I'm Nikki! Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the interweb. This is where I take my Mommy Timeout. I just wanted to introduce myself and give a little explanation as to why I've put myself in a Mommy Timeout.
A little about me first: I am a military wife and a stay at home mom to my two beautiful little girls, L and Z. We now live in the Pacific Northwest, but have lived on all 4 corners of the United States. I'm 30 something and I'm realizing being in my 30's isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I love anything make-up, beauty and fashion related. You will most likely never see me without mascara or nail polish on. Health and wellness are two things I strive to keep a priority in my life and my families. I love cooking (sometimes), DIY, and Home Decor related things. I wish I was Martha Stewart and Rachel Ray mixed into one. Sadly I am not, but I try! And Pinterest has been my BFF along the way. Coffee keeps me going most days and I like to occasionally end it with a (well deserved) glass of wine or bubbly.
My girls take up a lot (if not all) of my time and after 2 years of being a SAHM (I worked full time until we moved to New England in 2012) I started to feel like I was losing 'me' in my everyday life of being a house wife and SAHM. I got to thinking one day that I really just need sometime to myself a few days a week. I needed a Timeout. I wanted my timeout to be something that made me use my brain in a way that didn't revolve around changing diapers, chasing kids around or cleaning up the mess my girls made; over and over again. So I decided to make this blog. Hopefully this will be a way to connect with other women out there that have been in the same boat and have the same interests as me. I feel like in order to have a happy home, Mom really needs to be happy too. And I think I found my happy place. I hope you find my timeout a happy place too.
Thank you for stopping by and taking a timeout with me. I hope you leave here finding something new that you may love, get that one extra opinion on something you've been wanting to try out and most of all, leave feeling a little better because you took a few minutes out of your day to do something for yourself. :)
See you in my next timeout!
Xo,
Nikki
