Mum's Intro

She’s back!  That would be my 25 year old daughter, Nicole.  Let me give you some background.  My husband, Peter and I (Nancy) have been married for 29 years.  We lived most of our lives in Massachusetts but have lived in Arizona for the past five years.  We have two daughters, Samantha, who is newly married to Stu, and Nicole, who is my “baby chick back in the nest”.  This is a blog to which Nicole and I will both contribute.  We have agreed NOT to read each other’s posting so as to give you a raw look at each of our viewpoints on the many adjustments we’ve already begun to make living back in the same house.  Nicole has really been out on her own since graduating high school in Massachusetts.  She moved to Arizona to go to college, or more honestly, to be with her sister, who was going to college in Arizona.  They moved in together and lived together for four years, until Samantha moved to Chicago.  When Nicole graduated from college, she moved to LA to try her hand in the fashion world.  After a year, not liking LA, she was contemplating where to move.  No, she didn’t move back to the nest at that point, instead she moved to Chicago, of course, to be near her sister.  She really finds comfort being near Samantha.   Six months ago, Samantha and Stu moved to California.  Not long after that, Nicole decided she didn’t want to live in Chicago any more either.  No, she didn’t follow Samantha to California this time instead she came home to live with her dad and I in Arizona.  She asked for my help and I'm going to give it to her, like it or not!  hahaha!  Thus the blog begins.
