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!

  • 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 ❤️🙌
  • My faithful companion as I go about my day 🐶 If only she knew how to cook and clean, too, that would help a lot 😄
  • 🌟{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. Want to find out exactly what I do and what products I tried to finally drift off to dreamland?🌙 Click the link in my bio❤️
  • "Feminine energy is about feeling, expressing, intuiting, just being, following, creating and receiving. Your feminine energy is about how you engage with a man to ignite this masculine energy. To be in your feminine energy means you are comfortable with listening to your intuition and expressing your feelings. You live in the moment with a zest for life." - Angela S. Holcomb
  • I try my best to have clutter free and tidy counters in my kitchen, but it seems so hard to achieve every day 😩 I try my best, just as many other stay-at-home wives and moms try, too. I do keep it simple though, and of course, always have some sort of dessert🍰 displayed for the week for hubby and I to munch on. But a kitchen that is used and a little messy is better then a kitchen that is always clean and perfect, am I right, ladies? 😁
  • So glad the weather is finally warming up ☀️ I'm excited to begin planting veggies🍅, flowers🌷, and although not my most favourite job in the world, weeding around the house and cleaning up the yard. I want to create a flourishing garden🌱 and make our patio cozy, homey, create an outside living room in a way, a place where I can drink my coffee☕, work on my blog💻, study, or read a book📖 What are some ways I can create a more cozy patio set-up? 😊
  • "I feel that we've grown closer as a couple these last few days. Even though it's under not-so-stellar circumstances, I feel that we're more connected and stronger than we've ever been before. Thank you for everything you have done." • Those were the words my husband said to me as we sat at our kitchen table, properly sitting down together for the first time in days, and talking about how we were personally feeling. • When you're thrown into an unexpected and scary situation, unsure of what the future is going to look like, you become very vulnerable, anxious, scared, and lost in your head. • As a wife, I'm doing what I can, and being who I am supposed to be to my husband - his source of comfort and support system. He sees that I'm here for him no matter what, that he doesn't have to carry this load on his shoulders by himself. I'm his partner, I'm here to help. That's what the Bible says we are supposed to be - the helper. • We've seen each other in a different light, how we respond and react when difficulties suddenly arise. We see now that no matter what happens in life, we are in it together. • There is no running away. This is real love. This is what marriage is about. • 📷: @cpienaarphoto
  • When your coffee bar ☕ area is cute, waking up in the morning isn't so bad. Anyone else have a coffee bar in their home?
  • "But mommy!!! I didn't mean to fight with my cat sister...I just want to play." 🐕🐈 The look she gives me when she knows she's been naughty, which is about 20 times a day 😂🙈
