Who’s the Host

I’m Melissa! The Host Extraordaire of Chats from the Blog Cabin

I am Melissa, wife, mom to 3 beautiful girls, and multiple furbabies. I have a passion for helping and encouraging others. I started my journey as a blogger. I was an English and communications major in college so this was the perfect job for me. I did it part-time when I was teaching. I taught elementary school and I absolutely loved it and would probably still be doing it if a series of life-altering events had not happened in 2014. That was when I decided to go full steam ahead on this blogging journey. Since then my blog Adventures of Frugal Mom has taken off. I now host my own Podcast show from the inside of my “Blog Cabin” called Chats from the Blog Cabin. I got to interview several of the Real Housewives from Bravo and even Nicki Koziark from Proverbs 31 ministries to name a few.
