Michelle Bates
Howdy! I am Michelle, a Lubbock native who has ventured out and returned back multiple times. I am a full-time bonus mom to two girls, Kaley (August 2004) and Kalyn (March 2008). I own my own trucking company with my sister, and my husband & I have a pleasure farm in Littlefield with all sorts of livestock. There's always an adventure to be had in my life, and I look forward to sharing it with you via Lubbock Moms!
