So, you want to know more.

My name is Nicole and while I am a freelance writer, I am also the mom of five kids (a boy 15, a girl 15, a girl 13, a girl 12 and a girl 10). I absolutely love cooking but found it to be a real challenge with a few picky eaters. I have spent a great deal of time working on recipes, saving money on groceries and managing my kitchen. I am also a six year running Freezer Cooking Girl. I love it. If you don’t know what Freezer Cooking is, be sure and check out that section.

Besides being a freelance writer, I am also a consultant for Close to My Heart. I am an avid scrapbooker and if I’m not out spending time with the family, or not in the kitchen cooking or not on my laptop writing, I’m probably scrapbooking. It is probably what takes up most of my spare time (what’s that?).

I’m not only the mom of five human kids, but we have several furbabies as well. We have Shih-tzu’s – Max – a year and a half old and Maggie a year old. Plus Maggie blessed us with puppies about a year ago, and we kept two – Lily and Bella. And then we have a cat – pour Maple, she is surrounded by chaos!

Besides cooking, writing and scrapbooking, I also enjoy reading, music, movies, and home improvement projects.
