Hi! I'm Nicole McGregor. A former Television Journalist. A current Mommy/wife/Christian/decorator/remodeler/Realtor/Household CEO/Party Planner/Cook and DIYer.
This blog is called One Picky Chick... because I feel like we've only got One Life - One opportunity to get it right. I'm going to try my best... to do the best with it.
I've always been picky. It started as a young child and has never stopped.
Now, I put that picky to the test when I try to find buyers and sellers the right house, in the right neighborhood for the right price. But I don't stop there. My passion has long been turning houses into homes so I also help people decorate and make the right remodeling choices!
As a young woman my personality led me to be a speaker and writer. I was a television journalist for almost 20 years. I went to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA as a Communications major. After graduation, I studied journalism at Stanford. My first "real job" was at a tiny TV station in Victorville, CA. I soon moved to an NBC station in Kennewick, WA. Next up was Spokane, WA (ABC). After several years there, I traveled back home to Orange County, California. where I anchored the nightly newscasts for a cable station called the Orange County News Channel (OCN).
Finally, I rounded out my career at the NBC affiliate in Phoenix, AZ on their morning show. It was also during this time I attended Real Estate School and got my Real Estate License. After I got married and bought my first house, homes, decorating, DIY and remodeling became my next love. I currently work for Posh Properties. Helping people buy and sell homes.
In 2011, after the birth of my second child, I hung up my microphone for the last time. I no longer wanted to tell others stories... I wanted to tell my own. I started this blog as a way to do that. We all have a story to create. And we all have just one chance to do it.
People still ask me, "do you miss your former job?" My answer is simple: no. I'd be missing out on so much more if I was still doing that. So, with this blog I write about what I love. Parenting, married life, remodeling, houses, party planning, decorating, cocktails, food, kid ideas, some health, some products and a teeny bit of fashion. I think I may be the luckiest, picky person in the world.
Come with me! I'm One Picky Chick...
