Michelle Obama's Birthday As She Turns 49

Happy 49th Birthday, Michelle Obama!

It goes without saying that we're huge fans of Michelle Obama around these parts. What's not to love? She super smart, a great mom, loving wife and can dress her tush off. (And let's not forget she knows how to Dougie)


Born in Chicago on January 17, 1964, Michelle Obama is a graduate of both Princeton University and Harvard Law School. While working in Chicago at the law firm Sidley Austin, she met the man who would become president and married him on October 3, 1992. 

They moved into the White House with their two children Malia and Sasha on January 15, 2008. The current first lady has championed health and fitness for children, even starting an organic garden on the White House grounds. As the self-described "mom-in-chief" of the First Family, Obama has won praise from many as a hard-working, public-spirited, and compassionate parent.

Enjoy!
