5 things Nicole can’t live without

1. Family.

Rob and I met on the rugby pitch 7 years ago and the rest was history. This past year we welcomed our daughter Brynlee to the world and life has never been so sweet. They have taught me about a kind of love that I didn't even know existed.

2. Fur-Kids.

Our cat Koopa (aka King Koopa...from Super Mario Bros) and dog Gus. Want to prepare yourself for babies? Let me introduce you to Gus the Vizsla. My daughter is a walk in the park compared to what Gus put me through in his puppy phase!! Even though they may be a huge pain in the butt most days, we really couldn't imagine life without their love and affection.

3. Cell Phone.

This is sad. However the cell phone has finally replaced the old school planner I use to carry around everywhere. It has become my one stop shop to everything I need on a daily basis. An organizer, an alarm clock, a camera, an iPod, a payment method, a way to communicate, etc. EVERYTHING. That being said, my goal is to ensure I take time daily to unplug!

4. Vacation.

There is nothing I appreciate more than a little time away from the business of LIFE. It doesn't have to be anything extravagant, but I love having time away with my family UNPLUGGED and enjoying each other's company.

5. Food.

I love food. Specifically pizza. I actually think the term "HANGRY" was made for me. Want to know why I'm always so bubbly when you see me? BECAUSE I EAT!
