Hello.

Hi. I'm Nicole and this is my little corner of the interwebs.

This has been a tough week. The national news has been sad and my heart has been heavy. As I've struggled to understand the complicated nature of the issues facing this country, I've found myself missing something. An outlet.

I've considered starting a blog for years. I've started before and quit. I convince myself over and over again that I'm just a blog reader. Not a blogger. There's no place for me here.

But I have things to say. I'm at an interesting and exciting point in my life (married, baby, dogs...okay, maybe not so exciting?). Ultimately I want to have a place where I can share photos and have a record of this phase of life. And I'm a year into this whole motherhood thing and I'm missing a part of something I used to enjoy and be pretty okay at: writing. So two birds, one stone. You know?

Anyway. That's not the most exciting, intriguing or informative start to Casa COMO; I promise to be better.
