Pick Your Power(Balls!)

Thursday, July 11, 2013 by Nicole North Rodriguez

Summer is in full swing and so are summer camps! My son's preschool is offering various week-long programs and this year I'm helping out with a few of them. Last week was Cooking Camp, but seeing as the children were all two to five years old in age, and letting little ones play with fire or operate stoves is highly frowned upon by the authorities, our "cooking" involved a lot … [Read more...] about Pick Your Power(Balls!)

Soil Tilling, Soul Fulfilling

Nurture Your Soil, Nicole North Rodriguez, Three By Sea

I began my garden (creative biz) on a whim while on maternity leave with my son. I had little idea what I wanted to plant or what type of garden I was looking to create, just that I wanted to be home with my son and to plant lots of fun stuff. So I started a blog and an Etsy shop and I began "planting" things. Whatever struck my fancy- seashell crafts, sewing bits, upcycled … [Read more...] about Soil Tilling, Soul Fulfilling

Know Where to Go: Money Resources for Creative Entrepreneurs

Thursday, February 21, 2013 by Nicole North Rodriguez

Admittedly, I'm no expert on the topic of money or business building. I'm not rocking some widely successful business (yet), and in fact, I only just recently returned to the business of moving Three By Sea forward after a year and a half long hiatus. But here's what I do know so far: I'm not trying to work for free. Eventually I want Three By Sea to be a viable business, … [Read more...] about Know Where to Go: Money Resources for Creative Entrepreneurs

Project 300: Less Perfection, More Satisfaction

Thursday, January 17, 2013 by Nicole North Rodriguez

I am in awe of 365 Projects. Committing to doing one thing every single day for an entire year? WAY impressive. However, outside of basic grooming, eating, and tending to my kiddo, there is little else I'm in the mood for on a daily basis. Which is probably why my own attempts at 365 Projects failed to reach the December 31st goal line. And to be honest, once the streak was … [Read more...] about Project 300: Less Perfection, More Satisfaction

Take Note This Holiday Season: Christmas Me-Mo Cards

Thursday, December 6, 2012 by Nicole North Rodriguez

This is my son, Jack, sharing a laugh with Bob, last year's Christmas tree. Yes, he named the tree, and no, it never occurred to me to do so until Jack announced the tree's name was Bob. We also have Lil' Bob, the tabletop artificial tree. Original, right? Last night (as I'm writing this) we brought home this year's Christmas tree, which we'll be decorating this weekend. What … [Read more...] about Take Note This Holiday Season: Christmas Me-Mo Cards

Care/Carry/Cure an essay from ‘You Care Too Much’

In June of 2016 I supported my love Chris as we dealt with the death of both his parents and a co-worker over a three week period. This essay written the summer of those deaths is my attempt to make sense of grief and the struggle to carry all that I care for. Originally published […]
