The Cooped Up Mom

Since starting this blog well over a year ago, I have barely written. It's hard writing and having a family but mostly I just forget! With that, I clearly have no followers! Who follows a blog that doesn't post? Nobody! So my goal for the next little while is to post once a month. I can do that right?! Well here it goes! I'll start with a bit of a re-introduction.

Hello!

My name is Nicole but don't call me that... I've been known as Nikki since birth. My parents don't even call me Nicole. In fact, I think I've heard my mom say Nicole once in my life.

I am a mother of two great boys that keep me on my toes and wife to my handsome hardworking husband, Evan. 

In December 2013, I gave birth to my first. A boy named Cooper. The following year, I started sewing bibs and teethers and with that Cooped Up Creationz was born! I love seeins and crafting but heading back to work, I didn't have a lot of time to work on it. In figured once the second was born in 2016, that I would have a lot of time to work on it but 2 kids takes up a lot of my time!

I've recently closed up shop for the summer. I made the big decision to give up my craft room to make space for a second student. So this summer our goal is to convert the playroom to a combined craft and playroom, giving the big craft room to our first student, Kitty.

Cooper starts kindergarten in the fall, so hopefully, I'll have time for note things!

Well, I'm off to start another project! Here it goes!
