I am super excited to be contributing to mamalode, a magazine and website for the whole mother. As in women who seek a whole life and holy moly, the whole mother (in case you didn’t pick up on that clever double entendre.)
It’s quite different from the cheesy parenting zines out there. No how-tos. No judgement. Elke Govertsen, the creator who appropriately calls herself the magazine’s curator, says we don’t lean left or right, just on each other. I am so honored to be writing and photographing alongside Missoula women who are inspiring, creative, passionate and accomplished. Lucky me.

So, my first essay:
Father’s Day started with an early trip to the grocery store, my 18 month-old in her pjs, to fetch items for the papa-requested breakfast burritos. Actually the day had officially started an hour prior when the three of us, plus three furry mammals whose collective body mass competed with ours in the small bed, spooned and giggled our way into Sunday…click here to read the rest…

Great article. Thanks for sharing. I love the visual; even without the photo I could see it.
The pee image is so hilarious. These littles are so perceptive and spongelike when it comes to us mamas . . . so much wisdom from them! xo
i’m out the door but had to stop and read it and…oh, girl you KNOW i love it. xoxo so proud of you, my friend.
Your article makes me burst with pride, such a gift your writing is Burb……I have a vivid visual of the whole crazy cooking, bath, naked, running, Alice, flour, wooden floor and pee scene!! You are so right, it is the simple stuff.
AND sweet Margot you are the center of it all.
xoxo, Mom/Gram
Great essay, Nici. You’re writing is always a treat~and your pics are treasure.

Although I have no children (of whom I am aware anyway) your article totally rocked. I realize that I am somewhat prejudiced by knowing and being incredibly fond of all the characters in the story but still…
I think it is great! Thank you for sharing… shutting the computer down for the night.. smiling.
Great essay. Loved reading it and your blog. So excited that mamalode web is up and running.
What a perfectly captured family moment. I love it.
Your article is great. I love seeing the moments happening before my eyes, because your writing totally takes me there. But what I love most, is how you are such a real, down to earth person, with an enlightened aura surrounding you. You are not condescending at all, and totally relatable, and well… I wish I was there with you, because surely I would too be blessed by your aura. So thanks, it is fantastic, and really excited for you and this new writing gig…
Thanks so so much for all of your support! It means a ton to me, seriously. And, Sage, yours maybe one of the most heartwarming comments I have ever received…made my day. Thank you.
Ya! Tears welling up…I meant every word and I honestly think you are one of the most remarkable people I have every met, er blog met that is!
BEAUTIFUL.
Congrats! Looks good!
Wow, you hit it. Lovely.
you definitively have a knack for finding the beauty … and in the process helping others see things in a different light as well. i loved the essay. can’t wait to see more.
Read your article…loved it…and the amazing thing is that even kids your age, Nici, provide those amazing moments for their parents. Yup. It’s true. Your mom and dad feel the same way when they watch YOU, watching Margot.
You are a fantastic descriptive writer, Nici. Your words make me pine for motherhood. This magazine really epitomizes all of the truly amazing and beautiful women that surround us in this little mountain valley. Bravo!
You are so right big sis!
