Hi I’m Jenn, but my friends call me Coco. I recently lost the love of my life to cancer. I’m now a single mom of IVF miracle twin boys. I hope to help others as I share my journey as a new widow and mother of twins.

We braved Costco with kids on a Saturday during Mother’s Day weekend 💪👊🤣

What do you think is harder the actual shopping or bringing all the food in after shopping? I hate hauling it all inside! Haha

Mother’s Day shopping with my mom! ❤️

I had a dream last night that Justin was here and

I had a dream last night that Justin was here and we took the boys on a camping trip together. Ugh dreams can be so hard. 💔

I grew up hiking, camping, and doing stuff outdoors. I enjoyed it, but Justin was on another level of love for the outdoors. He would have happily lived in a shack in the middle of the woods if I had let him 🤣

If Justin was still here he probably would have taken the boys on multiple camping trips by now. I love camping but I’m not that confident to take them by myself. Makes me sad that their life is already so different from what it would have been if Justin was here. Because he loved it so much he would have had the energy to do all those things. I try my hardest to do things with the boys that Justin loved, but there is so much I can do. Those were things he was good at and did, not so much me. This is the reality of losing somewhere.

We can try out best, but nothing will truly be the same. I’m sad because I know what they are missing out on 💔 they would have had so much fun with him.

#grief 😭

Could you imagine changing diapers, making dinner,

Could you imagine changing diapers, making dinner, and at the same time cleaning the house! Haha It would be amazing!

What would you use the force for?

It’s been so fun to have my bestie @livlyhood he

It’s been so fun to have my bestie @livlyhood here this week! We have been friends since we were kids, but have become even closer these past couple of years. She has been there as I navigate this new life without Justin. She also went through IVF which brought us closer together as we shared our experiences. She is a brilliant career coach and has helped me so much with my blog/business. Always there to listen to my ideas and support me along the way! I feel so lucky!

I have to give credit to my friends for one of the reasons I keep going. It’s so important to have a good support system while going through grief and I feel so lucky to have such amazing friends in my life!

This week has been so special to be able to see us both with our own kids. We once were playing pretend mommy with our dolls and now we have kids of our own. ❤️ Feeling super grateful for friendship and our IVF miracle babies! ❤️

New Blog Post! Sharing my favorite places to buy Star Wars clothes for my boys! [link in BIO]

I am a huge Star Wars fan and I have loved finding cute Star Wars clothes for my boys. A fun part of being a mom is being able to share the things you love with your kids. It has been fun to share my love for Star Wars with them. They know all the characters names and love to point at them on their clothes. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite places to find Star Wars clothes for my boys. #maythefourthbewithyou 🙌

What is something you love that you share with your kids?

Working out with kids..am I right or am I right 😂

After I finished doing my ab exercise Everett goes “good job mommy” haha my little cheerleader! I’ve been trying so hard to do at least 30 min of something each day! 💪 so hard

Finally posted my IVF care package blog post! I’ve been working on this for awhile now and thought it would be a perfect time to post this during National Infertility awareness week!

The infertility world is so hard emotionally and physically, so giving your friend a special gift during this process can make the biggest difference! ❤️ If you’re about to start IVF I hope this helps makes things a little easier!

My sister Maria visited us from New York City this

My sister Maria visited us from New York City this week and it was so fun to see her! The last time I saw her was when I was in NYC for my choir concert right before quarantine. She is such a fun aunt and the boys had so much fun with her! We have been hanging out virtually for so long it was just so fun to finally hang out in person!

I have three sisters and she is the second oldest. She is a professional opera singer and was even in the Metropolitan opera chorus for a couple years. She is now getting a DMA Doctorate of Musical Arts in Vocal Arts and Vocal Pedagogy (Teaching Voice). So basically she is the coolest! So happy we were able to spend some time with her!

🎉New Blog Post🎉 Toddler swim must haves for this summer! I learned from my mistake last year and started buying swim stuff now. Last year I waited until summer to buy things and everything was out of stock. Now is usually the time to buy stuff for summer! Check out my blog link in BIO!

Thanks for a the sweet birthday wishes for the boy

Thanks for a the sweet birthday wishes for the boys! They had so much fun! My sister was putting them to bed last night and she asked them “what was your favorite part of the party?” Marshal said “blowing the candles on the cake” ❤️❤️

I will for sure do a blog post on the party and how I put everything together! ❤️

Happy Birthday Marshal and Everett! Turning three

Happy Birthday Marshal and Everett! Turning three years old today!

The boys are OBSESSED with anything cars. They know the names of every character on the cars movie! So I of course had to do a cars themed bday!

I’ll be posting a blog post on their birthday in the next couple of weeks! 🙌

At the time these two were born I truly never thou

At the time these two were born I truly never thought I would become a widow/single mom. Even though Justin was terminal I always had hope and thought he would be here.

I didn’t know this at the time I took this picture, but I would soon realize how much I needed them to survive. They are my little life savers! They give me so much strength!

Can’t believe they turn three tomorrow! I’m so happy to be their mom!

“It’s a boy, just kidding it’s two” I wrot

“It’s a boy, just kidding it’s two” I wrote blog post all about our reaction when we first found out we were having twins. We even recorded ourselves after finding out. The video is also on my blog! [link in BIO]

Because of in-vitro we knew we put in one embryo so it was a total shock when we saw two little babies on the ultrasound.

Sorry birthday week so it’s been a picture overl

Sorry birthday week so it’s been a picture overload 😬 This is one of my favorite pictures of Justin and the boys. It was truly a miracle that Justin was able to live long enough to see the twins born. I feel so grateful that we were able to spend a couple months together as a family.

I think those few months together as a family really helped me to be able to keep moving forward. I love that the boys will have some pictures with their dad and know that he tried so hard to be there for them even though he was in so much pain. They will look at pictures like this and know their dad loved them so damn much! ❤️ He wanted to be here so badly! He would have been such a great dad to these two boys! 💔❤️

The boys turn three years old on Saturday so I apo

The boys turn three years old on Saturday so I apologize in advance for all the throwback pics I’ll be posting this week! I just can’t believe how fast it has gone and it’s fun to look back on older pics. ❤️

These were some of the last pictures I took before giving birth. Twin pregnancy was sooo hard! The last couple months I had extreme anxiety about going to bed because it was so painful. I would just cry all night and it was so hard to breath. The icing on the cake was getting preeclampsia the weekend before I gave birth. The swelling was so bad I could barely walk or sit. Sooo not fun!

I made it to 37 weeks and 3 days! I was more than happy to be induced and get the boys out! You can read my full birth story in the link in my BIO!

I’m sure it’s a twin pregnancy thing, but I did not enjoy being pregnant. I never look back and think “aww I miss that.” It was so hard, but soooo worth it!

Did you enjoy pregnancy or miss it? How about my twin mamas did you have a hard time as well?

Happy Easter! 🐰🐰 Hope everyone has a wonderf

Finally finished my blog post and my travel vlog from our trip to Texas. See more pictures and the rest of this video on my blog! [link in BIO]

It was such a fun week! Missing the warm weather!

I saw this quote the other day and it hit me like

I saw this quote the other day and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt this so deeply and really felt like I needed to share it. There have been times where I have received a message from a picture I had posted saying “you look like you’re doing so well” or “you look so happy.” Where yes there are days I’m doing well, but that doesn’t mean the pain is gone. That doesn’t mean I struggle to get out of bed some mornings. The “heaviness” is always there, I just choose to keep moving forward. ——- continue reading on my blog [link in my Instagram BIO on the homepage]
