Nicole McInnes
Nicole is an ex-award-winning advertising creative turned corporate marketer, but that was before she found inner peace as an insane, I mean calm mother of two-boys-under-two. In fact rediscovering her love of writing is really the only thing keeping her from regularly stabbing herself with Cranky the Crane.
Since February she has written for publications including The Daily Telegraph, Sydney’s Child and In the Powder Room, in addition to the many enlightening over shares on her blog: MyIdealife. But most days you’ll find her refereeing head-butting competitions and avoiding housework so she can tweet addictively or instagram photos of the various disasters that inevitably occur.

From: They must pay for one’s bitter disappointments
Michael S says:
"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays. She became ''quite distressed'' when her English marks began to fall." I can sympathise.
