Michelle is the Owner and Editor of Fairfield County Mom and Westchester County Mom. Born and raised in Norwalk, she now lives in Fairfield, CT, with her husband, Chris, whom she married in 2008, back when she thought she was “busy.” Fast forward to life with her son Shane (2011), twins Blake and Brynn (2013), a black Lab named Hank, and a Frenchie named Bruce, and she now laughs at her pre-mom self. By day, Michelle is a second grade team leader at a local public school, which means she’s a chaos-managing, data-collecting superhero in sensible shoes. By night, she’s a list-making, laundry-folding, sideline-cheering multitasker who runs on coffee and Diet Coke (RIP tequila). She believes in storytelling, building community, and finding the humor in this wild ride called motherhood (preferably from the quiet of her parked car).
