✨💖 Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful moms today.
On days when you are exhausted, the kids aren’t behaving, the house is a mess, just know You’re doing a great job. Motherhood is crazy. Never in a million years did I think my heart would be this full. It aches and breaks, feels overwhelming joy, and love all at the same time.
We are all Super Mom in our own way. I hope today all the moms out there get to enjoy their special day, I know I will!

AD | Hooray for gardening season!👩🏼‍🌾🪴🎉 Over the past few weeks I have partnered with @walmart to...

It’s wild to think back to my 20s, even high school sometimes, remembering how hard I was on myself about my image. Beauty, body image, persona, everything back then seemed so important to impress and meet the perception of what society tells us is perfection or magazine-worthy pretty. Being thick, or freckly, round or bumpy, all of this is SO common and all of this is beautiful.

As you get older, it’s normal to shift focus towards health and well-being rather than trying to conform to societal beauty standards, and I truly wish I could tell young Nicki how little all of those worries actually mattered.

Life experiences and personal growth can lead to a greater appreciation and acceptance of our bodies and all they have done for us. My body has carried me through 2 pregnancies and 30+ years of crazy adventures, with many more years of health and fun to come.

If you’re reading this and in those young years, please know you are beautiful JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. Comparison is the thief of joy and there is NO ONE out there that has what you have for this world.

If you’re reading this and in your 30s-40s, please know you are beautiful JUST THE WAY YOU ARE and you’re doing great. Pave your way and stand confidently.

Your body, your beauty, you’re amazing. Look at yourself in the mirror today, smile, and give that person some love.

AD | Teacher appreciation is truly an under celebrated week. Teachers impact SO much of our children’s development, and should be thanked every single day. In partnership with @incommpayments gift cards at @walgreens I have pieced together an easy DIY gift any teacher would love! Every bit of it can be found at your local Walgreen’s!

Here’s what you need:
• Spare box (I used a shoebox)
• Scissors
• Tape
• Ribbon
• Gift Wrap
____________
Gifts I recommend:
• Google Giftcard (great for purchasing apps, books, music, etc.)
• Fancy New Pens & Stationary
• Teacher’s Favorite Treat
• Teacher’s Favorite Hobby Accessory
• Thank You Card

Head to my stories next to see how easily you can DIY the gift at home. My daughter’s preschool teacher made this first school experience the best I think she could have ever experienced so I want her to feel the love and appreciation we have for her. Giving with gift cards is a convenient and stress free way to give Teachers something they will enjoy, so make it Google Play or any InComm gift card at Walgreens to brighten the teacher’s day! #Walgreens makes it easy by offering a buy it online, pick it up in store option. It’s a convenient one-stop-shop for a variety of gift cards and gifts!

Check them out here-> https://bit.ly/InCommWalgreens

TGIF ☀️ 🐠 Just keepin’ it reel 🎣😜

I reeled this little baby in last week off the coast of Bald Head Island. Even though he was tiny I was I super excited 😆 we had such a blast with family and friends in #BHI over spring break and I’ll be sharing it all on the blog in the new few days! I also have a fun full feature Vlog coming to my YouTube channel of our sail, stay, and adventures there on the island. This trip got me so revved up for summer vacations, I’m ready for em all! 🌊☀️⛱️

Side note - this is a friendly reminder to all my #curvygirls and #curvymamas out there to WEAR THAT DANG BIKINI! Life’s to short to care what others think. Grab that suit in your favorite color and FLAUNT IT. This @fabletics two piece is everything I look for an more in a bikini so RUN 🏃‍♀️ , don’t walk, to their site and check out all the new swim styles they have for a wide variety of sizes!

Have a great weekend and don’t forget tomorrow is #Earthday so plant a tree, recycle, lower your carbon footprint as much as possible and celebrate our beautiful planet 🌍 🎉☀️

Not to be cliche, but confidence is key in life.
Loving myself and who I am is something no one can ever take away from me. Something happened within me after having babies that truly shifted my perspective on body positivity and self love. Repeat these to yourself daily. I remind myself of these and teach them to my daughters as well.

• Style is not a size.
• I’m always beautiful, even on the dirtiest, grungiest days.
• I am more than measurements.
• I believe in myself
• I have always been enough.

Confidence is knowing that no one else can bring what you have to offer. That no matter your size, how jiggly your legs or arms are, how your hair just isn’t behaving today, that you are happy with who you are and want to share that happiness with the world. Let you light shine. Life is too precious to waste it hiding in the shadows because you care too much of what some might think. I believe in you. You are beautiful. Look in the mirror and remind yourself everyday.

Board and Batten Entryway makeover! 🪚🔨🔧

This is part 2 of the series, you can catch one a few reels back which shows the planning, shopping and prepping of all the pieces needed for this project. There’s a clip I included that shows the board sizes I use but here is everything:

• 1x4 Square Edge Primed Spruce Pine Boards
• 1x3 Square Edge Primed Spruce Pine Boards
• 1x2 Square Edge Primed Spruce Pine Boards
• 8” Miter Saw
• Electric Sander
• Brad Nailer
• Wood Filler
• Caulk
• Baby Wipes (few reels back explains this 😊)

Overall Board and Batten is a pretty doable DIY for beginners so I highly recommend it! This look goes with lots of interior styles, it’s all in how you dress it up! When the final reel is up showing how I styled it I will have a full blog post up with all the minute details of the project.

I just love how it adds a little warmth and character to the entryway! What do you think?

My mom wanted to spruce up her home’s foyer and who am I to say no to a good DIY project?! .. Okay, okay, it may have been my idea 😆 Board and Batten gives small spaces a major customized look and I am thrilled at how this space is coming together.

Stick around for the completed project and how I style the space when it’s all done! 🙌🏼
