Relationship, Lifestyle & Homemaking Blogger

Hello! My name is Nikki, a traditionl girl living in a modern world. I am a young wife and homemaker, mom to two fur babies, and love everything pink. I am a firm believer in being feminine and using feminine energy to build strong, romantic relationships, and in creating a fabulous life for yourself. I also strongly believe in following the Bible on how to be a godly woman, wife and mother. So sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy!

  • I get emails, comments, and messages every week from young women from all over. Many of these messages start out the same. "I found your blog and it's so nice to know I'm not alone in being a housewife!", "It's so cool that you can be a stay-at-home wife without kids. I want that, too!", & "Thank you for being such an inspiration!", followed by some questions and asking for advice. It's such an incredible feeling knowing I am reaching out to women and letting them know that they aren't alone, that their lifestyle choices are valid and accepted, even if society, friends, or family may not be as supportive. I thought, "I need to get these women together and show them they really are not alone, that there is a community out there." And so I'm making this idea happen and started a Facebook group - Traditional Girl's in a Modern World❤️ • • This group is for the traditional wives, homemakers and young moms. For the girls who aspire to be homemakers, for the newlywed wife, the mom-to-be, the woman aspiring to be a more biblical wife. It's for women from all walks of life who wish to take the more traditional path in this modern world. Most importantly, we support and encourage each other on whatever path we are currently walking on. So head on over to FB and join us! Everyone is welcome ❤️
  • Happy 2 year anniversary, to my best friend and true love 😘 Cheers to another year of growth, love and adventure, struggle and trial, and knowing that whatever life throws at us, good or bad, we have each other ❤️ Can't wait to see what year 3 and the Lord has planned for us.

  • Ugh, I fell back into some of my bad sleeping habits this past week 🛌 I really shouldn't have had that coffee☕ that day...🤦 Must invest in a good decaf whenever I begin craving an iced coffee 🙄 But that's okay!! It's all good! I just got myself back into my sleeping routine and continue to use @rusticslumberco products to help me sleep. If you're like me, you're gonna wanna check out her site, and read my newest blog post if you wanna find out how to get a better night's rest! Link in bio❤️
  • 🌟Honesty Minute:🌟 I'll be honest here - my husband and I don't split the household chores 50/50. 🤷 What?!?! I know, shocking! But it's really not 😂 Not bashing on couples who do, especially if both individuals work outside the home. But when hubby works hard all day and wants to come home and relax, eat, and go to sleep, the one thing I don't do when he walks through the door, is bombard him with a list of tasks he needs to get done. He is the sole bread winner 💵 in the family, and he works 8-12 hour days🕖 I'm not gonna make him do laundry, dishes, vacuum, walk the dog, garden, and various other chores once he gets home, because it's "his turn" or "we share the house"🏠 Of course we share the house, we both live in it, duh 🙄 But my job as a homemaker is to run my household, so I do a majority of the household chores. Does that mean he does nothing? Absolutely not! 🙅 He DOES contribute and has HIS OWN tasks that only he can do, that are his responsibility to complete, but on his own time. And he does offer to help me out when he can or takes over a task if I need to do something else. Otherwise, no, we don't share 50/50 in the housework. And that's okay. I don't feel like a slave, nor do I get mad that he doesn't "contribute". We know our jobs and our roles, and we found a balance that works for us. And in my opinion, is a partial reason for the success of our marriage. So please don't feel bad for us homemaker's who tidy, cook, organize, take care of our fur babies, raise our little humans, and all the other little things we do every day. Don't think we're oppressed or controlled, or that our husbands are lazy and don't do anything. We truly love the work we do and put into our homes and families. It's our job, and to some of us, our calling in life 😊

  • There are so many reasons why my husband and I decided it was best for me to stay home full-time, but one of the main reasons is because I can spend more time cooking and baking healthy meals 🥗🍲 I remember working and coming home so, so, so tired, just dead exhausted💀😴, and even if I was starving, I would more often then not just pass out and nap for 3-4 hours instead of eat. This was not a once or twice a week occurence, this would be every day, and it was very unhealthy and not normal😣 When I was engaged, thinking about my role as a wife, I couldn't imagine working outside the home and having to come home and cook dinner, clean the kitchen, make lunches for the next day, etc. Realistically, it was NOT going to happen 🙅, no matter how much I wish I could be super woman and do it all. My husband works long days too, so there was no way that he would have the energy to cook and clean as well. We knew neither of us would want to do that, and that instead we would order in a lot or eat unhealthy, easy convenient food. By staying home, I have ample time to cook various dishes from scratch, make lunch, prep breakfast, meal plan dinners, and once in awhile bake a dessert. I've recently taken up making homemade jam and bread 🍞, and can't wait to learn canning and fermenting next, using all the fresh veggies growing from our garden. Being a homemaker means I'm able to aquire new skills, learn new recipes, and look out for my family's health and well-being every day. This is why I do what I do, and I love it ❤️🙌

  • 🌟{BLOG POST}🌟 I feel that I'm always on the go 🏃‍♀️, always doing something, coming up with crazy ideas and giving myself tasks that I have to get done. But when it's time for bed, I can't seem to calm my mind or physically relax 🤦 I get all jittery and have the need to get up and keep going, or my mind starts making lists of things to do and ideas I want to turn into a reality. This results in me either staying up way too late or laying in bed with my eyes wide open 🙁, and then I'd either get very little sleep or over sleep, which meant I was always tired. I had to figure out a way to stop, to turn off my mind and get myself into proper sleeping habits and a routine 😴 I was doing a variety of things to help me relax, and even reached out to my friend from @rusticslumberco for help and to try some of her products. Although I still have a rough night here and there, I can honestly say ever since doing these sleep remedies consecutively, I've been doing much better and actually having a good night's rest.
