Hello, I'm Nicole, an engineer by degree but a creative at heart! I am the author of this family, lifestyle blog.
Before I’d even asked I knew that Maddie wanted to be a princess for Halloween this year. She’s been calling herself a princess ever since we bought this pink dress and we’ve had many an argument about her being able…
On Friday, Lindsay, who blogs over at Dealing with the “A” Word, hosted an intimate surprise birthday get together for one of our sweetest friends, Jamila. We haven’t hung out as a group since I hosted a last minute super…
