Hola!
So glad you found your way to my little blog.
So here’s a little bit about me.
My name is Nikki. I am from a little town in North Dakota called Rugby, which is also the geographic center of North America. I wouldn't change growing up in North Dakota for anything. I have a younger brother and we grew up running around barefoot outside, building extravagant tree houses, and being pulled by the four wheeler in the orange wagon on the "roller coaster". I loved my childhood. It was awesome to say the least and filled with so many memories of playing with my cousins and best friend.
I was raise on a farm just a little ways outside of town. I grew up working right along side my dad. I remember the first time I got to drive the tractor, I was 5 and couldn't reach the petals. It was exciting but scary at the same time. Ever since I was 5 I have said I want to be a farmer when I get big. Well 18 years later I can proudly say I hold an active roll on our family farm. I graduated high school in '14 and I went to college for Farm and Ranch management and graduated in '16. That spring I moved back home and was able to increase my cattle herd. Animals are seriously my life!!
I have not only learned hard work and craftsmanship from my Dad, my Ma has played a large roll herself. When my brother and I were younger she worked a full time job, juggled 2 kids, helped my dad on the farm, and was able to keep the house from burning down. There did come a time where she was able to quit her job and be a stay at home mom which was awesome because we got to see her more. I clearly didn't get her "improvise cooking skills" gene... I don't know what she does to her cooking but everything tastes so good and it doesn't even have to be anything "fancy" either. That and her baking skills are on point! I have been able to pick up on a lot of things on that side!
Not only are my parents a huge part of shaping my life but I have found a deeper love and connection to Jesus since moving back home. I'm not sure what clicked while I was in college but a light bulb sure came on sure. I now attend bible study which I never thought I would be "that person" but honestly I wish more people would come because it is so informative. I am the youngest of the group by at lest 20 years I'd say, which is so sad. We need Jesus in our life and in my eyes our society is defiantly starting to show why because we are defiantly a wreck.
The most recent life discoveries have been essential oils, healing the body naturally, and "homestading" skills . I am in no means an expert but as my cousin says "I know enough to be dangerous" haha. I seriously have a passion for this line of work that I didn't even know I had. I am constantly finding new things to incorporate into my life and other swaps I can make to better my life and the people around me. A large majority of this blog that I dedicate my time to, I want to inform people of simple yet life changing hacks. We rely so much on stores and quick fixes that we are forgetting the bigger picture.

All in all I'm just a young gal with an old soul that is loving life.
But more than anything I love God.
And in this season I am learning how good and gracious He is regardless of what adventures are going on in my life.
Much Love XoXo
