about me

Hi, I’m Shelley — a Texas-based mom of four, professional memory-maker, and believer that both great meals and great vacations have the magic to bring families closer.

At home, life is full. I’m raising boy/girl twins and a son with very special medical needs plus one incredibly sassy four-year-old princess who keeps us all on our toes. Movies, laughter, and travel are our love languages, and some of our favorite memories have been made together at Walt Disney World and onboard cruise ships. Almost every week, you’ll find a few of us sneaking away to our happy place: a dark movie theater where bonding comes with popcorn and previews.

This website is the home of two businesses that both exist to help families create magical moments together.

For over 16 years, I’ve been a Pampered Chef Independent Consultant and leader. Cooking with Shelley shows that busy families can get dinner on the table…and maybe even have fun along the way! Through cooking, hosting, and teaching, I’ve helped families simplify mealtime and gather around the table more often.

Earning free vacations through Pampered Chef led me to my second entrepreneurial obsession as a travel advisor. I specialize in planning luxury family trips to Disney and Universal destinations, cruises, and all-inclusive resorts. With More and More Magic, I help big families plan unforgettable trips with less stress. All details are thoughtfully tailored to each family’s unique needs — especially for those traveling with children of various ages or with special considerations.

Whether you’re here for recipes, kitchen tips, travel planning, or inspiration, my goal is to help you spend more time creating cherished memories with the people who matter most.

I’m so glad you’re here. Welcome to our little corner of magic and family fun! ✨
