About Powered by Mom

I’m Michelle aka Powered by Mom. I’m married with one daughter, my hubby was my high school sweetheart, our two dogs Nyx and Cleo and our cat Oliver. As you can see we’re a family of animal lovers. We love to travel when we can, try different food and activities all over the world and enjoy being together. My passions are writing, travelling, creating new recipes, encouraging people to adopt not shop and just to enjoy life while we can.

As an animal lover I also volunteer with a rescue organization called Three Little Pitties All Breed Rescue. I'm part of the cat program Three Little Kitties Saving Kitties which tries to save as many cats as possible in Houston, Texas which has a huge overpopulation fo cats and they euthanize far too many cats (and dogs) we want to change that. Please check out their Facebook page and consider donating https://www.facebook.com/ThreeLittlePittiesRescueSavingKitties

Normally we would spend two or three weeks on vacation somewhere with our grandson but God had other plans. Thankful he’s here. Hopefully next summer a trip to Tybee Island Georgia to see the beach there the first time.

    Oh we planted our first ever mini container garden! We had so much fun watching them all grow and being able to pick and eat them right off the plants! So funny but one we grew beans ….and Carter has never wanted to eat beans for 4 years…and now…eats them right off the plant and cooked! 🙂 He just loves to go out and check everything! Even had a butterfly lay eggs on our carrots…got to watch 4 of them grow! Had a blast!
