Welcome to Nicole Is… A Jane of All Trades

Life is richer when it’s handmade, homegrown, and full of meaning. At NicoleIs.com, we celebrate the joy of creating, cooking, gifting, and living with intention. Curated by Nicole Shillings—a true Jane of all trades—this lifestyle blog is a warm and vibrant corner of the internet dedicated to doing more with less, and doing it with love.

Whether you’re searching for an Instant Pot recipe that actually works, ideas for your next backyard BBQ, a thoughtful gift for your best friend (or your dog), or eco-friendly tips for a more sustainable home—Nicole’s got you covered.

With a Southern voice full of charm and candor, Nicole shares not just what she does, but why she does it. Every blog post is infused with:

  • Practical creativity: Easy DIY projects and crafts that don’t require a degree in design
  • Flavorful food: From fermented pickles to surprise birthday pies
  • Gift-giving magic: Personalized, frugal finds that show people (and pets) you care
  • Sustainable living: Reuse, repurpose, and rethink the everyday

Nicole believes the best things in life come from the heart—and sometimes from the pantry. Whether you’re a busy parent, an aspiring gifter, a home cook, or just someone looking for a little inspiration, Nicole Is… your go-to guide for meaningful, memorable living.

So stay awhile. Explore the archives. Try a new recipe. Craft a little something. Or simply read along with a cup of tea in hand.
