Juggling Work and Homemaking Through Highs and Lows

[@djb1164]

Hi fellow Nikki fans. Just a little tip. There are two words pronounced the same but spelled differently. Here's how I remember them: stationEry is pertaining to papEr; and stationAry is pertaining to things that stAy in place. ER for papER.... AR for stAy. I hope that helps. ♥

That’s brilliant, how did I get to be in my 50s and never remember 😂 thank you for sharing

[@brifren2]

I was a little confused too at first, as English is not my mother tongue, but then I was taught this similar little trick: remember stationEry like pEn, very helpful 🙂❤

I'll never forget how to spell it after my friend Jennifer L. Scott told me. It was a memorable moment for sure and I was so thankful for her correction. Thank you for this little bit 🎄

Hello Nikki, Yes, finding bits of time to read, listen to a book, and create is helpful; it’s our last 50 degree day in the foreseeable future since I did some gardening with my herbs; they will be covered with snow very soon.

Thank you to share your créative work with us. And also to say that we have low and high each month. I'm 51 and I can say that unfortunatly the lows are longer than the highs in perimenopause, but the simple fact to know that every woman cross these phases, well, it's easier to put into perspective. Keep important things to do and let go the rest for few days. I am working on that in my season of life

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, I've learned to just lean into them as they aren't going anywhere. I used to think there was something wrong with me but I now know, it's completely natural. Thank you for sharing this 🎄

[@julieroberson868]

This was quite helpful! Thank you! Love hearing about your creative process. You have already made my Christmas and my day so much better. Much love~

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I'm so glad! This made me smile 🎄

[@rachaelnuchols764]

Love that you and your daughters are so creative ❤❤

[@whitneybenge2052]

Your hair looks beautiful!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you 🎄

I enjoyed the video Nikki. The stationary you create is always so beautiful. When I saw the tour of your library in another video I was drooling. Oh to have all of those cabinets and shelves! It is great area for you to keep your supplies. You look so cozy with the shawl around you. We've been in a freeze after the snow on Thanksgiving. The trees have been white with snow and so beautiful. We had a couple of days/nights of the magnificent Hoar Frost. I hope you are able to experience that in Utah. Have a wonderful week. 💖

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

It's been lovely, thank you 🎄

[@pinkroses135]

The only thing I have to add is adjusting your home to be manageable when you're having those lows. One thing I've done is swap out dust collecting drapes for sheers. I can even handwash those instead of marching up and down the basement stairs for the washer and dryer. Just little things being rethought. Love the Christmas jazz 🎄❤

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, I completely agree, thank you for adding that! A broom just doesn't cut it for me anymore 🎄

[@pinkroses135]

Oh yeah that's another good one

[@krameymartin]

Just love your creative process Nikki, how you think through things, how you take the time to make things beautiful and have confidence in yourself and your style. It's so inspiring! \

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I'm so glad, thank you 🎄

[@brigidkeogh416]

Nice to see your work station Nikki.

[@omyb5340]

Love all your videos there so peaceful to me ❤

[@cambiumlayer1318]

Hi Nikki, That is a very functional work station set up!. Matching stationary is so pleasing to the eye. I look forward to your beautiful artwork. Your Hair looks fabulous and so healthy. I send love.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you so much 🎄

[@StacieBussey]

Your hair is beautiful! I love that color and shawl on you, you look ethereal. Thank you for sharing your process. When i was younger, I'm in my 60's, i forced myself to get everything done. Now, i do my housework commensurate with my energy level❤

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I’m so glad you like it, thank you. It makes a difference to work with the energy you have instead of fighting it🎄

[@catherineanderson4755]

[@charlotter5746]

Is there anywhere I can get the life book to print at home? It cost $88 to get here (NZ)

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, I will work on making that available in my Patreon "Shop". I'll announce when it is 🎄

[@charlotter5746]

@ Thank you so much Nikki!

[@LisaMarguijo]

The stationery is beautiful. Maybe the wifi was not working or connecting with your printer? Or maybe you're out of ink? I hope your printer works for you soon.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I needed to unplug it and plug back in. There is something I need to fix within the system I learned 🎄

[@lisjay8138]

Wow... just found your newest video here 😊. . I was just checking on my subscription... ( I have found in the past that I have been mysteriously unsubscribed, so I keep an eye on it 😁 )...

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Wonderful! Yes, I've been hearing that a lot recently. Also it's been saying I've been losing subscribers instead of gaining so maybe YT unsubscribes viewers, weird. I'm so glad you're here 🎄
