Once upon a time, author Angela Nickerson jetted off to Europe every few months -- writing about her jaunts and escorting small groups of travelers through the bustling streets and glorious museums of Europe’s best destinations. But then Motherhood happened, and with a two-career family, the far-flung travels became less frequent.

Now a Colorado resident, Angela started Mid Modern Mama as a creative space with a wider scope. She writes about travel for sure, but she is currently focused on dragging their newly-purchased 1958 Atomic Ranch home into the 21st century. The 80’s threw up all over this Mid Modern gem, but Angela and her architect husband are determined to restore its original charm and character always remembering that theirs is a family home, not a museum piece.

Angela still loves to travel, but this Mid Modern Mama is also writing about what’s happening when she is at home, too. From home improvement projects to new modes of journaling, photography, sewing, and organizing, Mid Modern Mama reflects the fullness of a creative life.
