mamamichellegj : MyBlogHer Profile

My name is Michelle... I am married to the most wonderful man in the world, Dale… mom to Madelyn, my 19 month old, rambunctious toddler… step-mom to 4 wonderful kids, Kendra, Andrew, Hannah and Joshua, whom don’t live with us on a regular basis. All of the kids drive me crazy… although, I’ll be the first to admit, it’s not a far drive!

We have 2 cats; Fiona, the princess, and Spooky, the tomboy; and a dog, Diesel, the Chihuahua. They all avoid each other, which, I suppose is better than chasing and growling. Now that Diesel is getting more comfortable with “his” house, he’s started to pretend chase the cats. The 2 newest additions to the family are Charlie & Lola, the female beta fish. 

I have absolutely no patience… pretty tough with 5 kids! Nothing that a little wine won’t help! It’s funny because my husband has the patience of Mother Theresa… maybe one of the reasons we’re so perfect together.

I love spending time with the hubs and Maddi! I enjoy knitting, scrapbooking, sewing and decorating rooms in our home… sometimes re-decorating, which drives my husband crazy. As a family, we do game night and make fun dinners from other countries, and we do a lot of camping. This year should be lots of fun with Maddi being SO mobile now.
