Nicole

Nicole never expected to live in the South, let alone on the coast, and still finds herself surprised to see the sailboats in the harbor and the surfboard in her laundry room. She's convinced that Charleston is one of the most charming cities in America, and spends her days exploring all it has to offer with her preschool daughter, infant son, and favorite camera in tow. A careful mix of bohemian and belle, Nicole likes to alternate between yoga and seaside strolls, vegan cookies and pecan pie, organic reds and mint juleps. After the rest of the family goes to bed, she stays up far too late narrating her life at her personal site, Sitting Still, and contributing (admittedly liberal) political viewpoints to The Soccer Mom Vote.

Nicole also blogs at (http://sittingstill.typepad.com).
