About

My name is Michelle Cox and I’m a 42-year-old mother of three (dear daughter – DD- age 14 , dear son – DS – age 10 and dear baby girl – DB - age 1 year).  I’ve been married to dear husband – DH – for 16 years. Baby No. 3 (born in October 2007) was my 40th birthday present to myself and the impetus for me starting this blog. She’s also the reason I didn’t post for eight months.  I was so busy enjoying her I neglected to write about it.

I’m a former print journalist turned freelance writer. After a few years in a PR agency, I re-launched my freelance business so that I could stay home with my baby.  I’m busier than I expected to be, but that’s a good thing for us freelancers.  If you’re in the market for a writer, check out my web site at www.michellemcox.com.

I enjoy jogging and have run the Chicago Marathon twice (2005 and 2006).  I returned to distance running shortly after Baby No. 3 arrived and ran the St. Louis half marathon in April 2008.  

I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state.  A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking, and attending swim meets.
