In celebration of my 100th live episode (ONE HUNDRED!), I’m giving away a bunch of my favorite things that I’ve talked about over the past few months of our daily chats!
Earlier this summer, we set out on a two-week maiden voyage in our (now beloved) Winnebago, Bernadette, our beloved Winnebago, with our sights set on checking Mount Rushmore off our travel bucket lists.
We were supposed to spend Bastille Day in Paris this year, but that’s not what 2020 had planned for us. Instead, we’re traveling America in our recently-purchased Winnebago, named Bernadette. Also, did you know that we’re currently in a coin shortage?
White Friends – I’m pulling together a running list of resources for us to help better educate ourselves about racism and to help our neighbors affected by it.
I’ve scoured the web to find fabulous Pride gears that runs the gamut from classic rainbows to a dash of Disney to salty innuendoes — everything’s better with salt, but you already knew that about me!
How many of you can claim to have “broken” an elevator on your wedding night? I’m also reminiscing about my mom’s truly awful haircutting skills, my other mama (Oprah) and how my “cute” office isn’t really anymore.

First day of school looks and feels a little different this year. Masks, mandatory daily health surveys, temp checks at the car door, separate entrances for each of grade cluster, no parents allowed to leave cars. (Also the first day in months that any of us has gotten out of bed before 8.) . Can you believe that Mason is now in Middle School?! . #backtoschool - by imcoopedup 2 months ago
Our grand plan was to spend most of the summer in Paris. We still managed to get there. - by imcoopedup 2 months ago

Add zip lining over the Blue Ridge Mountains and rappelling from a 75-ft high platform to the list of things I didn’t see coming in 2020! . The kids and I, along with my brother-in-law Pieter, spent half the day (over 4 hours!) zip lining above and through the trees of the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains at @thegorgezipline . It was a fun, and occasionally terrifying, adventure involving 11 zip lines, 3 rapels (one over 75 feet down) and a wobbly suspension bridge. . Now, every joint and muscle in my body hurts...but it was well-worth it. So proud of the - by imcoopedup 2 months ago
When you’re in the mountains and internet doesn’t work for shit for your daily Facebook Live show...but the hair is Siegfried and Roy fabulous. . I’m not going to lie, I’m seriously digging the big hair. I just wish for a little clean up. And maybe a little color. - by imcoopedup 3 months ago
How many times a day can you say, “OMG, that’s so gorgeous?” Because the Black Hills of South Dakota have pushed me to that limit! The scenery is magnificent, the vistas stunning and the lakes other-worldly. . Mason and I climbed up the rocks surrounding Sylvan Lake - easily one of the most beautiful in North America - this afternoon for one last look before we start making our way back to Dallas. . Also, don't forget to go to coopedup.com to sign up for my email updates. I'm planning to send out some photos soon! - by imcoopedup 3 months ago

Super fun day riding the dunes! Even with my epic wipeout (swipe to see the “after.”). An hour later, I still feel the grit of sand between my teeth. On the plus side, it’s a great exfoliatant. . Also, in the remake of Spaceballs, the role of Princess Vespa will be played by Claire. So much drama! . (PS - thanks @bombas for the snazzy #Pride socks. I got many compliments!) - by imcoopedup 3 months ago
When you’re in Santa Fe, but you wanna be stylishly safe. Love this new mask I picked up in a little shop there. Already kicking myself for not buying all of them! . I need to figure out where to get these wholesale to sell to my friends. I’ve already gotten so many compliments from strangers! - by imcoopedup 3 months ago
Everyone say hi to Bernadette! Just like her name, this gal is huge and fun-loving. She’s about to lead our family on all kinds of adventures! - by imcoopedup 4 months ago
Why do kids get to have all the fun? Daddy got a new toy for summer! Now I just need to figure out how to record my rides on my Apple Watch to keep tabs in my weekly fitness competition against @foodsparks . - by imcoopedup 4 months ago
