About Nicole

Nicole is proud to be the founder and co-facilitator of this site.  She spent her high school years in Arizona entering essay contests for the ACLU and winning debates against classmates who underestimated her competitive nature.  Now, she's busy chasing a toddler, bouncing a newborn and sending long text messages to her husband who works too much. Currently in a gypsy phase of life, she's had the privilege of voting in Arizona, Michigan, Tennessee, and now South Carolina, though not at the same time. When she's not playing dollies or crossing chores off of her ever-present To Do list, she's writing at her personal blog, Sitting Still, or hunkered down in her bedroom reading a last week's New Yorker.
