About Me
My name is Nikki Purdue (yes, I’ve heard all of the Purdue/IU jokes!) and I’m the story teller behind most of the craziness here.
For more than a decade I have been a Special Education Teacher at the elementary level with a focus on moderate to severe disabilities. I continue to do this today because I truly love being able to help my students succeed. It is my passion and I can’t imagine ever really walking away.
A few years ago I started a direct marketing business with Rodan+Fields. While I’ll admit I’m not the most successful direct sales consultant it has opened a lot of doors for me. I have met some AMAZING women, found life coaching and started this blog!
My husband and I made residence in suburbia Indianapolis, Indiana and have three littles that we call our own: Delaney (2009), Hudson (2011) and Monroe (2014). We generally keep a brood of pets as well (currently two dogs, two cats and a silly little fish).
I’m sure you will uncover a lot more about me as I spill everything into this blog.
If you still have questions maybe these fun facts will help:
- I’ve been to Europe three times, Canada once and Mexico twice
- I’ve had 15 different cats as pets in my lifetime (that seems excessive as I type this)
- I have a HUGE crush on Matthew McConaughey (sorry Troy)
- I love old cars and promised Hudson I would get him a vintage Camaro when he turned 16
- My favorite period of time was the 50’s and 60’s even though I never took a single breath in those decades
- If I could live someone’s life it would be Baby from Dirty Dancing (just don’t put me in the corner)
- Dancing while cooking is one of my go-to stress relievers
- When I travel I’m interested in the history of the area as much as the current offerings
- My favorite place to go is Disney World and I don’t plan to stop going even when my kids are older
- My birthday lasts for a week because why not?
- I lose things ALL OF THE TIME….has anyone seen my insert lost item here
