Michelle
Michelle is the Owner and Editor of Fairfield County Mom and Westchester County Mom, two thriving parenting communities she proudly leads with passion and purpose. A lifelong Fairfield County native, Michelle grew up in Norwalk and now calls Fairfield, CT home. She married her husband, Chris, in October 2008, and together they’re raising a lively crew: their son Shane (born March 2011), twins Blake and Brynn (born June 2013), plus two lovable pups—Hank the loyal Lab and Bruce the mischievous Frenchie. By day, Michelle is a dedicated third-grade teacher at a local public school, juggling lesson plans and lunchboxes like a pro. Her days are filled with carpools, laundry piles, sideline cheering, and the beautiful chaos of motherhood. When she carves out a rare moment for herself, you’ll find her curled up with a great book, savoring dark chocolate, or unwinding with an espresso martini.
