Hi, it’s been a minute! Between traveling to Chicago for Pampered Chef Conference, working my full-time job, running summer fundraisers, and trying to enjoy a little summer fun, I feel like I blinked and fall is almost here!

Before we jump into a new season, I wanted to take a minute to properly reconnect. Consider this my official “get to know me again” post. 😊

For anyone newer here, I’m Michelle! By day, I work full-time handling quotes, orders, shipments, and all the details that keep things moving. I’m also a Pampered Chef Director, which means I help people make mealtime easier, support hosts and fundraisers, mentor my team, share recipes, and answer lots of messages—usually with coffee nearby. ☕️

I started this business because I wanted something of my own that would allow me to earn extra income, meet new people, and help others get more of what they want. Seven years later, it has grown into so much more than I expected.

A few things you may not know about me: I have three adult children, a cat named Noodle, and I’ve completed five marathons. I love Lifetime movies, true crime, easy recipes, fresh nails, and anything that makes life a little more fun. 😂

One of my biggest summer highlights was attending Pampered Chef Conference in Chicago. I came home inspired, grateful, and excited for everything ahead—including new products, fundraisers, and more opportunities to help people support causes they care about.

Summer hasn’t been perfectly calm or organized, but that’s real life. I want this space to feel like an actual friendship, not just another page you scroll past.

So that’s me, officially reintroduced. 💕

Now I’d love to hear about you! Tell me one thing you enjoyed this summer or something you’re looking forward to this fall. I read every response!
