About Nicole
Hi, I’m Nicole.
I’m a mom of three daughters (with a fourth child on the way), an Army veteran with 12 years of service and three overseas deployments, and a former English and Communications professor.
These days, I’m living in Japan and spending my time exploring what it means to build a thoughtful life in a busy season of motherhood.
I’m interested in systems, learning, creativity, books, fitness, personal growth, and the small decisions that shape our lives over time. Recently, that has also included learning game development and documenting the process of building cozy games during nap times and quiet moments.
This site is where I share what I’m learning—through writing, experiments, projects, and the occasional rabbit hole.
You’ll find reflections on motherhood, simplicity, productivity, reading, creativity, game development, and the ongoing challenge of creating a life that feels both meaningful and sustainable.
I write to learn, to explore, to create, and to connect with people who are asking similar questions.
