Hello!

I’m Nicole, wife to my prom date and mom to our two nearly-grown girls. This space is my next creative project and I’m so grateful you’re here!

One day I looked up and realized I qualified for “midlife” status. I can’t explain how that happened, other than maybe…time flies when you’re having fun?!

I have a lot of thoughts about this midlife season, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to process them through writing. Sometimes it’ll be emotional. Other times it’ll be hilarious. Bonus points if I can find a way to combine the two.

More Details:

  • I’m a former elementary teacher. I left the classroom to follow God’s gentle nudge to pursue writing full time. Soon after, we had a global pandemic. That was a creative plot twist.

  • I miss the old-school blogging of 2007, where I wrote about everything and nothing at the same time. Where the comment section felt like friends chatting over coffee, and algorithms and SEO weren’t part of my vocabulary.

  • I fully intend to use this space to go right back there again.

Please share if you think someone else might enojoy reading along!
