Michelle previously admitted that she was thankful for the extra time with her daughters during COVID-19, which saw Sasha and older sister Malia, 22, move back in with their parents when their schools closed.
"This time has allowed us to get some stolen moments back with our girls," she told People. "Those recaptured moments have meant the world to us and I think they've made our relationships with our children even stronger."
Michelle's public shout-out comes after her husband revealed that he and his wife worried about whether their children would end up as "weird kids".
