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

    I would love some ideas on smaller gifts, around $25 each, that would be great for aunts & uncles, friends, etc…

      Thanks Jenn good idea we should do a smaller gifts guide suggestion. How about Hidden Treasure candles for the aunts? If you get a deal on shipping or any sales then it could be about $25. These candles are also nice and inexpensive if they like candles: http://fragrances123.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=694_695&products_id=10136 I personally love the Green Tea & ginger but they also have lavender vanilla, sweet orange and myrhh, lemongrass and bergamot (another fave) and more. If you message them directly and say you came from here you’ll get a better deal 🙂

    I would love to see more electronic items considering that our family and many other families won’t be able to afford them for Christmas this year. And any other more expensive items that will be out of our budget reach. (If you are considering this list for giveaways.) Items that we will be buying will be more of the necessities, learning toys and devices, toddler furniture, ect.

    This year, with the exception of our grandson Mason (due in Nov), we will be focusing our gift-giving on home decor items. Our 2 teen girls will each have their own new bedroom to decorate. They’ve shared a bedroom for so long, I really don’t think they’ll know what to do all alone in a room LOL
    Since we are in the process of buying a home, there will be no electronics gifts being given this year.

    I’m always on the hunt for the “filler” gifts. I have a very large family and I try throughout the year to buy the smaller neat gifts that don’t cost very much but aren’t the type of gift people throw away. Since I shop for everyone from 2 to 60, I am always looking for a variety. If I had to narrow it down, my family only agrees on one thing….sports! If it’s sports related, we are all over it…any sport!

    I am going to be looking at an ipod touch for my daughter and books for her as well. For other family it will be along the same line as for my daughter – electronics. My sister in law is going to be getting married earlier next year so I will also be looking at household gifts for her and her future husband. I also like to get amazon gift cards for family members who have kindles and love to read 🙂

    I would love to see a guide that had a NO batteries required section… no plugs, no batteries… Something neat, new, and not made by a major manufacturer.

    (As for starting now – can’t say I blame you. I picked my date for our annual Pre-Thanksgiving feast 2 weeks ago! Since it takes time to plan a menu, and some of our guests get their work schedules a month at a time!)

    Oh, I have a looooong holiday shopping/wish list
    For kids: toys, shoes or clothing
    For DH: perfume, shaving stuff, anything related to cooking, electronics or some cool kitchen appliances like mixer or deep fryer
    For family members: chocolate or gift baskets, photo canvas or photo books
    For myself: anything craft related, sewing machine would be a dream present for me! Also new vacuum cleaner would be nice.
    And last but not least “family fun” presents like movie tickets, or vacation (or staycation), free-nights at some hotel, or free miles or car rental or gift card to a restaurant, or family gym membership, or tickets to Disneyland or SixFlags or watermark or zoo. So basically anything that can let us have fun as entire family

Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year wh Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year where we'll start spending more time outside enjoying the weather, grilling and the longer days of light and so much more. ☀️⛱ SponsoredI may have gotten a head start as we went camping for the first time this year and this really reminded me of how I love to sit outside and enjoy a good campfire or one in our firepit in our backyard and enjoying the quiet of the evening and stars twinkling in the night sky. 🌠⭐It also brings up memories of good food, grilled food my favourite kind with all those fun and delicious marinades, rubs and sauces to dress up and enhance the flavour of your food. Stay tuned for my upcoming recipe that has a delicious and creamy lemon sauce with chicken cooked in a #castiron pan. 🍋🍳I've teamed up with @ChickenDotCA to give one lucky winner an Outdoor Wood Burning Round Cooking Pit for the month of April.

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
