Hi ya’ll, I’m Nicole!

I’m the wife to an amazing husband and mom to our crazy 1 year old boy.

Here are some interesting facts about me…

Was in the Air Force
Married my (now)husband after knowing him 4 months!
Love to bake and cook
Am HORRIBLE at remembering to text people back
Have OCD when it comes to folding clothes (especially underwear and socks!)
Will eat the frosting off a cupcake BEFORE eating the actual cupcake

But you came here looking to know more about me than just fun facts right?

Well here it is:

I became a stay-at-home-wife about two years ago after quitting my full-time job as a salon manager.

When I became a new mom I realized I had so many questions about how to run a household and maintain my marriage all while having a young child to care for.

I started this blog because I want to help other women regarding these issues too. So here I am. Open and honest about my experiences, failures and learning processes.

Before we get to far let me tell you a little bit more about me and my history.

I am originally from Texas but currently reside in Florida. It was here that I really discovered my passions and truest self (which wasn’t always the nicest self).

Upon my arrival I was quickly introduced to my husband who was everything I didn’t want in a man. He was a total bro. Not to mention he is from Michigan. As a Southern girl, you stay away from just about anyone who is from a state further north than Kansas.

However, I married him shortly thereafter. And despite what others predicted, we’ve been happily married for 5 years.

After almost a year of being in Florida I was able to get a full time job at an Aveda Salon.

This was the place that showed me my love for business administration and management. I started working towards my college degree and graduated July of 2018.

After 2 years of hard work I was promoted to manager. Soon after however, I quit.

Through this life altering change of lost income, we decided it was time to purchase our first home.

Crazy thing is….we actually got the home.

Exactly 1 month after move-in we had the joy of finding out I was pregnant!

After much discussion with my husband it was decided I would stay at home. I was TOTALLY excited for this – something I’d dreamed about since I was a little girl:

Stay-at-home-wife and stay-at-home-mom

But, I quickly found out there was a lot I didn’t know about these two very important jobs.

And that’s okay because I learned and am STILL learning!
