About Nicole

Nicole's a born n' bred New Yorker, the oldest and least responsible of three sisters in an Italian-American household overrun with estrogen and garlic. Her own household, which she shares with a slick-talking Southerner, has considerably less estrogen but since her grandmother lives upstairs, just as much garlic. On one very lucky Thanksgiving day a few years ago, she birthed a skinny little boy with a strong chin and dreamy eyes. He was so dastardly and divine she decided to chronicle his adventures and began publishing essays and articles on parenting. Two years later, she popped out another baby, this one a girl with a natural faux-hawk and a crinkle-nose smile. Nicole is now a regular contributor to Parenting, American Baby, Pregnancy, Time Out NY Kids and Parents as well as the writer of the column, Dispatches from Babyville in the Park Slope Reader. You can follow her continuing adventures in Mommyland on her blog . A Mom Amok
