About

Hello and welcome to my blog, thanks for stopping by.  My name is Nickida, the founder and author of Nicki’s Random Musings.  I am happily married and a mother of four amazing children.  I’ve been blogging for almost thirteen years.  My first blog was about becoming a better wife, I shared about my journey to being a Submissive & Praying Wife, then I started blogging about various topics ranging from ways to find free items online, online games, baby freebies, and couponing.  In 2012 I started blogging more frequently than in the past, first doing mainly my Wordless Wednesday and Tuesday 10 posts since then my blog has evolved and grown to include much more than random musings of family life.

Before becoming a Stay At Home Mom I worked in college admissions, financial aid, and student support services.  I left the workforce shortly after the birth of my first child.  I love baking and practice as much as I can to improve my skills. I am always looking for new baking-related products to try, I also like cooking new dishes from different cultures and sharing them.  I love reading, listening to music, and watching movies.  I love shopping and saving money with coupons and finding great deals that I share with others.

Want your product featured on my blog in a review, highlight, or giveaway?  Contact me at [email protected].  I also work with companies on sponsored posts and advertising on my blog.  I am located in Baltimore, MD so I can attend events in the area, other parts of Maryland, D.C, Philly, NYC, and other surrounding areas.  Please see my PR Page to learn more about my policies and interests.

My Family(Team)

My hubby: The Oklahoma Gentleman – Hubby has mainly worked in higher education but most recently worked in secondary education in both middle and high schools. He’s served as an advisor to student groups and also does some public speaking on leadership and fashion.  He’s a Hip Hop fanatic, Die Hard OU Sooners Football Fan, and a style and fashion guy.  He sometimes blogs at The Oklahoma Gentleman about fashion, sports, music, leadership, and more.

Kennedi: The princess and only girl in the bunch.  She loves reading and is always looking for a new book so if you have books to review she would love to read them.  She loves young girls fashion, Lipgloss and nail polish, technology, snacks, shoes, and trying all kinds of headphones. She aspires to be a doctor and traveling all over.  She’s the best sissy and we love our little princess.

The Young Prince: Trey is the oldest of our three boys.  He’s like any regular boy that loves his mom and siblings.  He loves making friends and enjoys watching Anime shows on television. He’s a big fan of TMNT, Spiderman, Nurato, Teen Titans, and all kinds of super hero movies, cartoons and more. He likes watching videos on Youtube and creating his own videos to share on his Instagram about things he loves. He wants to be a Firefighter or Police Officer when he grows up and he likes to travel, play with his toys and hang with his dad.

The Middle Man: JB is our very special middle son.  I’ve written about him the most on my blog and the most important one is my post Waiting and Wishing For Words.  It’s a very touching piece, one that was both hard and definitely necessary to write.  He’s our adventurous boy, he knows no danger and there’s trouble to get into he will find it for sure.  He loves to climb on any and everything, make messes, jumps around, dance, play on the iPad and he’s a foodie.  He loves trying new foods and the least picky about what he eats of all our kids.  Even though his adventures scares me at times, he always finds a way to melt my heart.  Our lives were changed when JB was diagnosed with Autism.  I’ve since started writing about our lives and JB’s journey along with a host of other Autism content. JB loves the alphabet and numbers. I’m always looking for sensory-friendly products to share and review on my blog in relation to JB. I have also written several Autism travel-related content because of JB and plan to write a lot more content.

The Young Guy: Mase is the youngest one of all the kids. He’s into everything that Trey likes and a big fan of The Flash. He loves to dance, sing, play with cousins, and have lots of fun on his tablet. Mase enjoys reading, drawing, coloring, wathicng movies, traveling, and swiming. Mase loves playing with toys and sharing about them with friends. He’s always looking for toys to share with others.
