Hey There!

About Me
I am Nicole Fergesen, mama to four, new Iowan and part time New Hampshire girl. I believe in Jesus, live on coffee, and love functional fashion. I also dabble in home design and relentlessly find beauty in everything. Wife to Dustin, widow of Marcus, blending a family and finding grace in the journey.

I WANT IN

Today’s a big day in the Fergesen household. It Today’s a big day in the Fergesen household. 
It’s the day @dfergesen and I first knew each other existed.

That sounds absolutely absurd to me! We’ve LIVED this year. It’s amazing that when it’s right, it’s just right. Right now I’m sitting here with a hand on my growing belly, feeling the kicks of our new baby, just totally in awe of all that’s happened this year. An engagement, cross country move, wedding, new house, new baby, and starting our home renovation. All in a year. It’s overwhelming how good God is!

This day last year, the world was beginning to shut down. And ours was about to warp speed in a new trajectory. 

I want to encourage you that whatever it is you’re in the wait for, keep holding on. God’s timing and plan is unexpected and absolutely perfect. Do not believe the lie that you’re too much, or your story is too much for someone to handle. Keep dreaming. Keep your eyes on Jesus and watch Him work. 

I implore you to be sensitive to how God working in your your life, without concern for what others might think. Do not make decisions based on what you think they would do if they were you. And remember that what is right for you may not be right for someone else. This is YOUR life, and God has a plan and a purpose! God has given us this life to enjoy, and to live it abundantly. 

How are you going to live today?

You woke up today. You, yes YOU, have a purpose. You woke up today. 
You, yes YOU, have a purpose. There’s a reason you’re here. There is a reason you have breath in your lungs and your heart continues to beat. No matter what you encounter today, know that God has a plan and you are a part of it. And when it feels hard, fight harder. Continue to discover that purpose and feel empowered in your life. Everything you need to succeed is already inside you, designed perfectly and given by God.

Keep breathing. Keep achieving that purpose. The world needs exactly who you were created to be. Believe it!

Work on the weekend surprise room makeover for E2 Work on the weekend surprise room makeover for E2 has begun! When we first got married Elliott and Eloise shared a room, but when we moved into our new house we gave Elliott her own space temporarily. Now that we are about four months out from baby, it is time to start on the nursery and get the two E’s back together! So to make the transition fun and exciting, we are surprising them for Elliott’s birthday with a whole room makeover 🤫🎉 we’re sharing the before (oh the paint 😫) and our plans in my stories if you want to follow along! Let’s see if we can pull it all off this weekend...

We heard the heartbeat again today 😍 there’s We heard the heartbeat again today 😍 there’s nothing more miraculous and humbling than the creation of life. It’s such a precious gift from God! I can’t believe we are almost halfway there... and we haven’t thought about a single thing to buy for the baby 😅 we need to get on that since we don’t have anything anymore! AND we find out the gender in two weeks 🎉 
I’m bad about sharing updates on my actual feed so I’m trying to get better about that 🤣 We are working on a secret super fast weekend bedroom makeover for the E2 room, so make sure you keep watch on my stories! And our bigger renovation projects start in about two weeks 😱 All the things!!

Life's so unpredictable And things might not be go Life's so unpredictable
And things might not be goin' my way
But it's gonna be a good day
Though things are goin' sideways
I got a smile on my face
And nothing's gonna bring me down
'Cause I know
Whatever happens, He knows
He'll never leave me alone 
I'll be okay
And it's gonna be a good day

Good Day by @strivetobe

We are dedicated to raising good humans in our hou We are dedicated to raising good humans in our house. That means lots of time devoted to explaining what it means to have good character and how to be intentional with our choices and thoughts. @crafting_character was so kind of gift us the Grateful Gobbler, one of many award winning character developing systems for children. I was pleasantly surprised at the kids’ excitement and attention to the stuffed animal, book, and activity prompts. We are a few days into our activity but I can see a difference in their perception already, changing their mindset to gratefulness for even the smallest things. That makes me so proud as a mom! It’s also been a good reminder for me to slow down and look for all the blessings in our lives. Sometimes things get so fast and hard we forget how good we really have it! I encourage you to check out all the character traits at @crafting_character and begin the process of instilling solid character in your children. Check out some of our behind the scenes in my stories 😆
