Hello and welcome to one of our many loves, Simply Happenstance! My name is Nicole! I am a wife, mother of two, dog owner, and a friend always. I am stay at home mommy with a small media/advertising business. For the past couple years I have added writing back into my life. I have been documenting my experience with Autism and motherhood for various non-profits. I enjoy doing this in hopes of helping someone who is in need of support. My children {Mason 7 and Madeline 4 1/2} keep me on my toes daily, especially when Daddy is away at work for a couple of days (he is a firefighter). My husband is my rock and a wonderful man with a positive outlook in having the faith that God gives you only what you can handle. We have been married for 10 years.
This year has been my mission to take more time for date nights for us. I hope to document and recommend some local fun nights out (wink, wink). I love all things pretty and simple. A girlie girl through and through. My few moments of alone time can be spent walking through a home store such as (Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, and Anthropologie) I can never own too many aprons, cake plates, or cook books { I was too embarrassed to report all of my cook books that got destroyed in a bout of water damage in our home last year}! My hobbies are baking and finding creative outlets that allow me to be “me” and not always “Mommy me”. In life, I really do believe that we must stop and “smell the roses” as time goes by so fast. The simple part of me is enjoying this time in my life with my children small. My favorite moments are filling my home with friends/family and entertaining them with good food and good wine. I wish life allowed for more occasions for this to happen. But for now I am happy and content for the few that do. Simply Happenstance is a blog and our outlet that we hope to feature these moments.
Sara and I are sorority sisters that simply “happened” to end up in the same small town. We have many things in common which have set the tone of our blog. We hope that you can join us in our journey of motherhood, dreams that may be, the daily life, and our passion for Pinterest and Fashion.
