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.

Just a friendly reminder that there is no perfect way to be a mother. We are all trying our best and just trying to survive! We can do this!! 💪❤️

My little #colorado boy ❤️ Justin would be so proud! Some of you might know this already, but Justin and I grew up in Colorado. We loved CO and always wanted to raise our kids here. It’s just fun to see the boys now living here and all decked out in CO gear. Wish so badly I could send this pic in a text to him and see what he would say. 💔

Also the slippers in this pic crack me up 🤣 Alright can you guess which twin this is?

🎉NEW BLOG POST!🎉 [link in BIO]

I finally wrote a blog post all about our new home! As many of you know the boys and I live with my parents and they are finishing their basement so we can live there! It will be perfect because we will have our own space, but I can also have some help when I need it!

As you can tell we are very excited! I posted a ton of pics before we started construction. I’m also sharing some of my ideas on how I want to decorate and I’d love your help! 🙌

The kitchen starting going in this weekend! 🙌 We are getting so close to having our own little space and I could not be more excited! We brought the boys down last night to show them their soon to be new kitchen!

I’ll be posting a blog post next week showing before pictures of the basement and what I am envisioning for each room. Make sure to subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss it! [link in BIO]

I have to admit I'm that person who always starts the year out trying to eat healthy. It doesn't always last, but the @walmart meal recipes have been helping. This meal was super easy to put together and it was all under $20. I didn't know you could buy rotisserie chicken already cut up and packaged. I am going to buy that more often to make things easier when making lunches or dinners! This was such a yummy meal! You don’t have to add a dessert, but sometimes I like a little taste of something sweet after dinner. # ad

Road Trip Tips on the blog!
[link in BIO]

Thanks to all of you I was able to put this awesome blog post together! I took the boys on an 8 hour road trip in October and before I went I asked all of you for tips! You gave the best tips and they are all in the blog!

I figured because of everything going on in the world more people will be driving instead of flying. I hope this is helpful!

What is your number one road trip tip! Answer below 👇 Will you be taking a road trip this year?

Sadly love could not cure his cancer, but it was always present until the very end! I know that love helped him get through some of his hardest days. That love gave us both strength to always keep fighting and moving forward.

Imagine if we could really cure illnesses or war with love. There is so much out of our control right now and it’s scary, but I do believe love can heal hatred within our own home, within our circle of friends, and with the people we see daily. Start with love and understanding! Let’s see where it can take us and what we can do with that power! ❤️

This healthy vegan meal was all from @walmart and it was so yummy! I loved that it was super easy to make and I only needed to buy 5 things! The less ingredients the better! I decided to take out the spinach and just do the quinoa and veggies for my boys and they loved it! I added the spinach with my meal and it was so good! If you're looking for a healthy and fast meal you should for sure try this one! #ad

Don't forget to save this post for later when you want a healthy meal to make for the family!

It’s a new year and new followers so I thought I would introduce myself!

Hi I’m Jenn, but my friends call me Coco (nickname from college). My husband passed away from Cancer over two years ago. We were able to get pregnant through IVF. We put in one embryo and it split 😱! Justin got really sick right before they were born and we weren’t sure he would make it to their birth. We were able to spend a couple months together as a family before he passed away. You can read more about my story in the link in BIO☝️

The boys are 2 years old! 😱 Their names are Marshal and Everett. We live with my parents and they are finishing their basement so the boys and I can live there! ❤️ I’m so excited!

About my blog: I had a blog while my husband had cancer. It was just a space for people to get updated on how he was doing. After he passed away I stopped writing and my friends and family encouraged me to start again. I didn’t want my corner of the internet to just be about cancer or just be about life as a widow. I wanted to create a space I could share my all, but not be defined by my trials.
So it might be a little different than normal blogs. I love sharing motherhood stuff, as well as photography DIYs, but also life as a widow. It’s been such a great place for me! It helps me get out of bed and brings me joy! I’ve even been able to share other people’s stories and help more people feel less alone in their trials. You can see more of their stories on my other account @cocoscaravancommunity

I’m now starting to turn my blog into a business so I can be home with the boys! It’s been so wonderful and I have all of you to thank for that! It would also mean the world to me if you subscribed to my blog and follow along there as well! [link in BiO]

Thank you always for the love and support! I truly love the community I have found here! ❤️

This is all I saw yesterday as my kids were playin

This is all I saw yesterday as my kids were playing outside. 😭 Justin would spend hours with my sisters kids outside at our cabin. He would build snow ramps and take all the kids sledding. He was the best uncle and it KILLS me that he won’t ever get to do this with our kids. He would have been the best damn dad ever! It’s not fair! 😭

Part of me is happy that I was at least able to see him with my sisters kids, but at the same time it makes me even more sad cuz I know how great he would have been with two twin boys 💔

It use to be a lot easier to get the boys to pose

It use to be a lot easier to get the boys to pose for photos! Haha
We were out playing today and thought it would be fun to take this pic again! The top pic was their first winter up here at our cabin.

We have a pond that freezes over and we love to ice skate and sled on it! The kids love it! Justin use to shovel it for all the kids and spend hours out there with them! Miss him! 💔

We decided to take my sisters kids and go to our cabin for a couple days! We had a fun night playing games and hanging out to bring in the New Year!

How did you spend your New Years Eve?

Top 9 of 2020!

Soo happy to say goodbye to 2020, but it really wasn’t all so bad. Trying to remember the good moments.

As much as I loved Minneapolis I would say my fav moment would be moving back to Colorado. So happy to be back here and can’t wait for my parents basement to be finished so the boys and I can move down there!

We were lucky to spend the summer up in Estes park where we could run and play mask free. (Mountain life) Another highlight of this year was being able to travel to New York City and sing at Carnegie Hall. That was once in a lifetime experience and so glad I was able to do it right before the world shutdown.

Props to all of us for making it through this year! 🙌

What was your fav moment of 2020?

*I had to make a top 9 of the boys and I and a top 9 of just their pics! There were so many cute ones I took this year!

I have been loving these easy and cheap meals from @walmart! This meal was super easy to make and my boys loved it! I have also been trying to find ways to include them when I cook and they loved helping me while I brushed the sauce on the pork chops! #ad

What was your favorite picture/moment of 2020?

This was probably my favorite picture I took with the boys this year! Such a fun photoshoot and we were so happy to be in the mountains after being quarantined all winter! For sure some of my favorite moments were seeing the boys explore and run around our mountain house.

Trying to find some positives looking back on this year! I’d love for you to tag me in your favorite moments/pics of 2020! Use this hashtag

This is exactly how I feel now that Christmas is over! 🤣 Ev’s face explains it all!

Christmas was such a nice distraction from the world and everything going on. I’m sad to see it go 😭 Getting back to real life can be hard!

Anyone else dealing with the post Holiday blues?

*also how cute is this pic! After 15 min of picture taking it was over it! Haha

They boys last Christmas compared to this Christmas. They for sure were more aware of what was going on and loved every second of it!

I just hope they don’t expect new gifts set out for them every morning 🤣 They are probably like wow this is awesome... I could get use to this! Haha

Merry Christmas! Our third Christmas together! M

Merry Christmas!

Our third Christmas together! Missing Justin especially on days like today. 💔 Seeing the boys so happy to wake up to Christmas morning helps ease that pain. Their happiness is contagious and it’s hard not to feel too much sadness. Just wish so badly he was here to share these moments.

As fun as Christmas morning can be for most people it can also be a hard day for others. Don’t forget to reach out to those who might be having a hard day today!

I hope everyone had a wonderful morning and wishing you a Merry Christmas!
