About Me

Hi there…I'm Nikki.  I'm fifty-two years-old and I've been married to my husband, Mike, for thirty-one years.  Mike is the Property Manager for a private residence on Lake Charlevoix. And me...I'm a writer and a podcaster and mom to the Lou-Crew; Mason (27), Ellie (24), Mabel (20), and Bram (20).  Most days I'm just trying to figure it all out as best I can.  Oh yeah…and I also have don't have Parkinson's Disease.  Yep...you read that right. Stick around and I'll fill you in on that story. It's a pretty good one. Grab a cup of coffee or cocoa or a glass of wine…no judgment here…and join me on this journey.  Buckle up.  It tends to get a little bumpy.
