Thank You, Baby CoCo
I can put these pictures side-by-side but I can never compare these two women at all. They are not the same person. Not even close. When I was pregnant with Nolan (age 31) I remember telling some of my closest friends that 33 was officially going to be my year, the year for me. IContinueContinue reading “Thank You, Baby CoCo”
Tiger Stripes with a side of Abs
For the last couple months at the gym Iāve skipped the treadmill and made all my weights heavier. šŖš¼ My goal was to build my core and my booty.

Blowing out someone elseās candle will never make yours shine brighter.
I teach my boys that calling someone skinny is the same as calling someone fat. Telling someone to eat a hamburger because you think they arenāt heavy enough is just as wrong as telling someone who is heavier to have a salad. š If we donāt have something nice to say, we donāt say itContinueContinue reading “Blowing out someone elseās candle will never make yours shine brighter.”

The mind is powerful but so is COFFEE
Takes a whole lot of discipline to talk a tired coco out of bed. Every morning at 415am my need to be the best I can be and my need for more sleep battle each other in my head.
