Meet Nicole!


Hi Guys! I’m Nicole! I'm the face behind My Rustic Retreat Lifestyle Blog & Shop.
I'm so glad you're here!! Just a tad bit about me: I'm the wife to my high school sweetheart & best friend, mother of 2, HR professional turned SAHM turned blogger. I love sharing all things home & life!! Although I often focus on home decor (mostly modern farmhouse-ish style but I love ALL styles), I also love chatting about fashion/beauty, family, and all things LIFE!! I love reading, traveling, laughing, and spreading happiness!! Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have fun!

And we’re out! ✌🏼✌🏼 Watch out España 🇪🇸, here we come! We have been looking forward to this trip for 2 YEARS NOW!! I CANNOT WAIT for my kids to spend time with their Great Grandma! 👵🏼👧🏼🧒🏼Anyone else getting outta town this summer??! Where to?? I’d love to know where you’ve been or where you’re headed!
It’s SHARK WEEK y’all!!! 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈 Do you guys watch it like we do every year?!? Or do you even know what I’m talking about?? 😂😂 If you’ve been following me for a minute you know I’m obsessed with Discovery Channel shows and all things animal world! Who remembers when we made these awesome shark cupcakes last summer?? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️
This is what we call “organized chaos” 😂😂😂😂. I’m actually so frustrated because I feel like this picture DOES NOT do this project justice!! In person it really tuned out SO GREAT! Every item is either in an acrylic bin, a wood bin, or a lazy susan so I can see literally EVERYTHING!!! It’s so AWESOME!! I’ll be linking everything I used in stories too ☺️.
Well it’s not a pantry post, but it worked out much better! See stories 😉. Now. Can you spot two things: 1) someone telling “Mommy! Can you see me in the photo?!” 2) His and hers relaxation tool this evening 😉.
Crossing stuff off our Summer Bucket List like ✅✅✅!!! 🎉🎉 We’ve had a productive few weeks over here! We’ve made s’mores, had sleepovers, been camping...and now we’ve made homemade ice cream and knocked out some long overdue tie dye projects! Swipe over to see the final product (and visit the blog for the before shots) #sponsored And thanks so our @walmart + Membership, I got us prepped for all the summer fun without even having to leave home! Between the free delivery from my local store ($35 minimum, restrictions apply) and the free shipping, no order minimum (excludes freight and Marketplace items) benefit I get through my membership, everything I needed showed up at my door and the fun for us never stopped! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Sweet Summer Tablescape complete!!! Who thought I was actually going to use so many bright and bold colors??? Be honest…y’all thought it was going to be all neutrals, didn’t you?! #ad Well surprise!! I couldn’t help it you guys! @Walmart has such an awesome selection of beautiful summer decor I just couldn’t resist! What do y’all think?? This tablescape was super easy to put together and even better than that, it’s all crazy affordable! I linked everything for y’all too through the @liketoknow.it app 🙌🏼🙌🏼.
Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it Superman? NO!!! It’s the solution to all your problems! Okay...well maybe not all your problems 😂😂😂...but it sure did solve a big design debate in this house!! 🙌🏼 I still got my living room chandy, and Matt got this friggin sweet, 6-speed, high-powered fan that he can move into any room that I refuse to install a ceiling fan in 😂😂. Seriously though, this Everdure Fan by @everdureusa has been a life saver! It’s so quiet, comes in lots of color options, looks great, and is light-weight enough that it can easily be moved from room to room or space to space (it’s already been out on the patio a few times this summer). Did I mention it comes with a remote control!??!? So basically you’ll find me outside, fan blowing through my hair, and drink in hand 🧉🍹 all summer long!
Blinds? Curtains? Shades? What would you do here? 🤔🤔🤔
