Studio 22

Watermelon and baseball games and road trips. Summer with a baby is seriously the best. On the blog this morning, all the things to do with a baby in the heat of summer. No hiding indoors allowed. Link is ze profile. Warning, you may be hungry after your read...

Ok listen, I realize that I take a lot of photos of the inside of my purse. But here's why: I'm so freaking proud of what's in there. My wallet reminds me that I'm in charge of my own income. I earn what I want. When I want. That bottle? Ya, I'm a mom. And it's the freaking coolest job ever. I need a washcloth, because well, I'm terribly messy. A hairbrush doubles as a tool and a baby toy. Stray Cheerios, more planners than necessary, old receipts and my car keys are all things that spark enthusiasm and gratitude. The inside of my purse is a small glimpse into life as an incredibly thankful, busy, disheveled, Type A mompreneur. Not sorry about it at all.

Studio 22 and CES are opening up our collaborative studio space in the heart of Chico to fellow creatives who are looking for a place to call "work". We have found that sharing a space has lead to amazing synergy and growth in our businesses, independently and together. While we own and operate our own businesses, being able to share the experience day to day and along the way, has been a great joy that we want to offer other business owners. Interested?

Today, The Yellow Co. shared Studio 22's story. I'm so honored to not only be a part of this fantastic #bloomyellow tribe over the last few months, but that these ladies have embraced businesses like mine and embraced our vulnerability as we share our stories. Take a read folks - Studio 22 was born out of literal blood, sweat and tears and I'm so excited to share it with you today.

Morning essentials. Does anybody else use their Sundays to prep for the upcoming week? I do my best to grocery shop and meal prep, fill in my calendar and to-do list, and set my weekly goals. Tell me what your weekly planning looks like! I want to know

There are so many new friends 'round these parts, so I'm going full blown #fridayintroductions in here! I'm Nicole, lover of honey lattes, bold language and delightful company. Also founder of a few companies, but that's not nearly as fun to talk about. I'm a mom, entrepreneur, wife, daughter, sister and child of God. Graphic designer by trade but wordsmith and storyteller at heart. I believe in sunglasses, telling the truth and really high expectations. Give me a glass of ...red wine and a picked through fridge and I'll cook you a feast. Finally, I like unfiltered dinner table conversations that last until midnight and enticing my son to learn to walk using the TV remote. That's the gist. Anyone down for a wine date?
