Meet Michelle!

Michelle Ross, a good friend of mine lives in Nepal. She is as interesting as her surroundings. She lives in Nepal because her husband works for the government and shipped the family there for his work. Michelle has 7 children, which she makes 'tow the line' but cares for wonderfully. Because of her, they are great kids. She said when they would walk through the streets, people would stop, look, smile and sometimes touch her children. Maybe because they hadn't seen Americans or because they hadn't seen so many. I love the visual of this good Mormon Mom walking down the streets of a foreign land, making a good impression on the people she meets. Talk about good missionary work. She's very creative and sensible, which makes a great mix of Martha Stewart style without to much wasteful "frufru"(or jail time). (Frufru= my husbands word for those little touches women like to add that sometimes are too much). The last I heard, they are coming home for a year and then being sent to China. Imagine a Mother of seven in China! Just being a great Mom should be enough to bring celebrity/hero status. Moms deserve that! Go Michelle!
