Dear Friend,

May I call you that? My name is Nichole. I am a mom. In my corner of the universe I am “The Mom.” Nope, this is not conceit at its finest, but rather a statement of fact. For my littles, it’s just me…the good, the bad, the chaotic. 

This blog has been a work in progress and ideas jotted on sticky notes for 11 years. Yep, over an entire decade. There have been many iterations and so many witty titles I can’t even begin share as they would make you laugh for DAYS. Most recently, in trying to think about what shapes my mom-life, I keep coming back to notes… notes from school, grocery lists, notes of gratitude, birthday cards, to do lists, love notes to my favorite humans, even notes taken while reading books. (Yes, I am the nerd who takes notes as she reads books.) 🙂  

Mostly this blog is a love note to my tiny humans. They are the ones I want to know these things about family, faith, fun, and all the strange and wonderful and often challenging things that make life so vibrant and special. This blog is a call to celebrate the small things and to learn to walk together through the big things. That is what I want for them. That is what I want for all of us.

And in classic style, I just spilled a cup of tea down my shirt while pondering life and the universe…

So, here is a spilled-cup-of-tea to my littles, life lessons, and all the the mamas who are THE MOM. Whether you are a mama of 2-leggeds, 4-leggeds, a spiritual mama to many, an amazing auntie, or all or none of these things…cheers to the ride that is to come.

Love,

Nichole
