    You are reading posts from a gal named Nicole. Though her name may be fairly common, she is anything but ordinary. This particular Nicole is a wife and a momma to two little gals; two roles she is continually learning and growing in. She has a hodgepodge of interests that spark a little something in her; including but not limited to, (and in no particular order) : writing, cooking, driving, reading, breathing fresh air in the great outdoors, coffee, lake time, photography, and cross-country skiing. She believes we are all uniquely created with our own stories, passions, experiences, failures + love. Let's learn how to prune and blossom, together!

    “Conflict is important.” She said. Well you know what Jennie, I 100% agree with you!! The hard stuff, the long winter, the dormant (alive but not actively growing) parts of life are so important!! The ugly parts of us we desperately work on shedding, the words we keep saying and instantly regretting, the insane thoughts we think that we know are rude or hateful are all important. They remind us what we want to grow away from. Or at least they should be teaching us. Teaching us to sympathize, to be more compassionate, to humble ourselves often. May we grow + love well, friends. . . . . . . #pruneandblossom #lovewell #rootwell #growwell #bewell #loveotherswell #progressnotperfection #genuineliving #liveauthentic #positivementalhealth #positivementality #smileitscontagious #bekindtooneanother #happyheart #bethebestversionofyou #liveyourbestlife #flashesofdelight #growthmindset #growthmentality #personaldevelopment #livesimple #intentionalliving #betterself #betteryourself #writersofinstagram #minimalliving #becausecommunity #communityovercompetition

    What are your biggest dreams/desires? What’s holding you back? What’s keeping the fire stoked? • • • Lately one of my dreams has constantly been on my mind. The little spare time I have is spent researching, posting to a secret Pinterest board, praying about it, and envisioning what it becoming a reality would truly look like. . . . . . . #pruneandblossom #lovewell #rootwell #growwell #bewell #loveotherswell #progressnotperfection #genuineliving #liveauthentic #positivementalhealth #positivementality #smileitscontagious #bekindtooneanother #happyheart #bethebestversionofyou #liveyourbestlife #flashesofdelight #growthmindset #growthmentality #personaldevelopment #livesimple #intentionalliving #betterself #betteryourself #writersofinstagram #minimalliving #becausecommunity #communityovercompetition
    13 years between these pictures. That picture on the left is the first photo Zach and I ever took together...on a disposable Kodak that I had to take to Safeway to get developed! We were at a summer camp on Dickey Lake sitting on a porch swing..he asked if I would be his girlfriend and I’ve never felt more giddy in my whole life. The next morning Melody took my all-time favorite photo of us slurping cereal. The photo on the right is at our friends wedding this past summer. 13 years almost to the day. So much life in-between these photos. I’m saving the 10 year photos because 2019 is a monumental year for us as I turn 30 and we’ll celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary!!
    “Dreams elevate us beyond the mundane. They enrich our future with possibility. To dream together adds an element of wonder to our relationships and gives us something to look forward to. We dream of tomorrow’s successes, of the children we desire, of the recognition we need, the travel we plan, of monetary security we hope for. We dream of peace, of pleasure, of joy. We must be careful, though, that we do not become so attached to these dreams that when they fail to materialize they shatter our belief in life.” Leo Buscaglia . . . . . . #pruneandblossom #lovewell #rootwell #growwell #bewell #loveotherswell #progressnotperfection #genuineliving #liveauthentic #bekindtooneanother #kindwords #happyheart #bethebestversionofyou #liveyourbestlife #flashesofdelight #growthmindset #growthmentality #personaldevelopment #livesimple #intentionalliving #betterself #betteryourself #becausecommunity #communityovercompetition #lifelivedbeautifully #momentsofmine #relationshipadvice #dreamtogether
    Today, while reading a book about parenting, a sentence practically jumped off the page, “Be careful to always pay attention to the content and character of your heart.” My focus this year is ‘heart cleanse.’ I wrote a blog quite a few years ago titled this and heavily feel called to pay attention to it big time this year! • What are you focusing on this year? . . . . . . #pruneandblossom #lovewell #rootwell #growwell #bewell #loveotherswell #progressnotperfection #genuineliving #liveauthentic #positivementalhealth #positivementality #smileitscontagious #bekindtooneanother #happyheart #bethebestversionofyou #liveyourbestlife #flashesofdelight #growthmindset #growthmentality #personaldevelopment #livesimple #intentionalliving #betterself #betteryourself #writersofinstagram #minimalliving #becausecommunity #communityovercompetition
