Hello and welcome!

I’m Nicole, and I think that the ordinary can be extraordinary, and this blog reflects that. I am the author of the novel Inhale Exhale which examines motherhood, aging, second chances, and the ups and downs of middle-aged romance. I hope you love it! 

After a lifetime in Calgary, I moved to Kelowna with my husband and two sons. In June 2022, we said goodbye to our beloved Barkley.

And after saying “never again,” in October 2022 we welcomed Rex into our family.

I am a yoga teacher, a mom, a former economist, an avid gardener, a cardio enthusiast, a lover of wine and books, and a person who tries to find joy and beauty in all things.

I also write about my Favourite Things, and those things are never sponsored, they are just things I love.

I think of my blog readers as friends, and I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to say. xo
