Is there anything else left to say?

Hi there, I'm Nicole. I am a biological mom to two - a son and a daughter. I am step-mom to three daughters. Together we have five and are truly blessed.
I hope that my blended families experiences, research and other information I provide will be helpful. I also hope that you will share your own stories when it seems fit. Please feel free to grab a cup of coffee and stay awhile. I'm really glad you are here!
If you need to contact me for any reason, please email me at simplywriting (at) gmail (dot) com.

I can take thirty pictures at one time, and only find a handful that I love. I’m sure you know that feeling. But do you ever get a photo developed or uploaded and look at it, and it simply takes your breath away? For me, it’s this photo. She’s not even smiling. It’s not even very well composed. But I love it. It’s simply…..Her. All nine years of her.
Edited to add this second photo. This was the photograph I was aiming for. The cute smile, having fun. I got the camera ready and just snapped the other photo right as she got into place on the acrobat swing but before she was ready. I just love that look in the other one.
I love my blog because I can do what I want with it. And if I want to show off a great photo of my kiddo’s I can - and if I want to show the beauty of this time of year I can.
Take a look at this:
The tree in my background as it looks right at this very moment!
Simply breathtaking!

My son, Ryan.
I look at this and see a little boy, not a twelve year old!

My daughter, Brielle. She’s so full of life. I love the winter chill on her face and those rosy lips!

Mike’s daughter, Melissa. What a cutie and she looks amazing with that winter chill too!

Mike’s youngest daughter, Jessica! Cute, funny and almost too much energy to stop and let me take a photo!

These are the kiddo’s that are actually playing outside together!
