Profile Information

What is your blog name?: Nicole Abbott

What is your blog URL?: http://www.nicoleabbott.com

Share a little something about yourself with other moms.: Mommy to a happy baby girl. Consider my life 100% cooler now that we have our baby. Fun, friendly, a little naive, mothering and hard working. Just graduated from Columbia University after what seems like a million years!

I have been blogging since...: 06/08/2009

My babysitter is quiting in September!!!! (from my blog)

I have a wonderful older woman who takes care of Sophia when I am @ work and neither my mother or my husband can do it. She give me peace of mind. I can go off to work and do not even have to worry about calling because I know she is well taken care of. In the mornings Sophia just waves goodbye @ the door like I am just going to take the trash out!

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS ATTACHMENT THING I READ SO MUCH ABOUT???

Last week, Tia Maria (Aunt Maria), as we call her, gives me the WONDERFUL (insert sarcasm here) news that she will be moving to her country of origin at the end of September! WHAT?!?! I lost it! I offered her more money, I told her she couldn't leave until Sophia was 2 years old, I told her she could move in with me (even though I don't have the space I am willing to give up my side of the bed if necessary, my hubby will just have to adjust!).

Unfortunately, sharing a bed with my hubby was not an attractive enough offer to get her to change her mind! Today, she suggested I start my own business. Well that's what I am trying to do but that is not going to happen over night and I need her!

Am I supposed to take this as a sign that I should be putting more effort into my home business? Is the Universe conspiring to make it happen for me even faster than I had planned? Do you believe in fate?

Stand Your Ground: Maternity Leave 101

Posted on August 27, 2009 at 2:44pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

The pregnancy test reads positive and we all, or at least most, jump for joy with excitement and anticipation of the journey we are about to embark upon until we are reminded of… Maternity Leave.

The appropriate time to share your pregnancy with your employer varies depending on your situation and your personal preference. I had been working at a small office for about for years and considered my coworkers to be friends so I shared the news right away. However, when the time came to… Continue

So please ... come on over and see me some time. Hope you're enjoying your weekend.

At 1:47pm on November 25, 2009, Margaret Bochy said…: Sophia, I will definitely try the font method you suggested. With the sidebar issue, I have tried putting the bigger ones where you suggested and all it takes is one widget, even a 125x250 and everything else below it goes haywire. I had my designer check it out and she said delete the larger widget. Well, I had to temporarily but I am not happy. I don't understand. Like I said I have seen other Blogger blogs with larger widgets in the sidebar.

At 9:49am on November 25, 2009, Jen Lawrence said…: Thanks for responding to my comment in the Blog Design Group.
I'd really just like a magazine layout. I think it would a little better because even though the content on the blog is personal, I have an ocassional business post and my Artfire Studio will always be there. It's a business/ personal blog. I have some examples of layouts I like.
http://www.takingtimeformommy.blogspot.com I have a two column blog and I want to keep it that way , but I like the look of this blog.

Also www.bietemplates.com page (4) Marikit Template I like it.
www.bloggerica.com Arthemia Template I like also.
www.diythemes.com but, they are for wordpress and I'm on blogger. I'm looking for a similar look. I haven't found the perfect template but, I definitely want a magazine layout. Hope I make sense. I'll keep searching. I'd also like to keep my graphics. I just want the layout to change. I also would like to add a few more navigation buttons.
What are your thoughts? Thanks, Jen

At 9:46am on November 25, 2009, Margaret Bochy said…: Hi Sophia. Hope you can help!!The problems are: font style and size. No matter how many times I try to change the style or size when I'm writing a post, it always goes back to what you see. Since this has been only since my redesign, I told my designer about it but she wasn't able to fix it.Plus, I see a lot of Blogger blogs with different fonts than what is even available on Blogger, wish I knew how they did that! The second issue- the sidebar width. If I place anything bigger than 125x125 uner the ad section,(even if it's in that section) it throws everything below that under the posts. I am going crazy. My designer said I just need to delete but than again, there are other Blogger blogs with larger stuff in the sidebar. Do you have any clue on these problems!! Thanks! I know this was kinda long!!!! I am losing out sharing things with my readers because of this.
