Happy Thanksgiving friends!! I spent yesterday morning giving back to the community with some truly amazing businesses & volunteers. I got to host my family for our feast & they were the biggest help with prepping food & making sure my house stayed CLEAN after we enjoyed our dinner 🙌🏼 I am exhausted for good reason & feeling very grateful for all I am blessed with during this season of life. I think my baked jalapeño mac & cheese will be one of our new traditions for dinner! What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes or traditions? Share with me in the comments! 😋🦃🍁🙏🏼

A long overdue introduction 👋🏼 I’m Nicki!

My career plans changed in 2021 after giving birth to my miracle girl, Gianna Kate. She gave us quite the shock after a seemingly normal pregnancy. She was a NICU warrior & was later diagnosed with 3M Syndrome, an extremely rare genetic condition with only 100 medically documented cases in the entire WORLD. Read more about Gianna’s birth story on my blog! Link in bio 🫶🏼

In order to best care for G, I decided not to go back into teaching so I could be with her full-time. I’m still a lacrosse coach to some really amazing kids! I love staying active & growing the sport in North Florida. You’ll even catch me wearing the 🦓 stripes as a referee!

Follow Your Hartz allows me to do a lot of my work from home until it’s time to bring your vision to life. I’m OBSESSED with the details & I truly believe that the little things in life are the most meaningful.

What sets FYH apart is the love I show for my clients, always going ABOVE + BEYOND to make them feel special & eliminating their planning stressors so they can celebrate & enjoy. I’m different from your typical coordinator & I recognize that I might not be the best fit for everyone. I will not book more than 2 weddings in a month because I genuinely pour so much into each wedding to best serve BOTH my clients & our vendor team 🙌🏼

If you want someone down to earth, understanding + patient, caring, trustworthy, fun-loving, insightful, creative, detail-oriented & practical— you’ve come to the right place! I’m here for you every step of the way— not just during “normal business hours.” We’ll likely be friends after working together & you’ll see just how important each event is to me!

Clients love that I’m reasonable, knowledgeable, transparent & organized. I’m also a bit of a goofball, so I enjoy making everyone smile. Let’s meet for coffee or margs & get this party started!! 🥰

Not only is Elle a total rockstar in all that she does as a wife & a mom of four littles, but she is also passionate about educating others to help families create their best birth experience. She is incredibly kind & puts the needs/wants of her clients first. If you have questions about all things childbirth + postpartum, Elle is your gal! I cannot recommend her enough to be by your side when you need someone the most 🫶🏼
