trusted expert in a particular field, who seeks to pass knowledge on to others.
It all started when I was home sick from school with the Chicken Pox in the third grade, I couldn't bring myself to watch one more episode of the Price is Right so I turned to the kitchen instead. I found a turkey that had been thawing in the refrigerator and took it upon myself to prepare a full on Thanksgiving type meal for my family while they were away at work. If only I could have captured the look on their faces when they walked through the door!Since that day back in third grade I have continued to hone my culinary, household and organizational skills as I have progressed through my education and career. I received my bachelors degree from Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration where I had the opportunity to train and cook with top chefs from around the country including Ming Tsai and Marcus Samuelsson. Then, post-Cornell I explored a number of areas within the food and restaurant business including; restaurant consulting & managing, grocery management, catering, etc. I found that I enjoyed each of these jobs for different reasons and not one of them was exactly what I was looking for, so in the fall of 2007 I returned to school to earn my MBA in Sustainable business from the Bainbridge Graduate Institute.
Coincidentally, during grad school I got engaged and was married to my husband, Scott, and people kept making the comment; "heidi, I wish you were my wife." So that's it, the perfect job, I want to get paid to be someone's "wife." Even better, I was hired to be the Household Manager for a family in Seattle which allows me to be their private chef, personal organizer and contractor liason.
So now I have my MBA and an Ivy League education and all I really want to do is play house and help you organize your house and prepare your meals so you can enjoy playing house too!
Enjoy my blog!
