Hi, friend. I'm so glad you're here.

Welcome to Married a Michelsen—a cozy corner of the internet where faith comes first, everyday moments are celebrated, and grace is always greater than perfection.

I'm Erica, and I'm so grateful you stopped by.

Like many women, I'm learning that life isn't about having it all together. It's about trusting God through every season, finding joy in the ordinary, and embracing the life He's writing for us one day at a time.

Whether I'm studying Scripture with a cup of coffee in hand, trying a new recipe, sharing a favorite outfit, creating family traditions, or simply reflecting on what God is teaching me, my hope is that you'll leave here feeling encouraged and reminded that you're never walking alone.

This blog began as a place to share pieces of my life, but over time God began shaping it into something much deeper.

I realized that so many of us are longing for the same things: a stronger faith, a peaceful home, healthier habits, meaningful relationships, and the confidence to embrace who God created us to be.

Married a Michelsen exists to encourage women to seek Jesus first while finding beauty and purpose in everyday life. My prayer is that this space feels less like a website and more like sitting across the table from a friend.

What You'll Find Here:

Around here you'll discover encouragement for everyday life, including:

• Faith-filled Bible studies and devotionals

• Christian encouragement and reflections

• Healthy living and simple recipes

• Home and lifestyle inspiration

• Plus-size fashion and confidence

• Family life, traditions, and seasonal favorites

• Honest stories from my own journey of faith

No matter what brings you here, I hope you find something that points you toward hope.

My mission is simple:

To encourage women to cultivate faith, joy, and purpose in everyday life while embracing grace over perfection.

I believe some of life's sweetest moments happen in the ordinary—the quiet mornings, conversations around the table, answered prayers, fresh starts, and the simple reminders of God's faithfulness woven throughout our days.

You won't find perfection here.

You'll find someone learning, growing, and trusting Jesus one step at a time.

Whether you've been following Jesus for years or you're simply curious about faith, I'm so thankful you're here.

My prayer is that every time you visit Married a Michelsen, you'll leave feeling encouraged, inspired, and reminded of God's goodness.

So grab a cup of coffee, get comfortable, and come sit awhile.

I'm so glad you're here.
