Hi! I’m Nichole!

I’m Nichole—wife, mama, homemaker, and the heart behind Hawthorn Homemaker. I live in a country area of the North Carolina coast. I raise chickens, ducks, and pigs there. I homeschool my son and cook from scratch. I also chase slow, Spirit-led living. I believe the everyday work of home is holy. It is worth savoring, whether I’m feeding animals, folding laundry, or sharing truth online.
