When You’re First Impression Contains the Word “VAG”!

I went to BlogU this weekend, one of my most favorite weekends of the year because I get to go hang out with other writers and bloggers who are off the chart weird like me. It’s pretty fucking awesome. During check-in, however, something embarrassing and downright hilarious happened that I’m going to try to tell you without crying laughing tears. I had just had lunch with several of the women chec... Read More »

Why I Love to Workout | WIRL Project

Why I Love to Workout

This topic is near and dear to me. As a kid I was never an athlete. Didn’t like team sports. Couldn’t run, jump or catch. Finally in my 20’s I started working out like Jane Fonda. Aerobic classes were much more my style. I was modeling at the time and knew if I was to continue doing swimsuit work I’d better find something to keep the “bottom line” in place! As t...

What It’s Really Like to Have an Identical Twin – and Finding out at Age 33!

Ok yes, I knew I was a twin my whole life, but for the first 33 years, we were told we were fraternal.   First question EVERYBODY asks when I mention that I have a twin sister is – Are you identical or fraternal? My response was always that we are fraternal, but look VERY similar! We were always told that my mother had fraternal twin girls because we each had our own sac in utero. Every frat... Read More »

Little Does She Know

Sibling relationships are truly extraordinary.  There isn’t anything in this world that I would not do for my siblings, but I have a special bond with one very close in age. She’s only eleven months and two days, and six hours older than me.  (but whose keeping track? ) Kennady is my best friend.  She is there for me when I need her most,  She’s there for me when I need to be pun...

I Just Want To Nest!!

I Just Want To Nest!!

With a toddler to care for all day and another baby on the way, there is not much time to think about how different life will be once the newest member of our family is here.   However, the one thing that I can’t help but focus on is how much I need to organize before said new family member arrives.  The problem with this is my inability to “nest” the way every pregnant woman wants to.  The reason...

W.I.R.L. To Come From An Abusive Childhood… Growing as an Adult

Hi all! I’m Nicole. I’ve contemplated for days and weeks just how I would write my story. I’ve felt guilty and convinced myself how wrong it could be telling the world about the ugly life I lived. It wasn’t until today, that I realized my story may help someone, including myself, as I begin my long journey of letting go. I hope you can too. I wasn’t even sure how I wo... Read More »
