Reflections on Motherhood

In her caption, Dreyer opened up about how her confidence as a mother has grown since welcoming her oldest son. "How are you 8???? I remember the day you were born…I never thought I’d be a good mom," she wrote. But now, she is making homemade layer cakes with the Bruins logo and ice skating with her three boys. "It’s what Cal wanted and I will give these boys the world. Happy birthday buddy!!!"The first slide of the carousel showed Cal smiling as he posed by a slice of his cake. It featured yellow and black tiers with a Bruins logo on top. Dreyer also shared photos of herself making the cake and a video of Cal going ice skating, showcasing the fun and memories they were creating together.

Helping with Dinner

In a July Instagram post, Dreyer shared a sweet moment when her three sons came together to help with dinner. "I was in a rush making dinner last night and all 3 boys asked to help cut up the veggies. I took a deep breath and said ‘Sure! Why not?’ " she wrote. Although dinner was a little delayed, the family had a great moment together. "I can be quick to say no to their requests, but sometimes it’s easier and more fun for everyone to just say yes!"

Mother's Day Celebrations

In May, Dreyer posted photos from her Mother’s Day celebrations with her three sons. The spring holiday coincided with Cal’s first communion, and she shared a few photos from the special event on Instagram. "First Holy Communion, family, and Mother’s Day!! What a special weekend!! #soblessed," she wrote. These moments highlight the importance of family and the joy of celebrating special occasions together.Dreyer is mom to sons Russell (Rusty), 3, Oliver (Ollie), 4, and Calvin (Cal), who she shares with husband Brian Fichera. Through these various experiences, she is showing the world the beauty and challenges of motherhood.
