Hi, I’m Nell Marie
I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a mama of three (now mostly grown!) boys, a long-time work-from-home woman, and the heart behind Pribbles — a cozy corner of the internet created to help young moms find answers, inspiration, and a little more peace in their motherhood journey.
I’ve been working from home since 2004, first as a virtual assistant and blogger, and later as a Customer Support Manager and Billing Manager for a large company. After nearly two decades of running online businesses and supporting others behind the scenes, I felt a tug in my heart to return to the work I love most: blogging and connecting with moms.
Why I Started Pribbles
In 2023, I found myself at a crossroads. I wanted to get back into blogging, but I wasn’t sure what niche to choose. As I thought back over my own motherhood journey, I kept returning to my favorite season: pregnancy through preschool. Those little years were full of challenges, yes — but also deep joy, growth, and tender moments I’ll treasure forever.
That reflection became the heartbeat of Pribbles. I created this site as a welcoming place for young moms to get their questions answered, discover helpful resources, and feel more confident (and less alone) as they navigate motherhood.
What You’ll Find Here
Pribbles is built to support you through one of the most transformative seasons of your life. Here, you’ll find:
- 🍼 Pregnancy & baby guides — practical, detailed resources to help you prepare and thrive
- 🧒 Toddler & preschool tips — from routines to activities and everything in between
- 🏡 Motherhood & home life support — ideas for creating cozy, organized, joy-filled spaces
- 💻 Work-from-home advice for moms — because I’ve lived that life since 2004
Every post is designed to equip, encourage, and bring a sense of calm to your busy, beautiful days.
Core Values at Pribbles
These are the values that shape everything I share:
- ✨ Encouragement over perfection — Motherhood doesn’t have to be picture-perfect to be meaningful.
- 🌿 Simplicity & intention — The little things done with love are often what matter most.
- 🤝 Authenticity & honesty — Real stories, real tips, no sugarcoating.
- 📚 Practical wisdom — Clear, helpful guides and advice you can actually use.
- 💛 Community & support — You’re never alone here.
A Few Milestones I’m Proud Of
When I restarted my blogging journey in 2023, I hit the ground running — and within a few months, I qualified for Journey by Mediavine, a major advertising network. Two years later, Pribbles continues to grow in traffic and reach, serving more readers every month through blog posts, newsletters, and Pinterest (where we reach over a million people monthly).
These milestones remind me daily that there’s a real need for honest, encouraging spaces for moms, and I’m so honored you’re part of that.
