Michelle originates from Pasadena, TX. She danced her way through high school and then business school at The University of Texas at Austin. After beginning her Human Resources career, Michelle relocated to Wisconsin, snatched up a workplace sweetheart {Jeff} who she lovingly refers to as "Farmboy", and brought him back to Texas, where they have lived since 2011. Michelle and Jeff married in 2014 and welcomed two sons into their lives (2015 and 2018). With two littles in the house, Michelle decided to leave the workforce in 2020 in favor of the SAHM gig. When the business suit came off and athleisure {or PJs} became her new dress code, Michelle discovered her love for writing and macrame. She wrote, illustrated, and self-published two children's books: What Shoes Do Yetis Choose? and Is the Minotaur a Rock Star? and launched her macrame Etsy shop in 2022: FourthHouseDesigns.etsy.com. When she is not chasing littles or chasing creative endeavors, Michelle is either volunteering on the PTO Board; inhaling a novel on history, spirituality, or fantasy romance; counting down the days until Halloween; being socially awkward; or watching cat videos -- sometimes all at once.
