Hey, new friend! It’s so nice to meet you!
I’m Nikki!
I’m a homeschool mom, entrepreneur, and self-taught musician passionate about helping other moms balance homeschooling while working from home.
I launched Nikki Blogs in 2018 after discovering that I could earn a full-time income with social media and blogging instead of spending long days working on a film set.
After a decade of juggling university studies and working in the film industry, I couldn’t imagine going back after my daughter was born!
As she grew older, I loved watching her learn and providing her with fun resources and experiences to help her explore and discover even more – an education built around to her interests and strengths.
Homeschooling was the perfect fit for us!
How We Started Homeschooling
I met several homeschoolers when I worked in the film industry – truly some of the most interesting people I’ve ever come across!
This really opened my eyes to the unique self-confidence and creativity that’s possible when children grow up embracing and developing their God-given strengths and skills.
Having completed our own K-12 educations in the private and public school systems, my husband and I knew we wanted something different for our kids!
We both love learning today but didn’t grow in this love until later on in life when we had the opportunity to pursue the things that interest us – topics that aren’t usually at the forefront of a traditional pre-college education.
Our goal is to establish a lifelong love of learning for our children!
My Educational Background
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in History and Criminology from Simon Fraser University that I completed primarily through distance education.
I was blown away when I discovered that I could finish my readings and assignments in half the time I’d normally spend attending 3 to 6 hours of university lectures a day.
I could even get them done while working on set or travelling – my husband and I actually spent back to back summers in Europe while I completed my studies!
Looking back, it’s amazing to see how just similar our homeschooling experience has been to my experience with distance education – if you’re self-motivated and have a love of learning, sharing that love through teaching comes naturally!
Near the end of my second degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, I withdrew due to difficulties with my pregnancy. I planned on going to medical school once I finished but God had a better plan for my life – one that I’m so grateful for every single day!
I started my first blog at this time and things moved quickly after that!
In 2019, I was honored to be named a Top 30 Vancouver Mom Blogger and now I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned about growing an online business along the way with you!
