Hey Friend!

Meet Michelle

I'm a Midwest wife and mama to two spirited boys

I’m an enneagram 3w4, wife and a crunchy, chicken nugget, yoga pants wearing mom of two boys. My longest relationship is with Grey’s Anatomy, I enjoy long strolls alone in Target, Pumpkin Cold Foam Cold Brew is my coffee order, I’m the friend who gets the pictures of odd things asking if this is normal, I love yoga but really I go for the savasana, I am everyone’s instant friend, I might not make you a home cooked meal, but I sure as heck will pick you up something from Costco. I have a new found love of hiking and gardening. If I could go anywhere for a day I would love to meet Chip and Jo!
