My
name is Nikki. I am an Area Manager for Moxie Moms in the Naperville Area. Read on to find out more about me... |
Why do I do it?
I have three boys, so I’m certainly not a “new” mom, but Moxie Moms has opened a new world to me. Until now, my time was spent being just a mom, without a lot of time for myself. With my oldest son being 7, my middle son 3, and my youngest 1, I feel like I might possibly have some insight to offer new moms. I’m done having kids and now its my time to enjoy being a mom, and getting some time for myself while I’m at it. Moxie Moms is giving me the opportunity to have somewhat of a “grown up” life while spending time with my kids! I also see the advantages of the organization after going through four corporate relocations in the past. What better way to meet new friends than through a group like this? I get to meet people who understand the fitness aspect of getting my body back and spend time with other moms!
My favorite activities with my kids are...
I absolutely LOVE watching my kids in sporting events! It doesn’t matter if it is football, soccer, hockey, baseball, t-ball, or even just having all three of them wrestling each other on the living room floor. The energy is bursting out of my house, so I love to do anything with the boys that will wear them out! I think I have 3 boys because I was meant to be the world’s oldest cheerleader! We go on bike rides and our latest love is family video game night.
My mommy strategy . . .
Oh my goodness, it just depends on the day! I have to make sure I spend some time with each of the boys so they all feel equally important. I have been known to say, “Mommy needs a time out”. Having three can be overwhelming so sometimes its just important to breathe and remember they’re just kids! Here’s a little tip, if all else fails put them in the bathtub and let them play!.
Before I was a mom . . .
I worked for several years as a corporate recruiter and also recruited for a chiropractic college in Kansas City. I graduated from Central Missouri State University with a degree in Public Relations and Political Science and grew up in Iowa. I’ve lived in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, California, and Illinois, so I never feel like my feet are planted!

Nikki
