know just how much you mean to me, and how deeply you’re loved—not just today, but always.
Thank you for being the most beautiful person inside and out. I love you more than words could ever express. Let’s keep exploring, laughing, and making memories on this wild ride of life. Happy Birthday, Mom! ❤️🎂#happybday #mombdayLes mer
🍝 Road tripping through Italy with my mom 🍝🚗
GUYS. You won’t BELIEVE what just happened. We pulled into this adorable little bed and breakfast, all cute and cozy, and guess what? They served us the BEST sandwich in all of Italy! 🇮🇹💃 Like, move over Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast – THIS. PLACE. WINS. 🥪✨
But hold on to your pasta, because things got crazier I kid you not, we devoured a steak so big it could cover TWO football fields. 🏈🏈 YES, TWO. 😳 It was basically a perfect cow who lived its best life just to become the most EPIC steak we’ve ever had. Sorry, vegans, but I swear, it was a transcendent experience. I’ll make up for it in my next life, I promise. 😅🙏
Now that I’ve eaten enough for a small village, it’s time to snooze 😴 before tomorrow's adventures. Next stop: CRAZY ROME! 🏛️🗺️ Oh, the tourist traps are calling, and honestly… I’m not even mad about it. I’m obsessed with Rome – there’s just something MAGICAL about it, like it’s sprinkled with ancient enchantment and chaos. 😍✨ #RomeLover #SteakGoals #TouristModeActivated
Stay tuned for more Italian shenanigans! 🌍🍷 #RoadTripWithMom #EatPrayCarbs #LivingLaDolceVitaLes mer
**One Month Roadtripping with Mama: The *Hysterical* Edition** 🚗🤪
So, *picture this*. You’re on a month-long road trip with your *MAMA*. What could go wrong? Spoiler: everything and nothing. It's a wild mix of comedy and chaos! 😅
**Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day, But Our Chaos Was** 🏛️
Yesterday, we hit Rome 🇮🇹 and reunited with my friend of 20 years. To celebrate, we rented a four-person bicycle 🚲 (because why do anything normal, right?). It looked fun but felt like dragging a cement truck. We scream-laughed the whole way while Mama *yelled directions* like we were in the Italian Grand Prix 🏎️. Somehow, we survived—victorious, if not sweaty. 🏅
**The Metro Madness** 🚇
Just as we thought we had the day under control, BAM! My friend gets *pickpocketed* on the metro. 🕵️♂️💸 One minute we’re talking gelato 🍦, next minute, their wallet's doing its own Roman tour. 😱 Mama was like, “What can you do but laugh?” (Her other advice: "Never trust a public restroom" 🚽, but that’s another story.)
**Operation Fix It** 🛠️
Today’s about *damage control*. Step one: cheer my friend up with a Colosseum visit 🏟️. Step two: don’t lose anything else. 🧐 Mama and I still have our wallets, so at least there’s pizza and wine in our future 🍕🍷. We’re rolling with the punches 🥊 and making memories (and messes) as we go.
#ShitHappens, but we’ll be fine. *Probably.* 🤷♀️😂
*To be continued…* 😬🚗 #RomeAdventures #RoadtripMadness #ColosseumTherapy #MomAndMeLes mer
🚗🌍 The Roadtrip Chronicles: KING OF CHAOS 😂
So yesterday... oh man, buckle up. We hit a restaurant and I made the EPIC decision to order veal, which honestly tasted like it had been dragged through a mud pit. 🤢 Meanwhile, my mom was over here TRYING TO CHOKE HERSELF ON A BURGER 🍔—like, I'm whacking her on the back, trying to yell "COUGH IT OUT!" People were staring like we just escaped a mental institution, and I kid you not, it was THAT kind of scene. 😳🤦♀️ Oh, did I mention I was sipping coffee? Of course, it was basically lava 🌋, and I spit it right out—straight onto the table—crying and laughing like a maniac. 😭☕💦 #TotalMess #SendHelp #NotReadyForSurvivor
TODAY THOUGH! My friend, aka KING of CHAOS 👑, left SUPER early for the airport. Did we think things would calm down? HAHAHA NOPE. Guess who forgot the car key in MY bag?! YUP. 🙄 He’s off to France without the key and now it's me and Mom’s personal mission to find a post office 🏤 in the middle of Rome to send this thing over the Alps. Like, no big deal, right? #KeyToNowhere #RomeAndRuin
And of course, we’re heading to the Vatican today like proper tourists ✨⛪, so fingers crossed 🤞 we stumble upon a post office while we pray for divine intervention! I mean, if we can find the Sistine Chapel, surely we can find a mail drop, right? Right?! 😂🙏
Dear universe, thank you for all the insane adventures, but seriously, can I get just ONE day where I don’t feel like I’m living in a reality TV show? 🤣 Just one normal, chaos-free day with my mom would be great. Just ONE. 🙏

🚗 Italian Road Trip Gone Wrong: 🍕#WhyDidIDoThis
Okay, so I THOUGHT a cute little road trip through Italy would be this *dreamy* experience—sunsets, scenic drives, endless pasta and maybe some sexy Italian accents? WRONG. 🚫 My current reality? I’m in Napoli, and let me tell you, I’m now questioning EVERY SINGLE LIFE CHOICE that led me here. 😩
First of all, THE ROADS What are these? A post-apocalyptic obstacle course?? 🏎️💥 Potholes the size of my regrets, dirt like we’re off-roading through an abandoned construction site, and I swear my car is considering quitting on me. I can literally hear it groaning every time I hit another crater. RIP, sweet car. You were too good for this world. 😭💔 #CarFuneralSoon
And guess what? I dragged myself here for a pizza. A PIZZA, Jessica. Seriously, how stupid can you be??? 🤦♀️ Like, I could have ordered a decent pizza back home, sat in peace, and watched Netflix, but noooooo, I decided to DRIVE THROUGH NAPOLI to find one. #BadDecisionsWereMade
Right now, all I want is to lock myself in the room and never emerge. EVER. Maybe I’ll just become a hermit and send postcards to the outside world like, Yeah, I came to Italy and never left my room.🏨✨
I mean, I’m still holding on to the faint hope that the people are friendlier than the roads, but honestly, at this point, a smile won’t fix the trauma of this journey. 😅 So, what now? Do I stay and pretend I'm living the dolce vita or pack my bags and run like I'm in a low-budget action movie? 🎬💼 #FleeingItaly
Pray for me, guys. Send wine. 🍷 #Help

🚗 Napoli Adventures : Pizza, Naps & Ballerina Moms🍕🍷 #HelpMe
So, after the trauma of Napoli's roads and my near car funeral, we decided to actually go explore the city. 🌆 Turns out, Napoli has some really cool stuff going on (who knew?). We walked around, and I swear, I found like 12 buildings I’m ready to renovate. 🏚️💸 Unfortunately, my bank account disagrees. Where are you, money, when I need you? 😭 #BrokeButVisionary
In MY mind, these crumbling buildings are beautiful. Architectural masterpieces waiting for a Jessica touch. In reality, though? They probably need more work than my will to live. 🤷♀️ But still… potential!
After endless strolling, we stumbled across the cutest little center full of boutiques. 🌸 We window-shopped, but then I was like, “Yeah, cool, but can we GO BACK NOW?” I needed a nap, and let’s just say I’m a pro at collapsing into a bed. 😴💤
Cue my ballerina mom. 💃 She’s the human equivalent of a tap dance when she rummages through her bags. Quiet is NOT in her vocabulary. Of course, my peaceful nap dreams were shattered, and I turned into Grumpy Cat 🐱. So, what do I do? I’m like, Fine! Let’s play Yahtzee since you're clearly on a mission to ruin my sleep. And we did.
Guess who won 3 out of 3 games? Oh yeah, ballerina b*tch mom over here, gracefully crushing my soul with every roll. 🎲🙄 The woman is a Yahtzee ninja and shows no mercy.
Finally, 7 PM rolled around, and I knew the pizza place was open. 🍕 The reason I came to Napoli—the promise of the world's best pizza. So, we rushed over, grabbed our pizza and some wine (because by this point, I needed emotional support), and the pizza was DELICIOUS. 🍷
BUT—wait for it—I STILL think the best pizza is in… ÖREBRO. 😳 Y’all, I drove 3,714 kilometers to the mecca of pizza only to realize I’ve almost been living next door to the greatest slice! Like, seriously?! #fratellisörebro
At least the wine was AMAZING. 🍇✨ I’m ready to drown in a wine barrel and call it a day. If I die in Italy, let it be in a vineyard with a glass in hand, okay? #WineGoals
But hey, without Napoli, we wouldn’t have the best pizza in Örebro, so grazie mille, ItalyLes mer
🚗 Napoli PTSD & Amalfi Coast Escape: Wine & History Edition🍷🏖️ #StillSurviving
So after the Napoli street Nightmare, we thought, “Let’s chill on the Amalfi Coast!” 🌊 Sounds dreamy, right? WRONG. The second I saw the swarm of cars, I had instant trauma flashbacks. 🚗💥 No way was I going to park my baby in that chaos—she’s survived Napoli without a scratch, and I’m not about to test my luck! 😬
So, what did we do? We speed through the entire Amalfi Coast like we were in a Mario Kart race. 🏎️💨 While my mom’s over there enjoying the scenic views, I'm laser-focused on dodging cars, scooters, pedestrians, and I swear, the random chickens on the road. 🐓 I’m sure it was beautiful, though. I think I caught a glimpse of the sea through my side mirror for like half a second. 🌊😂 #SoRelaxing
Now, here we are, in the middle of NOWHERE for 3 days. 🏝️ Absolutely zero plans except for strolling along the beach like some bored romantic novel characters. Maybe I’ll dig into the local history here—apparently, this place has some deep roots, like 2600 years of history or something. 📜 But honestly? I’ll probably just lie on the sand and question my life choices. 😆 #BeachBumVibes
The highlight of today? That bottle of wine I got from Nizza Monferrato 🍇🍷—remember that vineyard? It’s been calling my name ever since I fled the Amalfi car hell. “Drink me, Jessica, you deserve it.” And yes, I do. I will crack it open tonight and let it wash away all my road trip trauma. 😌 #WineTherapy
Stay tuned, I’ll give you the full rundown on the wine experience soon. For now, I’ll just sit here, sipping away, pretending I’m living la dolce vita. ✨🍷 #VinoGoals #AmIItalianYet #EscapeFromNapoliLes mer
🚴♀️ The Great Mom-Bikeride Adventure 🚴♀️
Alright, buckle up for this wild ride – literally! So, mom and I decided to brave a bike ride today. Except, my saddle was apparently channeling its inner mechanical bull, tilting up, down, left, right... like a truly awful vibrator without the vibe. 🙄 How we both survived is beyond me! 😂 AND believe it or not, mom DIDN'T crap her pants in sheer terror – it's a miracle, people! 🎉 #MomSurvivalWin
Now, I’ve never seen someone so zen with cars whizzing past their elbow like it's nothing, but put her in the safety of an actual car? FULL. PANIC. ATTACK. DELUXE. 🚗💥 Go figure. But hey, mama’s brave heart was rewarded with gelato (because duh, Italy 🇮🇹). I opted for a granita, and let me tell you – YUM. 😋 We were both happy campers, licking our treats like we owned the place. 🍦✨
After that, we hit the beach for some nice and chill pig-roasting relaxation (aka, sunbathing). No major dramas there – just pure bliss. 🏖️ Now, we’re prepped and primed for a fancy dinner, and guess what? This time we actually know what time to show up: 7:30 PM SHARP. ⏰ No fashionably late fiascos tonight, folks! Time for a quick shower and to shave the other leg because, you know, symmetry. 😂💃 #BeautyQueenGoals
Tomorrow, it's off to Tropea! This place has been ah-mazing, even in the off-season. So calm, relaxing, and service? TOP NOCH I will miss this place 👌 We’re already feeling a little spoiled, but hey, we deserve it! 💅 #TropeaHereWeCome #BeachBumsAndBikeSurvivors #BestVacationEver
Review of Hotel Poseidonia Mare
I don't even know where to begin – the service at Hotel Poseidonia Mare is simply outstanding. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the warmth and kindness of the staff. The hotel is impeccably clean, and every detail seems to be taken care of with love and attention. I almost get teary-eyed whenever it's time to leave because it feels like saying goodbye to family.
Alessandro, the hotel director went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. He even drove me to post a letter to France, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It’s these little acts of kindness that make this hotel truly special.
The breakfast was exceptional, offering everything I could possibly want. Every morning, I was greeted with a variety of fresh and delicious food that left me feeling full and satisfied. The meals throughout the day were also fantastic – generous portions, rich flavors, and cooked to perfection.
What truly sets Hotel Poseidonia Mare apart is the heart and passion the staff put into their work. Every interaction is filled with warmth, and it’s clear that they genuinely care about making each guest's stay as pleasant as possible. It’s a place I never want to leave, and I’m already planning to come back.
Thank you so much for making my stay unbelievably pleasant and memorable. I couldn’t have asked for more! I'm very grateful 🙏#HotelPoseidoniaMareLes mer

So yesterday, on our EPIC mother-daughter Italian road trip, was VERY calm. I’m still waiting for the chaos to hit, like a storm lurking in the distance. But so far? Nada. Well, unless you count my fabulous shoes. 👠💁♀️
Listen, these are no ordinary shoes. These are THE perfect shoes, like, I’ve never felt so powerful strutting around cobblestone streets. I’m walking like I’m on a damn catwalk, feeling like an actual goddess. 👑✨ We head down this gorgeous (but definitely made-to-kill-you) staircase, and here I am, thinking I’m gonna keep up the sexy vibes. The stairs have this insane angle, though, like, was the architect DRUNK? 🤨🍷 Anyway, instead of sashaying down like some Instagram queen, I end up doing this weird crouch-walk, knees bent like I just crapped my pants. 🚶♀️😂 The people around us? They’re living for it, waiting for me to faceplant and give them a show. But no, sorry to disappoint folks—I’m a high heel pro. Not today, gravity. 💅😎
Post-staircase survival, we grab lunch, and I FINALLY get some nasal spray to banish my sinusitis to the seventh circle of hell. 🤧🔥 Seriously, my head’s been feeling like it’s about to blow up. Sinuses? Not cute on a road trip, let me tell you.
So after that, we head back for a nap. 😴 But, of course, there’s my mom—the tiny ballerina who cannot stay quiet for the life of her. 🩰🎻 She’s like a miniature orchestra every time I try to sleep. So now? Payback time. She’s been peacefully passed out, but I’m about to wake her up her way: by jumping on the bed and being as obnoxious as humanly possible. Let’s see how she likes it. 🛌🎉😈 (sidenote she didn't)
Anyway, time to get ready for tonight because I found a spot with live music, and something tells me the real chaos is about to begin. 🎶💃 Italy isn’t ready for us. Cue the dramatic soundtrack. 🎶💥

So, my mom and I hit the road for a six-hour drive because we had to take the “fun” route (aka get lost on tiny roads). I’m starving, so I kindly ask my mom to find a restaurant. Google leads us to one… and it’s closed. Damn you, Google! She finds another spot, and it’s a bar. I’m like, “Mom, I need food, not shots.” I’m hangry, and poor mom is just trying to survive.
We finally get to Foggia, circle the hotel five times because we’re blind, and I send her to check. She steps out, and boom, the hotel magically appears. We’re both idiots. At this point, all I care about is food.
FINALLY we get out to eat and I ask mom, “Wanna eat here?” Silence. I ask again, and she’s like, “No.” My patience is gone. We finally find a place, and I tell her about the local car theft warnings. Now she’s stressed out, eyeballing the door like we’re about to get robbed.
As soon as I finish eating, she’s like, “Let’s go,” speed-walking back to the hotel. She can’t relax for five minutes. Chill pill, mom, seriously.
