There are almost 1.3 million children in Minnesota between the ages of 0 and 17. I did some quick math and went with some very middle-of-the-road numbers, and assuming every family had three of those children, that leaves us with 433,000 parents – each one searching day in and day out for some way to entertain, exhaust and maintain living status of their adorably challenging kin. And I want to mak
e your life easier. My name is Nicki and I’m a mid-30s mother of two. My husband is fan-freaking-tastic and works hard as a computer dude so I can spend time three days a week playing hard with our kiddos. I work at a desk job as an Art Director the other two days and I do have a passion for that as well. I’ve lived in the Twin Cities area (from Roseville to Oakdale to St. Louis Park) for more than a decade and now have a two and five-year old to keep busy. So, what can I do to help you? I want to save you the time of typing and searching through Google and give you ONE landing dock for multitudes of entertaining ideas for you and your children to gain some quality time together, creating memories with your littles. I want your kid to have a reason to go to school the next day and tell his friends, “My mom was so cool yesterday cuz she took me to …. and ate at ….!” And if you’re lucky, he’ll finish his sentence with, “I sure do love her.”
I also want your contributions. I’m open to additional ideas, and even additional writers. I want dads and nannies and teachers and babysitters. I want this to be a collaborative and realistic effort that will actually benefit our readers and I will do everything in my power to help make that happen on MinneMama Adventures.
