nicóle — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 02:40:15 +0000

We’re almost through February…A fact I’m still wrapping my mind around. This month has flown by. A few weeks ago I wrote about the February Photo A Day Challenge, and I wanted to share a few of my favorites so far. I’ve been a bit lax, in that I’ve not been photographing daily but [...]

Spring is nearly here and in South Florida it doesn’t mean the grass will be green once more, or flowers will be blooming. What it means is that vacationers will be flocking to our Sun and Sand and warm weather. It also means that many of us natives will be making our own plans [...]

Two Little Boys

nicóle — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:24:20 +0000

All this weekend I was trying (and failing) to write. It seemed any time I tried to sit down and write I was interrupted by a “Mom”, or some other equivalent.

How to Not Sabotage the Creative Process

nicóle — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:38:52 +0000

Don’t over plan-just start. Sometimes we can over plan and get lost in our plans, instead just get started, challenge yourself “sooner rather than later”.

Smaller is better. When we first come up with an idea they can loom large. Sometimes thinking big can inhibit the creative process because one [...]

Give Birth To Dancing Stars

Green Superhero Juice-Recipe

nicóle — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 23:05:52 +0000

I’ve begun juicing. After viewing the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead and reading several articles about the crap that’s in certain beverages my kids love to drink-and for the added health benefits of yours truly it was inevitable.
