In 2012 Kilee started her popular style and DIY blog, ONE little MOMMA. She shared her outfits of the day, thrifting finds and authentic stories that gained a following of loyal women. On the search for just the right earring for a daily outfit, she DIY'd one out of gold leather. The result was so unique that it inspired the begining of N&S. Her husband joined her as they launched Nickel & Suede in their basement in June of 2014.

Kilee is a mom of FIVE boys and yes, she is just as busy as you might imagine! Motherhood is her most treasured role and you'll often find one of her kids hanging around the office or setting up a lemonade stand out front. She is passionate about encouraging women to take time for themselves and growing their own skills and talents, even and especially in the thick of motherhood.
