It's back-to-school season, and Real Housewives everywhere are rolling up their sleeves to help their kids settle in for a new academic year. In Boston, Camille Grammer helped her daughter Mason unpack fairy lights and pink linens in her new dorm room, while Sutton Stracke hired a professional decorator to spruce up her daughter Porter's new living space in Virginia. Meanwhile, Dolores Catania practically cleaned out the shelves of Target while stocking up on supplies for her son Frankie's return to Sacred Heart University. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 premiere May 5th at 8/9c on Bravo and stream next day on Peacock.

In an Instagram Story, The Real Housewives of New Jersey mama shared a peek into her heavy-duty shopping trip. With her leopard-print mask intact and the steely gaze of a woman on a mission, Dolores stood behind two heaving shopping carts. From what we can see, the loot included everything from food to an air fryer, pillows, and toothpaste.

Dolores' shopping trip is just the latest example of her support for her son's college career. When Frankie first got accepted to the Connecticut university back in 2017, his mama took to Instagram to gush. "All of your hard work and dedication has [paid] off Frankie! I can't wait to see all that is to come in this next stage of your life."

In the immediate future, we predict some air-fried meals.
